Guest guest Posted February 27, 2003 Report Share Posted February 27, 2003 Hello Group, Here's how I put on my socks and shoes. I sit on my bed with both legs straight out front on mattress. Then bend my knee, and put on my sock. I hold the bottom of my foot, under toes, and stick my foot in the shoe. Usually pulling the sock and twisting it until it doesn't bulge under my toes. Sounds tricky but with practice it works. Then I pull my longjohns over the sock and that usually helps the sock stay in place. I must look pretty weird sitting full length on my bed, completely dressed-including socks and shoes! When I got my orthodics, the dr. told me to always wear shoes that tie or fasten with velcro on topside of shoe. The strange part is that some days I must wear very thin socks and some days I need very thick ones. Same feet, different day. As long as I can wiggle my toes inside the shoe, I figure I'm doing it right. Hope this helps, Midge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
