I wear hose and crocks and remind myself to turn my feet -- was
getting a pressure sore on the side of my left foot from it laying on
the side of foot rest
went back to strapping feet in boots at night for a few nights
I am having a terrible time with pressures sores on my feet. I am
interested in hearing what kind of shoes those of you who have to
use wheelchairs are wearing. My problem is my left foot turns inward
and lays on my footrest on its left side. And that's where the
pressure sore is located on the ball of my foot just behind my
little toe. My wife just bought me a pair of ankle high boots which
hopefully will tend to keep my foot straight with the ankle support.
I have been wearing regular tennis shoes. I would be interested in
what others are doing for shoes. The podiatrist put me in one of the
boots with velcro they use when you have foot surgery. Because it
has high ankle support it has tended to keep my foot
straighter...Cody in Austin
