@eddieeddie,
That depends on the person's feet.

Surely you don't want to sell us some other batch of shoes?

@eddieeddie,
Horseshoes. They get exercise to firm up their muscles and strengthen their stability and balance.

It's known here that I favor the SAS (San Antonio Shoe) shoes. They are flat soled with a fairly good gripping surface on the bottom, comfortable, and don't interfere with circulation. They are now offered with Velcro fasteners, which is helpful for those with limited flexibility.

@ClintonC,
I agree with ClintonC. Any kind of shoe will work definitely, but it should be flat even. Shoes with soul are preferred more, as it provides relaxation and helps elders in making good grip.

@roger,
Flat soled are the worst for me.

Consider that peoples's fee vary before selling online. Talk about stupid.

@ossobuco,
I didn't sell them online. I bought them at the SAS shoe store. You were with me, if I recall. That was the day dlowan was in town.

@roger,
Feet, I meant feet, as I assume you know as you are pretty good with spelling.

I probably would like those shoes too. I've no idea, I can't afford them. I liked the ones (from afar) that you bought for your sister, and liked the ones I saw in the shop when I visited.
