Review on πŸ‘ž Hush Puppies Slip On Black Men's Shoes by Ted Slaughter

Fits Custom AFO: Men's

If you're looking for a nice shoe that's easy to slip on and safe for hemiplegia, check out Hush Puppies' Gil style. . My dad has specially fitted ankle braces to prevent sagging and we have to choose shoes that are a few sizes too big to accommodate this. We chose 13W to get the fit right - they're still snug, but we leave AFO in the shoes overnight so he can slide with the foot the next morning. It will take some practice to put the shoe on with one hand, but we think it was a good buy for his needs. The sole is non-slip, which reduces the chance of falls. Dad says the shoes felt a bit heavy but he compared them to the lighter shoes we bought for sports. It took him a week to adjust to the different heights and weights, but now he steps confidently and looks bouncy when he's on the move.

Pros
  • ZeroG Elon midsole and Rubberlon outsole for weight relief
Cons
  • unreliable
