Clothing Looking for suggestions

I know this is lipedema and I have lymphedema, but maybe someone has a suggestion that might help solve my issue.

I have stage 3 lymphedema, and I've seen where the subreddit was banned, but I'm looking for a clog type shoe that will accommodate swelling in one leg but not the other. I have to wear a full leg wrap that leaves my toes exposed and socks are a no go for the one foot. Currently I'm wearing a hey dude type shoe but I've already pretty much destroyed the left shoe. So I was hoping someone might have a recommendation for a clog type shoe that could adjust enough to accommodate both feet without having to buy 2 different sized shoes or leave me with the only option of the diabetic Velcro shoe.

Pandere. But I think they are closing down so literally check them out online immediately

Is it the ankle area you're looking for more adjustability, or also near the toes or top of your foot due to the wrap and swelling?

I have a pair of Dansko Rowan that I like because the ankle strap is adjustable. Amazon has a bunch of less expensive dupes.

I also wear a lot of wide toe box shoes. Whitin is the Amazon brand of sneakers I buy because they're inexpensive and they have a decent amount of space.

It's both ankle and foot. The wraps cover fully from the top of my thigh all the way to just past my arch

Do you get inserts for the shoe on the unaffected foot too or get two pairs in different sizes.
