Looking for Knitted Slipper Patterns
Comments (5)Definitely join Ravelry. There are dozens of forums and thousands of patterns and nice people like on KT. I just knitted some fun slippers called Fuzzy Feet, pattern available free on Ravelry. If you have never felted anything, it's really fun. You knit a pair of giant socks in wool that felts. Then you wash them in hot water until they have felted down to the size you want. I wanted to post a picture for you but Photobucket is giving me trouble....See MoreFoot wear suggestions needed
Comments (31)Great recommendations - but I so agree with Joanieponie about going to a walking store to try shoes on. In fact, I think Joanie started another thread and that was my suggestion. What works for one person may not work for you. Someone above suggested Puma. I have those shoes; loved them before this recent bout of PF - but even before, don't think I could have walked extensively in them. I went to a store that sells only walking-type shoes, Birks, Naot, Clarks, Keen, etc. I tried on many, many shoes, including Finn Comfort, which are supposed to be the ultimate. I found them too heavy. In another thread, someone said they didn't like Olukai or Vionic. I bought four pairs of shoes, Olukai (the leather thong), Vionic, Aetrex and Naot. I love them all. I love all of them; they are all suitable for different occasions. I do love Naot and will probably get more of those for the fall as, although, the Naot are closed-toe, the others are all sandals. Everyone is different. I agree with those above - I am not a tennis shoe person, except for walking or going to the gym. But there are so many other options out there. Good luck!!...See MoreDoes anyone have Mahabis slippers?
Comments (11)I have them! DH bought them for me, and at first I thought he was a little crazy. But I really like them. They're cozy warm and you can wear them in the house, to walk outside to get the newspaper or mail.... I am not sure if I would wear them to drive, but I'd wear them for a short walk outside and definitely around the house or porch. I would say they run a little small, but they stretched out a little bit with wear....See MoreAnyone With RA? Slipper Question
Comments (22)maifleur01 "Something to ask her about is the amount of pain when she bends or straightens her ankles and feet." Great point. For a couple hours after she wakes up she's walking on her heels because joints are stiff and it hurts to flex her ankles. I hadn't thought of flex restriction and was focused on keeping ankle joints warm. We'll start with slides and see how she does. Thank you for pointing this out! CindyMac "I have psoriatic arthritis." The rheumatologist found high RA factor & antibodies but said he can't test in same way for psoriatic but same treatment would apply. She developed psoriasis after her first autoimmune attack which was on her kidneys after simple viral infection. I know both types of arthritis can be concurrent but she doesn't want to hear about more things to deal with so I have to tread lightly which isn't in my overprotective DNA. Nephrologist in hospital said the attack on her kidneys was aggressive so we had to get biopsy and 2nd opinion with very narrow specialist quickly which confirmed 3 autoimmune conditions/effects & she had to go 9-12 months on 1x month chemo, steroids and a couple other things I can't remember now. She lost 25% kidney function so I'm always on the lookout for any change in her behavior or habits because her particular autoimmune condition can pop up in any organ. I'll always be the hypervigilant aunt. Boy, one can think it's limited in numbers but once you experience it in your own family it seems like you meet so many people with RA and other autoimmune conditions. Sorry so many of you suffer this pain....See More- 9 years agolast modified: 9 years agocaflowerluver thanked rhizo_1 (North AL) zone 7
