Anybody have any suggestions for shoes/slippers/moccasins for a Permobile M5 Corpus wheelchair user? Specifically shoes that stay on the feet but at the same time don't cause any pressure problems. I've been a C4 ? C5 quadriplegic for almost 35 years now and I do have a little atrophy in my toes. I just came from an Invacare TDX5 and I can't seem to keep shoes/slippers/moccasins on my feet in this Permobile M5 Corpus. For example, my heel keeps popping out and my foot slides back in the shoe in the Permobile. Unlike with the TDX5 the Permobile?s leg rests are attached together although each foot pedal can be adjusted individually, and they have already been adjusted several times. It seems almost impossible to get my feet to sit perfectly flat on the foot pedals. They didn't fit perfectly on the TDX5 either but it was better and the shoes didn't come off.
At this point I will take anything that even remotely looks like shoes. This includes ?sock shoes? that I think athletes wear sometimes. In the meantime I'm just wearing my socks most of the time unless I have to go somewhere. In the case of the latter I've been putting on my moccasins or slippers and just having them shoved back on occasionally.
So any suggestions for anything more permanent would be greatly appreciated.
