Dr. Mireille Blanchette, a board-certified podiatrist based in New Jersey, recommended this lace-up Skechers sneaker because of its comfort and the fact that it’s machine washable to help prevent bacteria buildup.
“Elders can sometimes develop foot fungus because they might not always be able to clean well between the toes and that can create a great environment for fungus,” she said.
The shoe is designed with a pull tab on the back to make it easier to put on and take off, and is lined in breathable fabric to promote air circulation. It comes in multiple colors and in women’s sizes 5–12 and men’s sizes 7–15, both with wide options available.
Promising review: “Bought these shoes for my mom. She needed something with good support that was energizing and helped with footing and movement. These shoes did the job. Her footing, posture and movement have improved tremendously. I bought them for her because I own a pair and have excellent wear with them.” —Mom
Get them from Zappos for $65 (available in women’s sizes 5–11 and six colors) and $79.95 (available in men’s sizes 7–15 and two colors).
