New season, new shoes! As the weather cools down and fall footwear comes out of the closet, it’s a good time to think about how your shoes may affect your prosthesis.
Different shoes can have different heel heights, soles, and shapes, which may affect alignment, comfort, and how your prosthesis feels when you walk.
Before switching up your footwear for the season:
// Choose shoes that provide a secure, supportive fit.
// Be mindful of changes in heel height and sole thickness.
// Pay attention to any changes in comfort, balance, or walking.
// Talk with your prosthetist if a new pair of shoes doesn’t feel right.
Step into fall with comfort and confidence!
