 Getting shoes or boots on a prosthetic foot is a little bit more challenging than it might seem. I don't think we realize how much we use the wiggling of our toes and the movement of our ankle to get in and out of shoes. So when faced with an obstacle, like this knock off Doc Martin's boot, this is how I get it on. Step number one, always put a sock on. It really helps with friction because this is pretty sticky rubber and we don't want any of that business when getting a shoe on. Step two, I loosen things as much as I can. Now, step three usually involves a shoe horn, but let's say I'm out some more and I don't have one of those. We use the muscle it until it works method. One of my personal favorites. So think back to moments when I've been lifting heavy things. I summon all my strength as an individual and I pull it till it gets on. Now, because I've done all that work, I'm not gonna take these boots off for at least four hours.
