another light bulb moment. I find it much easier when putting on footweat, to cross leg and pull shoe on rather than try to keep foot still enough to put into shoe on the floor. its taken me many years to fathom this and wonder if I am the only one?

I have to sit to put on my canvas wrap over fastener shoe, I can cross my left foot over to put on the shoe, but for some reason unknown to me, I cant cross my right foot over...... puzzling. 🤨
