The right shoes can mean the difference between a steady step and a slip. Encourage your loved one to wear footwear with non-slip soles that provide good support. Avoid slippers with smooth bottoms or walking around in socks, which can easily cause sliding. A comfortable pair of well-fitted shoes designed for stability can greatly reduce the risk of falls while also keeping feet comfortable during daily activities.
