[Preservation] Introduction of manufacturers of shoes that are easy to wear for people with disabilities

Recently, I have been introducing a lot of wheelchair-related topics, but now and then I would like to talk about something a little different.

Where do you usually buy shoes?

Many of you may be thinking, “I want to wear fashionable shoes that are easy to wear even if I have a disability! I am sure that many of you are thinking, “I want to wear shoes that are comfortable and fashionable even if I have a disability.

We would be very grateful if we could get information from people with disabilities who actually ride wheelchairs about what kind of shoe stores they purchased their shoes from.

Why introduce shoes?

In this article, I will introduce the manufacturer of the shoes worn by people with disabilities in wheelchairs. The reason why the topic of “shoes” came up is because of the past WHILL Model article I posted earlier,

●WHILL’s electric wheelchair about the range and battery charging time.

●[Complete Guide] An in-depth look at the advantages and disadvantages of WHILL’s electric wheelchairs!

I’m wearing shoes when I’m on the WHILL and he was interested in those shoes, and then he introduced our blog among his followers, and some of them were wondering what kind of shoes I wear when I’m on the WHILL, so I’ll introduce them to you.

Do you have a shoe problem?

I am wondering what manufacturers of shoes people with disabilities in wheelchairs buy.

I am curious too, and I couldn’t find shoes that were easy to wear and in the right size for me. I was really struggling.

When I get a smaller size, the width of the side of the shoe is too tight and I feel pain if I keep wearing the shoes.

And if I wear shoes with high heels, I feel even more pain.

For these reasons, I am having trouble wearing shoes.

So, I have been looking at several shoe stores where I used to buy my shoes: ！！！！

I will blog about the shoe store and what kind of shoes I wore, with pictures, etc.

ASBee

The shoe store there carries various brands of shoes from various manufacturers.

The greatest feature of their shoes is that they do not get tired even after wearing them for a long time.

Specifically,

Gently Fit

The low rebound type has high shock absorption and sinks along the shape of the sole, gently wrapping the foot.

Firm Assist

The high resilience type supports walking with the force of kicking off the ground generated by its high resilience.

Double Support

Combination of low resilience and high resilience material makes the insole easy to walk on.

I was the one who was invited to one of the photo shoot events so I was in fashionable clothes and shoes.

A fashion model, huh~ lol.

These shoes fit my feet perfectly and were comfortable to wear with little fatigue.

These are my favorite shoes that I liked that I could match with any outfit.

They are not the exact same size product as the shoes I wore at WHILL, but they were very similar, so I will introduce them to you.

You won’t find these in your local store, but if you’ve been looking for smaller or larger sizes online, this is good news! This item is a pair of pumps that are as comfortable as a pair of sneakers.

What a surprise, there were ~shoe sizes starting at 21cm.

How did the shoes in need come into being?

The birth of shoes in need was triggered by the actual experience of the earthquake disaster. Enabling long-distance walking in times of emergency.
Pumps with thin soles and little cushioning had a problem that made them easy to get tired after wearing for a long time.

They developed sneaker-like pumps with the goal of “pumps that can be walked 20 km,” based on the needs of women who wanted “fashionable pumps that can be walked comfortably even in an emergency.

So even if people with disabilities want something like this to be made, I wonder if it would be difficult to make something easy to wear without demand from many people.

However, I think it was very good that such a trigger led to the creation of these pumps, in the sense that they became easy to wear for everyone.

I am glad that a small inconvenient trigger became an opportunity to develop them.

summary

Did you also get to know “shoe” manufacturers who have a wide range of shoe sizes?

The reasons for their birth vary, but when I think that they were developed by various people with the idea of making inconvenient points more convenient, it makes me happy to see that they have made it easier for people with disabilities to wear them.

I don’t think shoes this easy to wear were available a few decades ago. It was one of the aspects that made me feel that times have changed.

I hope everyone will try to choose the perfect “shoes” for themselves.
