What Happens When You Don't Wear the Lift: Managing "Barefoot Time" at Home
Step Rite Shoe Lifts
Barefoot hours put the difference back, and many people feel it in the back or hip by evening. A lifted slipper for the house and a lifted sandal for warm months keep the correction on through the day.
What the body does in the barefoot hours
It goes back to the tilt. An evening in socks after a day in lifted shoes is an evening of the old walk, and the back knows by bedtime.
The house shoe
A slipper with a rubber outsole takes a lift. Birkenstock Boston clogs are the house shoe we lift most, followed by Orthofeet slippers. Connie Newsom ordered hers "to wear only in my house" after her first walking shoe came back.
Summer
Toe-post and strap sandals take the lift under the footbed. A hip patient on a joint replacement forum asked what to do for the summer months; a lifted sandal is the answer.
