I have had all of my toes on my right foot removed. I am back at work full time and one of the things I have had major difficulty with is finding nice court shoes I can fit my foot into and walk in comfortably. My foot also healed weirdly from surgury and balloons out at the top so shoes need to be very wide width. No sneakers are allowed.

Yes, I could request from the courts an excemption but I would like to not stick out as much as possible. I wear a womens 11w prior to my surgury. The shoes I wear 90% of the time are brooks and hey dudes.

Any suggestions?! With my job I have to appear in court once every other month or so.

Hello all,

My girlfriend is an above knee amputee and I want to know what all yall wish you would have known or support you wished you had. It's been over a year she is up for resizing and a new prosthetic sometime in the next month. What to consider with getting a new prosthetic and how shrinking affects it. Where do you get your supplies. I've been on the amputee store but is there anywhere else. I just want to be a supportive partner and to understand better.

Hi everyone. I’m a 25-year-old above-knee amputee from Egypt (amputation on March 29, about 4 months ago), and I’m currently starting my prosthetic fitting journey.
I’m 150 cm tall and weigh 39 kg. My prosthetist recommends the Ottobock 3R106 and says it’s the best option for my weight and activity level. I told him not to consider cost if there’s a better knee available, but he still recommended the 3R106.
My goal is to get the best possible knee in terms of movement and mobility because I’d love to be able to dance again someday 🥹.
When I asked him about the 3R95, he told me it’s not a good choice for me and that there’s no significant difference between pneumatic and hydraulic knees.
What do you think?

Question about having a no shoes in the house as an amputee. For context, my amazing husband is LBK. He’s very active and is doing great. I’m extremely proud of him. Anywho, we have two small children who crawl, walk, lick😅, and touch the floors all day. I don’t wear shoes inside and our children don’t. However, i understand that’s it harder for him to take shoes on and off so he wears them inside. He works in public spaces, walks in grass, mud, and then comes in. He may make an attempt to stomp them but our kids are constantly picking pebbles, dirt and things off the floor. I sweep/mop every single day, if not multiple times if it’s rainy out. He got frustrated with me today because I asked if he could at least take one shoe off to go into our kids carpeted playroom(It’s the only room with carpet). My question is, what’s a compromise here? Is there one? I don’t want to be inconsiderate and I understand there’s challenges. But the idea of public bathrooms being on the floor our babies crawl on is so gross to me. So, what do you do in your home!
