O.K. --- I'm giving an endorsement to a shoe

[packman]

I've tried for years, if not decades to find that "perfect shoe" and IMHO this is it. Health issues made it a quest to find that shoe fit just right and wasn't a pain to put on- hand problems. I hate Velcro straps both in looks and giving that right pressure around the foot. These slip on without bending over and , since I have different foot size because of swelling, are a blessing. I was able to "add" some width to my right foot something couldn't do with previous shoes-- Wife ordered a pair and loves them also as she couldn't find a shoe in her size and width, but these shoes fit her perfectly.

BTW - Zeba throws in a pair of ankle-socks and a pair of alternative laces

Cons- expensive (order from Zeba directly-not Amazon) at roughly $130, and a bit heavy weight-wise.

Hope this post, like some of my others, does not get alerted as pushing a product - am posting as a sincere effort to help fellow DUers

1. Gonna share with hubs.

He can’t tie his shoes because of a hand injury. It’s a daily struggle for him.

2. One of my former problems with other shoes - these are a blessing

He'll love them - get something spiffy and loud - lot of styles to try

3. I'm going to piggyback onto your post, packman.

Over three years ago, I found a pair of shoes that are the most comfortable I’ve ever owned, at least as an adult. The brand is fairly well-known, the name begins and ends with an “S” and they are available stock, in “Extra-Wide Fit” which is the key for me.

They are of a no-lace, loafer style with all-leather uppers and can easily be slipped on or off, hands free, sitting or standing. I was able to go down two half sizes because of the extra width. No more too long toes or too tight toe box. They’re pretty much perfect for me and I wear them most days and everywhere, even for short, easy hikes up in the trees — otherwise I pull out the big guns. At the beginning of the pandemic I bought another pair which I’ve just now started wearing, though the first pair is still plenty serviceable. I’ll buy another pair soon too, just in case.

My feet haven’t been this happy in decades packman, so if your OP gets yanked, at least our collective feet, hands and peace of mind won’t care.

4. Why does it have laces?

Here are my sneakers:

?

I will never buy shoes with laces again.

5. The laces are there for a snug, tighter fit (if needed)

After adjustment with the laces (Sorta like a girdle) they are good to go and can be adjusted as needed. Not really there to be laced up every day.

I had the shoe you are showing, actually several pairs of same, and my foot just sort of felt loose in them. While walking in them, felt unsteady. Needed something more binding and firmer around my big feet, yet adjustable.

6. I bought a pair in January. I love them.

I wish they could do the same thing in a dress shoe.

7. Thanks a bunch - Mrs. lib has bending problems and putting on shoes is a chore for her

This may make a great pre-christmas present.

9. My husband has Parkinson's and these are a godsend.

I bought a pair of these for my husband with Parkinson's disease and, since he usually rejects all my attempts to make things easier, I told him that it was my impulse and I wanted him to try them. I promised that if he set them aside I would say nothing. He tried them, set them aside, and about a week later started to wear them to the exclusion of all other shoes including his previous favorites. He has them on right now. So far the shoes have held up and, even if I had to replace them every six months, I would gladly do so.

Now if they would come up with something he would accept for socks. So far nothing I have bought has been accepted.

11. Holy Guacamole!

That is exactly what I need!

My MS has been attacking my spinal cord and I have to fight with my shoes.
