Spinal Stenosis: Recommendations for slip on trainers

CountryMimi

Hi, I'll welcome anybody's recommendations, but seeing as I have Spinal Stenosis, I'd be particularly interested to hear from those who have / are aware of the condition.

I'm looking for some slip on trainers as putting on shoes can be particularly painful and with laces, it's even worse!

I've got quite wide feet and have tried a number of brands which haven't been a good fit. I've been told sketchers, but don't find them comfy enough.

Thank you 🙂

Highly recommend Nike's revolution and their flyease range. 
My husband has these and they are brilliant. Still get to wear on-trend trainers but no laces! The zip around the ankle is really good.

Oh brilliant! Thank you so much! Pre op I was actually wearing the laced versions of these and have always found them to be really comfortable!

Hello @CountryMimi

I don't know much about Spinal Stenosis, but my mum has arthritis and needs slip on shoes. She found some really comfy ones in New Look, and I wear ones by Vans that feel like slippers to me.

Thank you so much Hannah, that's really helpful!

I went to try on the flyease today and unfortunately I really struggled with them 😔 so still looking for other recommendations if anyone can help?

You are welcome @CountryMimi. It is the very least you deserve.

It sounds really difficult that you really struggled with trying on the flyease. Unfortunately, this is not an area of my expertise but I am hoping someone can respond soon and help.

In the meantime, I just wanted to respond to let you know I have heard you and seen your post. Take care for now and we will look forward to, hopefully, hearing from you again soon

Just to update, I found some of the most comfortable slip on trainers that I've ever worn! Adidas puremotion adapt - they're £33, originally £60 odd on Amazon at the minute
