My adult son can not grip with his toes or control any muscles in his right foot. He walks by swinging his hip which sends regular slippers flying. In planning a trip to Japan, I am hoping to buy a pair of indoor sandals to take with us that might be seen as acceptable at hotels, restaurants and hopefully even temples. Something with a strap across the heel or a bootie of some sort. Does anybody know of a brand or website that sells something that might be acceptable? Should it have a soft rubber sole or a cloth one? Should he wear the special slipper only on his impaired foot and the establishment provided slipper on the other foot or stick to his own set? If bringing his own slipper will not be seen favorably should he just wear a clean extra sock or a neoprene footie over his sock on the affected foot? What do stroke victims in Japan do in this situation?
