Today however, manufacturers are putting in work to ensure they are fashionable and serve the purpose for which they are designed. Why should seniors wear them? It is only natural for energy levels to drop when we are getting older. A lot of senior’s experience pain from walking long distance in uncomfortable shoes, this is because as we grow older, we lose some of the fat protection around the feet and the feet press more firmly on the floor.
