Love that the innovation preventing the tongue from sliding into the shoe. Not all shows have that these days!
It’s a big timesaver for sure. I’m very lucky that I have a friend that’s a seamstress so she’s able to make those adaptations for me easily. But it’s something that you can get a cobbler to do, or if you have somebody that has a sewing machine that could do it or you could also do it by hand. You just have to make sure that you have a stronger thread so it’s able to hold. I will check, but I’m sure there’s some TH-cam videos on it. Or you could take a look at having some shoes that I already have that set up. Just the little things that make our life a little bit easier with no hand function😊
I have also adapted some of my zip up sweaters and jackets in a similar way, which I will eventually make a video about.
Thanks for the feedback! Glad it’s helping🥰💙
@@QuadLife101 Do you have any feeling or movement in your feet? Just curious!
Feeling yes I do. Hard to explain but I can feel the initial touch. So if I ran into a wall I could feel that I hit something, but wouldn't know if I'm still touching it after I've hit it. Hope that makes sense? I also can't feel pain or temperature below my level of injury.
In terms of motor movement, no I do not have any that I can control. Just spasms that makes my legs move but I can't be controlled them. They’re come from reflexes that lack the inhibition connection coming from the brain connecting down to my legs. Hope this answers your question?
good job
Thank you! Hope it helps ✌🏻💙
great method - good for a stretch right? do you were dress shoes? how does that work for you?
Great little stretching technique, shooting two birds with one stone.😉
I do, some dressy sandals in the summer going to weddings or dressy events. Otherwise you can pick dress shoes or other foot wear with a hard back, those are easier to slide on. I would wear socks with those type of shoes to protect your skin. I usually adapt shoes with a soft backing with those leather straps to be able to put them on. With footwear with a hard back are easier to slide on usually. If they have laces I would play with the looseness of it to see if you can put them on by yourself so they’re not too tight. A lot of it is trial and error. Hope this helps! 🥰
@@QuadLife101 thanks so much for such a detailed reply - very useful 👍😉 Every girl needs a cute pair of shoes right? 💖
