Mobility friendly shoes are designed for people with mobility issues, foot problems from injury, or pain caused by diabetes, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and more. Most are sneakers, but there are also boots for rainy or snowy weather, dress shoes, and sandals. They’re highly comfortable, often come in plenty of color options, and don’t just benefit older adults or those with disabilities — the ease of slipping them on and off is convenient for anyone.
