Do you wear them when you're in your chair or just that night?  Right now
I'm wearing the sheepskin booties at night and some large sports shoes
(almost like hiking boots) during the times I am in my wheelchair.

Re: [QUAD-L] Cold? I would suggest these!

I look for most anything to keep warm on those few days when it is terrible
here.  I really feel for many of you who live in areas where it gets
extremely cold.  I feel awful when it gets below 68° outside.  Last week we
had about three days they were pretty rough and some of my outdoor plants
didn't make it through the freeze.  Today it's back up to 83° and now I need
to worry about making sure I don't come down with a cold because of the huge
variation between temperatures.

I'm not complaining.  Believe me, it's wonderful riding around in my shorts
today, especially knowing that in three or four days I'll probably be
bundled back up again.
Take care everyone and stay warm.

They're not exactly as slippery as most slippers that we all are aware of.
But they are not rubberized either.  They're kind of in between.  I also put
my feet on the floor during a transfer but someone is helping me so it is
not something I would have to worry about

The only thing I worry about when purchasing any type of shoe... is how much
pressure it can put on any part of my foot or heel.

For those of you who are out there in states that are bitter cold (I see it is 
barely in the teens in Chicago today) or get cold in the house like I do even 
though I live in southern Arizona... I'd like to make a suggestion.



 


My husband bought these for me for Christmas.  He found them the least 
expensive on eBay.  They're perfect for gals or guys!


 


Prior to nine years ago... fashion was very important to me and I would not be 
caught dead in sweatpants or anything other than nice jeans, nice shoes, 
matching this and that, etc. etc. etc..  But then warmth, necessity and age 
allowed me to change my wardrobe somewhat.



 


In 1997 my feet and ankles began swelling like the sizes of big potatoes.  I 
had to stop wearing tennis shoes and turned to other shoes so I would not get 
pressure because of my fat feet not fitting in anything.  Further... it seemed 
as time goes on... the colder I would get very easily.



 


Anyway... I wanted to attest that the following Tempur-Pedic Foot Comforters 
are very, very nice!  I have been wearing sandals of some sort over the last 
seven years and in the winter time I put socks or colored stockings on and then 
the sandals.



 


At first I thought that they would look too big or out of place but they are 
actually pretty stylish.  The ones that I have are very dark navy blue (that I 
can only tell when I put them on with my black pants) and are so plush that I 
just put my bare feet into them.



 


Also... a sore that I have had for many months has JUST healed although it is 
still a little pink.  Since it is my husband would have to deal with the 
repercussions of the sore coming back...HE WOULD NOT EVEN ATEMPT OR ALLOW me to 
wear these.  But since I am wearing them... that is how soft they are and 
rather pressure less (since absolutely no pressure is the only solution to get 
rid of a sore).



 


So if anyone is interested in keeping their feet warm (which will help warm you 
all over)... check out the following product:


http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=120196407260&ssPageName=STRK:MEWN:IT&ih=002#ebayphotohosting



 


Shipping and handling is free within the United States and this is the best 
price we could find on the product.  NO... I am not the seller!


Just trying to help somebody out who easily gets cold.  It is sunny and 64° 
here today but chilly in the shade and the same temperature as always in the 
house.  But I love my new foot comforters despite that!
