Shoes are one of the most important pieces that tie an outfit together. Although there are many styles out there, only a few are the safest for seniors. Picking out the correct shoe is an important step in preventing a dangerous fall.

As a senior, these are the features you should look for when picking out the proper shoe:

  • Laces or Velcro. Seniors should not wear slip-on shoes or slippers. Slip-on shoes are unstable. They can slip off and cause a fall.
  • Wide heels. The shoes should have wide heels so there is complete contact made with the floor at all times. High heels are unsteady and increase the chance of twisting an ankle.
  • Textured sole. The sole of the shoe should have texture to create the most grip.

Styles such as sneakers, oxfords, boots, or Mary Janes are all good options for seniors. The best part about these styles is that they are both safe and comfortable.
