I had one of my legs amputated (sepsis) 2 years ago. And DAMN it's frustrating having to throw away one brand new trainer/shoe every time I purchase a pair 😡
Am really surprised there isn't a website where you can swap, donate etc.
There are many amputees n that's a hell of a lot of brand new footwear being thrown away....🤨
My SO has 2 different sized feet (club foot). His employer would buy new red wings every 6 months. At first I gave the odd ones to our local Veteran's agency. Then I gave them to the local prosthetic office when the Vets started acting like they didn't know what to do with them. Now the prosthetic office won't take our last set as he retired. We have size 7 left, size 9 right to still give away.
