Hi, I’m struggling with arthritis at the moment, and I’m having hip replacement surgery in the next few weeks. I already struggle to tie laces, but it will be more so after surgery- I can’t afford a dislocation!
I’m not completely over the hill- I’m on the young side for this surgery, and I’m looking for shoes that I can wear comfortably, without socks, whilst I’m recovering. They need to have soft backs (bursar on one heel) and non- slip soles. But... I don’t want to look like I’m wearing shoes for someone who has just had surgery and can’t tie laces... and who has a dodgy heel on the other foot.
Mahabi do an outdoor version of their slipper, which is lined with wool. Allbirds (wool), I wear in the lace up version and I love how comfortable and soft they are.
I’m wondering which would be most comfortable/make me look least like my grandma. All other suggestions welcome too!
