Slippers

Sometimes when buying footwear vanity takes the center stage rather than comfort. But when the slippers are being bought for the elderly and disabled then utmost care is required to make the right kind of selection. Recent studies show that slippers are responsible for about forty percent of all slips, injuries and falls. So, wearing slippers that do not provide adequate grounding can be dangerous for the elderly and disabled.

That is the reason why one should take extra care while purchasing slippers for the elderly and disabled. It is vital to know about the various factors that must be considered before buying slippers for such people. In case you are interested in buying moccasin based slippers for any such person then here are some tips that can help you in making an appropriate selection.

Moccasin slippers have always been considered as comfortable, cozy house shoes. The key rule is to observe the bottom of moccasin based slippers. In case the base material of the slippers is the same as the material used for making top and sides of the shoes then these slippers will not make a good choice for the individual who is disabled or elderly. In case the bottom is made of some other material but is quite smooth, then also the slippers are better placed placed back on the shelves. You require slippers with a non-slip sole in order to minimize the risk of slipping over smooth surfaces. 

Slippers with relatively thick base are the finest choice as these slippers will allow the disabled or elderly to walk and stand in a more balanced manner. Slippers with thicker soles provide a better control factor and give confidence to the wearer. These days, finding slippers that have been specially designed for disabled and elderly is not at all a problem.
