Shoes for my 90 yr old grandmother

7 replies

Comps83 · 11/12/2020 12:47

Help me please
I don't know what to get her for Xmas and I've left it far too late
She has complained about not being able to go out and buy more shoes/boots due to Covid
I have no idea what I need to search for to buy comfortable shoes or boots for someone of her age who is pretty unsteady on her feet
Any brand suggestions?

I believe Hotter are popular with older ladies.
I assume she doesn’t have any swelling of her ankles or feet. That’s a different type of she shopping

Hotter

I came here to say hotter too, their customer service is good if you need to return.

Hotter is a pretty good bet. Go for ones with only a slight heel (i.e not completely flat like ballerinas or converse) and similar to ones she already has in terms of fastening. Be prepared to return them if they don't fit.

Another one here to say Hotter.

My grandmother used to wear them, now my mum does... I wonder when it's my time?!?!

Like the daydream II boot ?
They look like other boots I've seen her wearing I think

My nan is 90 and has Hotter shoes, but Rocket Dog boots (the sheepskin calf length style). They are warm and comfy, but allow for her ankles to swell due to her arthritis.
