- Made in the UK
- 3-hole lace-up conversion available from the original velcro-strap
version
- Lycra (Spandex) top gently expands to almost any foot shape
- Generous natural fit - some customers find these shoes ½
a size large.
- No toe-puffs - for better stretching washing & ventilation
- Removable foam insole: Poron
foam was developed by the foam rubber industry for a more
durable and breathable footwear cushion than standard foam.
- Virtually seam-free: the inside linings of our shoes are
as smooth as possible. Internal seams have been kept to a minimum
to ensure that the shoe is comfortable from day one
- Sewn-in footbed for easy orthotic adaption: sometimes these
shoes can be an alternative to specially-made orthopaedic shoes.
- Flex Comfort durable soles with grippers and a slight spring
under the heel
- Lace-up versions available in size 4 and 7
- Suitable for adding stick-on
soles or "lifts" to alter heel height - we suggest
using a shoe repair shop for this job rather than a DIY kit as
it requires some sanding of the original sole and careful evo-sticking
of the stick-on, which may also need to be ground to shape.
- Suitable for vegans, Jains, strict Hindus, & those with
allergies to leather tanning chemicals.
Stella - an extra wide velcro-top
slipper for swollen feet, usually in stock up to size UK 9
Gail (sometimes called Zara) a very
slightly stretchy velour-top slipper with a hard plastic sole,
usually in stock up to size UK 8
Other disability & independent living aids:
- Door
alarms - to alert the carers of people with Alzheimers or
sleep walkers that they are opening a door. The design is quiet
enough not to cause panic and sufficiently awkward to turn-off
for patients not to be able to. Details are on the memorable
url of Kew.nu
- 22" shoe horns for £3.50 including postage & packing
- Comfylux washable velcro-top
slippers with grippy but flexible rubber soles & firm heel-stiffeners
available in two widths. See www.veganline.com/comfylux.htm
for the range.
- Customers tell us that stretchy shoes replace the Grippers
or Gripper Shoe range of diabetic footwear, sold with
the Traveller Shoe by a firm called Techbase Medical. If anyone
is able to trace suppliers for these products please get
in touch as we would be interested in selling both. An abandoned
website still exists for the product. We have copied the Grippers page for information.
