Episode 36: Shopping for Clothes and Shoes

In episode 36 of Beyond Labels & Limitations, John Graybill shares how shopping with Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy can be a struggle. When younger, stronger maybe not so difficult but what do you do when you're older and weaker and cannot get into dressing rooms? This is something John found challenging until him and his wife found a solution.  John also shares a bit too much on "Stack Height", "Toe Drop" and the "Weight" of a shoe but when you have a disease that effects your movements then all of these play a part in selecting the right shoe. New Balance Minimus with at most a 4mm toe drop is John's preferred show. But with fashion limiting this shoe, not by John's accord but rather the industry, the search for a new shoe is on and challenging.  As for pants, John found Duluth Trading Company's pants to be great. The pant is made from a stretchy material which helps "growing" into them as you get "bigger".  Good luck with your shopping! ______________________________ Connect with John: Subscribe on YouTube Website Email: [email protected] ______________________________ "Desire to Inspire" TKG
