Elderly Footwear

We know that as we age, many individuals have the potential to suffer from a variety of foot problems. For the elderly, we have several items in our slipper, sock and shoe department to address issues with footwear. For example, some common foot problems are bunions or hammer toes. We have a selection of shoes and slippers that are designed to have adequate width to ease pressure on the bunions or hammer toes. They prevent the discomfort that occurs in conventional footwear caused from pressure and rubbing against the affected area. Also common as a footwear problem for the elderly is swelling in the feet and ankles due to immobility and/or a medical condition such as CHF (congestive heart failure) or venous insufficiency (lack of adequate circulation in the lower legs). Many of our socks, slippers and shoes for women and men have ample width and/or adjustable hook and loop closures to accommodate moderate to severe swelling. Conditions such as diabetes can cause foot problems such as ulcers. We carry socks that stretch to ease pressure on the ulcer and prevent restriction due to swelling of the feet.
Please look through our footwear section to find items that will address your specific footwear problems and browse through our catalog for other dressing solutions.
