My mom has plantar fasciitis, and these are the only house shoes she wants now
My mom has always suffered from foot pain — so much so that there are times she can’t walk more than half a mile in one go.She’s tried special soles and sneakers, and avoided wearing heels for years, but very few pairs of shoes are actually wearable for her.She also suffers from plantar fasciitis, an inflammation in the foot that causes heel pain.
Recently, she tried the Comfort Slide from Fulton to see whether her feet could tolerate them and whether she liked the style for everyday wear.The first thing she said when she put these slippers on was, “Wow, these fit so well!” She wiggled her toes around and flexed her feet, happy with how her heel felt in the shoe.She wore them around my apartment, breaking them in and seeing how her feet handled it.Once she was sure they felt comfortable enough, she wore them around the entire building, replacing her decade-old house slippers with the Fultons.Sizes: 5-14 | Colors: Natural, BlackMy mom always wears slippers around her home.
She hates putting her feet on cold floors, and when she’s working in the kitchen, she hates getting dirt or food scraps stuck to her feet.That’s why a comfortable house shoe is so important for her.“Many people don’t think twice about what they wear inside the house, but supportive house shoes can help reduce stress on the feet, especially during prolonged walking and standing on hard, unnatural indoor surfaces like hardwood, tile, and concrete,” adds Dr.
