Yes — Apex Classic Strap Stretch Women’s Comfort Mary Janes run mostly true to size in length, but the fit is very forgiving in width and instep due to the stretchy upper and adjustable strap. For your MIL’s foot type (size 5–5.5, wide forefoot with bunions and hammertoes, thin heel, and needs easy slip-on): this shoe is an excellent match. The roomy forefoot accommodates bunions and hammertoes comfortably, while the adjustable strap customizes the fit over the instep. However, the heel may feel slightly loose—especially with a thin heel—unless the correct width is chosen and the strap is secured snugly. For her, go with size 5 rather than 5.5: the stretchy material already allows extra space, and going up may cause heel slippage. The hook-and-loop strap will help adjust for any needed snugness, ensuring security and comfort for nighttime wear.
