Sloppy Slippers
Sloppy Slippers
According to the University Hospitals of Leicester, 24,000 over-65s in the UK fall over at home, every year, because of poorly fitting footwear. Most of these falls are caused by wearing ‘sloppy’ slippers’ – poorly structured and ill-fitting slippers.
Loose, worn, or backless slippers can increase the risk of slips, trips and falls in adults within our communities. This type of footwear can cause poor balance and gait, and make it difficult for people to stay steady on their feet.
However, help is at hand. This year, NHS Somerset and SASP are running a scheme to equip adults in the county with properly fitting footwear.
Adults can attend a series of roadshows across the county to collect a new, free pair of slippers to help keep them warm and, importantly, steady on their feet. Partner organisations will also be in attendance to provide information and support.
