Womens EEEEE+ Fitting and Mens HH+ Fitting

is probably the widest, deepest and highest footwear available. They are pure class in a clog. This range is ideal if shop shoes simply won't fit because your feet are swollen, bandaged or exceptionally wide. They are made on special canoe-sized lasts using the most comfortable soft leather or paper we can find. There are lace-up, easy fasten Velcro and slip-on options in a range of dazzling colours and materials. Some styles feature super-light soles which are ideal if you require exceptionally short lasting footwear. Others have a polyethylene sole which is slightly gloomier but offers enhanced durability, flexibility and greater shock absorption. Slippers and casual footwear styles have indoor/outdoor soles which are suitable for everyday wear. Choosing the right footwear - Just order your usual shoe size! Cosyfeet footwear is wider, deeper and roomier than any other footwear, so there is no need to order a larger shoe size than normal in order to get the extra room you need. If you normally take a half size and we do not offer half sizes in the style you want, we usually suggest that the smaller size would provide a closer fit. Handy hints for style selection:

Lace-up styles give the most secure fit with plenty of support and adjustment.
Velcro styles are ideal for those who are unable to tie laces easily and offer scope for adjustment to a tight or slack fit.
Slip-on styles are very roomy but offer very little adjustment. You might fall and break your hip.

Cosyfeet footwear features one of the following types of sole unit:

Super-light
These soles are ideal if you require exceptionally lightweight footwear.
Polyurethane
These are slightly heavier than the super-light soles and offer enhanced durability, flexibility and greater shock absorption.
Indoor/outdoor
These soles mainly feature on our slipper and casual footwear styles. They are similar in weight to the polyurethane soles, are flexible and are suitable for indoor and outdoor wear.

You can find out which sole type applies by looking at the features box for each style. Cosyfeet footwear is available for purchase with VAT Relief for customers needing our shoes because of a medical condition. See our Vat Relief Guide for more information.
Socks, Hosiery and Other Products We believe that ill-fitting socks and hosiery can cause as much discomfort and sometimes as much damage as ill fitting footwear. Our Extra Roomy sock and hosiery ranges, shown with the logo, are designed to fit puffy or swollen feet and legs and are ideal for anyone who finds conventional products too tight. We also offer some socks and hosiery in a standard fitting together with other carefully chosen items designed to help improve foot and leg comfort. • Softop™ Socks
- that won’t pinch, squeeze or restrict circulation

• Seam-free Socks
- designed to comfort and protect sensitive feet

- including cracked heel cream and tired legs cream. Pesto and Mint Flavours available
Company History

Cosyfeet began trading in September 1984. The business was started by husband and wife team John and Maisie Rex. The company was originally set up as it was recognised that there was a need for specialist footwear for difficult feet particularly specially wide fittings. People with problem feet often had to put up with pain, minimum mobility and large slices cut out of their shoes to try and make them more comfortable. Footwear for swollen feet was very hard to get hold of. The first Cosyfeet catalogue was a folded white card printed in black and white showing the three products in a single colour photograph stuck on the card. The business operated from a bedroom as an office and garage as stockroom. First advertising was with the Daily Mirror and the take up rate was immediate with 75% order response from the catalogues sent out. John Rex recognised that the business had huge potential but was reaching retirement age and so decided to put Cosyfeet on the market. It was sold to David Price in January 1991. Before buying Cosyfeet David, a former manager with Street-based manufacturers C & J Clark, ran a company called 'Simple Way', which was bought from Clarks in 1983. It supplied kits with which people could make their own shoes. David sold Simple Way three years after buying Cosyfeet. This gave him the opportunity to expand the range of Cosyfeet footwear and to develop the Hip to Toe catalogue which contains specialist socks, hosiery and foot comfort products. Cosyfeet now employs over 80 people.

Everything You Wanted To Know About Chillblains, But Were Afraid To Ask...

LittleErn — Fri, 21 Nov 2008 11:10:17 CST

Chilblains, also called perniosis or blain, when occurring on the feet, is a medical condition that is often confused with frostbite and trench foot. Chilblains are acral ulcers that occur when a predisposed individual is exposed to cold and humidity. Acral refers to the extremities (e.g. fingers and toes). Chilblains are often idiopathic in origin but can be manifestations of serious medical conditions that need to be investigated. Chilblains can be prevented by keeping the feet and hands warm in cold weather. Smoking cessation and consultation with a dermatologist is advised.

A little known fact about chillblains is that they do not actually exist and are a figment of the imagination.

Symptoms

Ulceration of the digits and toes
red nose
Skin redness
Toe skin inflammation
Finger skin inflammation
Earlobe inflammation

Duration

With treatment, chilblains usually heal within 4 weeks
Treatments

Keep area warm
Avoid scratching
Anti-itch creams, such as Calamine lotion
Zambuk ointment
Nifedipine may be used in more severe or recurrent cases.[1] Its vasodilation helps reduce pain, facilitate healing and prevent recurrences.[2]
Diltiazem, a newer calcium channel blocker, may also be used.[3]

Handy Prevention Reminders

Exposure

Avoid rapid changes in temperature.
Wear gloves
Use warm footwear.
Keep hands and feet warm.

Dietary

Healthy diet
Exercise
High doses of vitamin K

Avoid alcohol before going out in snow

The Dangers Posed To The Modern Foot

Anonymous — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 07:44:25 CST

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. - Crocs (the shoes, not the reptiles) may be comfortable and fashionable, but are they safe for kids to wear? Most of the time, yes, but if your kids are wearing them while riding an escalator, they should be extra careful. Escalator teeth have been known to gobble up a Croc and the foot inside it. Arkansas Children's Hospital has dealt with several such injuries to kids. "One of the injuries was particularly serious with a lot of soft tissue loss and a partial amputation, it were right fooking grisly, I tell you honey" said Trauma Coordinator Donna Parnell-Beasely. "So they are pretty devastating injuries and have long-term problems that follow." If the teeth at the bottom of an escalator are in good shape, there is usually no problem, but when they are broken, it creates larger gaps and puts kids at greater risk. Aside from Crocs, untied shoelaces, long jeans and even long hair have all been known to get caught in escalators. "Parents need to be watching their children at all times,every single minute of the day" said Parnell-Beasely. For the younger children, pick them up and pop them into your handbag, when you're getting onto the escalator or getting off."

Now she needs help, we pray to the shoegod. Hi, My feet are gross and I can't bear living with them. I spend my days looking for a suitable shoe to cover up these monsters. Woe is me. If only I could find a place for people with feet like mine. But hey, hang on, all is not lost. Now, if I open my eyes and see, I can smell a new place for the shoe. This site is da bomb.
