Velcro
I can’t tie things like shoe laces. The fine motor skills just aren’t there. I can tie shoe laces but they won’t be tight and that’s a pretty important part of wearing shoes. I now have slip on sneakers and I just love that them.
Before slip ons my mother suggested Velcro shoes. For a child Velcro is okay but totally not when you’re an adult. I would have done anything to avoid Velcro. It’s fine but really not for me. I couldn’t imagine Velcro sneakers. I wasn’t willing to go there but something needed to change. I couldn’t have my mother tie my shoes forever.
The goal of therapy is independence and my slip ons are a step closer. Velcro. Sheesh. I’m only capitalizing the “v” because my iPad said I should and I have no desire to find out if it’s right or not. I’ll never wear Velcro shoes.
