The Difference in Wearing Shoes During Ihram Between Men and Women

Question
I have a foot problem, and I wear a medical shoe. My doctor advised me not to walk without it. Is it permissible for me to keep wearing it during Ihram, Tawaf, and Sa'i, and do I have to pay a compensation?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: It is permissible for a woman to wear any shoes during Hajj, and she has no expiation to make, and God knows best.
