If only that PIP assessor could experience the pain that I have in my feet right now.
I've Just come in from work and my feet are agony. I have really thick. Orthotics which I have inside my running shoes. They do help a bit but the pain sets in after about 1.5 -2 hours of being on them. Then it gradually worsens.
The PIP assessor wrote in my report that I could walk for 2 hours before the pain started. Ha ha what a joke, I couldn't do that before i had bad feet.
I have a delema that in April 2020 I have to go to my nephew's wedding, I don't do socialising so that's a stress in itself but I can't for the life of me think what I'm going to wear on my feet. I can hardly wear a wedding outfit with a pair of running shoes now can I?
Any ideas what I can wear?
I just want to stay home.

Hi @VOB
Just wear whatever is comfortable no one is going to notice! I wear trainer type shoes to everything and wouldn't care if anyone thought they didn't go... they are comfy and I can walk in them, result!
All the best.

EmmaB that's the spirit, it is what it is. TBH without these running shoes I don't know what I'd do.
In all fairness if I wear the trainer's and it all gets to much I could always do a runner.

Exactly! And to be honest do you ever look at what other people are wearing on their feet... I know I don't. I think we can spedn too much time worrying about what other people think!Emma West

Hello @VOB.
I recommend this disability aids company. https://www.completecareshop.co.uk/.
I have used them in the past. Most of my son’s things were purchased on their website. I also ordered a child friendly work table for a disabled relative this summer from them. I am really impressed by the sheer variety of aids available. Why don’t you look? You can find what you need easily.
