hi,I’ve had to accept that I. We’d Velcro slippers.

I’ve had another fall. I bought sensible expensive slippers,but now I’ve lost more weight they’re too loose.

I’ve looked at the Cosy feet website,has any one got any recommendations.

sorry you had a fall. Do you need wide slippers? I bought some for my mother recently from Cosyfeet but they were too wide! They are very helpful on the phone though. Worth a call.

Have you looked at Damart?

And these people have good range:

what about slipper socks, or those other slippers that have got stretchy tops, I know M & S definitely sell those , especially around xmas times. I have these.

As a temporary measure have you tried putting a insole in your slippers to make them fit better?

Hope you have recovered from your fall and weren’t too damaged. Give you such a fright though doesn’t it.

I have given up on slippers altogether and now wear comfortable Sketchers shoes with a memory foam sole that fit and support well. I keep them for indoors only.

I am afraid I can't help, because the best ones I have ever seen were when I was a child in Canada in the 1970s. My grandfather had really bad RA, very disabled by it. He had a pair of slippers that looked like a cross between moccasins and walking boots, which were sheepskin lined and unlaced all the way down to the toes. He used to sit in his chair with his slippers undone, and we grandchildren used to call his slippers canoes, because they were a bit boat like!

I hope you can find your canoes!

I have bought velcro slippers from Shoe Zone. I have med to wide feet and they suit me. You can return them either to the shop or by post if not any good.

Not what you're looking for?
