They are a trainer (or sneaker) that can be put on hands free.
How does it work?
The shoe is made up of two parts (front and back) that are connected by a band in the middle. The shoe bends as the foot enters and then flicks back up at the heel without the need to tie laces or pull the shoe onto the foot. It is fashionable and doesn't look 'medical'.
Why is it needed?
There are many people who have motor issues and struggle to put on shoes with laces or velcro straps or even just to bend down to place on a slip-on shoe . This is the answer to all of these problems because the wearer can put the shoe on without any effort.
How does it improve life?
The shoe itself is very aesthetically pleasing but, importantly, it is an easy-to-put-on trainer that functions perfectly without falling off. It makes it much easier for those who have reduced or no motor function to put on shoes.
