any ideas ??? Karen
For years I wore Isotoners. They have either a rubber sole that is more of a sure-grip sole or a suede sole that has no treads. I had some recent experience with a pair of Isotoners that leads me to think the product isn't what it once was but I might have just had bad luck. It was recommended years ago in a newsletter for people with MS--and I tried them and liked them. They're machine washable too.

You can't exactly slip in and out of them though because they have elastic all around.

If you want something you don't have to reach down to put on, maybe scuffs with an "almost-heel"? I think they're called clogs--and most of them do have a corrugated or sure-grip sole but some have a smoother sole.

I've used them, and they don't grip your heel but you can slip in and out of them easily.
