Slip on shoes........please read thanks

[Guest guest]

Hello all,

I've been thinking about the slip on shoe issue a lot lately. I

certainly can't tie my shoes after surgery, and I have trouble with

them right now as it is. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Clogs are too dangerous for me. I'd slip and fall on my ass. Has to

have a rubber sole for me to wear it!

Should I check out LL Bean or somewhere like that online???

Just curious......cause I want to be able to have shoes that I can

put on easily and by myself.

Hugs,

Cathy
