Hello all I'm a 38 yr old Spina Bifida patient that was on braces and crutches until age 13 when I had major scoliosis surgery and after that for convenience went to a wheelchair and been doing fine in one ever since... Except for one thing. Because of my clubbed feet I have to wear high top shoes, which are bulky and heavy as tennis shoes for someone that gets little to no leg exercise, and as dressier shoes all I can find are "work boots". So most of the last 10+ yrs. I've just gone with socks on, I've been wanting to find shoes for some time that look more like your average low top shoe, but still I guess grabs the back of my ankle so it stays put but have had no luck. The only idea I've had was to get shoes I like and and take them to a shoe repair place to have a strip of tough leather adder for the extra height but haven't found a place yet. Does anyone out there have any ideas either online shopping or off? Thanks to all in advance.
