Best slippers for painful foot and chronic medical conditions

When you get home after a hectic day, what is the first thing you typically reach for? Slippers! The soft, comfy, lightweight, and easy-to-wear slip-on house shoes soothe the soul because they de-stress tired and achy feet. One of the most common foot and ankle symptoms in more seasoned folks is edema, which is the medical term for swelling. Those who suffer from conditions like diabetes, arthritis, or obesity, for example, can oftentimes experience chronic foot pain. Others with plantar fasciitis, bunions, or hammertoes are plagued with foot pain. A good pair of slippers should help alleviate the discomfort and increased pain levels associated with various foot and chronic medical conditions.
