Welcome to NeuroTalk:

Those of us on PN often have shoe issues.

If you want to wear lace up shoes, there are curly laces that once you put thru the holes, stretch.

example:

I have white ones I found at Famous Footwear.
I lace them every other hole, because of my high instep, and then I can just slip my foot into an "already laced shoe".
These laces are targeting kids, but we, adults can use them too.
Hope this helps!

I also have various pickers, reachers to get to areas where I cannot bend. Some large BBQ tongs work for some things, and
Home Depot has this nice strong picker:

Amazon has a health section with many physical aids listed.
There may be a picker there for you too, to get to things dropped or whatever. I use the strong pickers at Home Depot for my gardening tasks, because I have problems bending over now.

My cats are very attached to my various pickers. They know I will play with them when I get my picker out! LOL
