Hi All,
I am looking for recommendation where can I buy sport trainers with velcro closing.
My mum survive few strokes, her right hand is still paralysed. She can't tie her shoes any more. Please can you advise me about sport trainers brands for disable people. Thanks you.

Hi @iza
Cosyfeet are probably the biggest UK supplier of shoes aimed specifically at disabled people: https://www.cosyfeet.com/ however I can't readily see that they include a sports shoe with velcro closing in their range.
In terms of general mass market women's velcro trainers I found searching Amazon.co.uk for "womens velcro trainers" gave several options: https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_2_10?url=search-alias=shoes&field-keywords=womens+velcro+trainers&sprefix=womens+vel,shoes,148&crid=2JLUTRKUZR4I6
It might also be worth consider 'no tie laces' http://amzn.eu/d/8vAdqDa
Spring laces https://www.uksmobility.co.uk/dressing-comfort/dressing-aids/spring-laces-pair
Elastic laces http://amzn.eu/d/9Y759qc
Also here is some general information about footwear from DFG: https://www.dlf.org.uk/factsheets/footwear
Hope this helps
Best wishes
