Hi Marie,
The Rolli Clothing company in San Diego specializes in clothes for wheelchair
users, but they also have a few shoes in their catalog that open completely
on the top, and have velcro closures. I don't have a pair, but I've seen
pictures of them in the catalog. This might be an option. There aren't any
pictures of the shoes on their website, but you can order a catalog online.

Also, I found a specialty shoe company on the web that might be helpful.
They have pictures of various shoes on their site.

I wonder if the first option would be most helpful. If the shoes open up
from the toe, then putting them on wouldn't interfere with the bandaging on
your feet.
I wore spike heels for years in my pre-disability days, so I've got tons of
shoes in the closet I can't wear anymore. A guy I once worked with told me
"Baby, you've got a well-turned ankle." If I ever hear that again, it's
going to be from an emergency room physician ;-)
Good luck!
Betty
