I drew my Aunt Betty for Secret Santa. It's not really a secret as she told me what she wants - a walking shoe. She is a bit unstable however and walks with a cane so I"m afraid to get her a super tall shoe for stability reasons.
She's an artist and very much into looks - she wants Orange or Pink.
but would that be too unstable? What do you think?
Recommendations?
just stick to one thread for now buddy ;)
Ghost Max. Very stable with wide foot plant. Firm but a plenty of cushioning. Low drop so the shoe won't tilt your grandma too forward. Surprisingly great shoes.
Sketchers slip ons. Good shoes for old people. Ez to put on.

Rojo, there's a reason why gymnasts, Kung Fu Masters and others for whom balance is of upmost importance wear shoes with almost no soles. You buy shoes for their intended utility. Perhaps driving shoes might be better? Or maybe Google "best walking shoes for seniors"
You're not going to buy Aunt Betty soccer cleats are you? Why entertain buying running shoes that are intended for extreme humans who run marathons at 4:30 pace?
Merry Christmas.
Pretty big fan here of the Ghost for walking for all ages.
Son of a B. I wanted my secret Santa to be Wejo. I've always loved him more than Rojo.

Just got my father a pair and he loves them. Wide base, not tippy, great traction, no sholaces.

These aren't orange and pink, but have some artistic flair to them:
Get her these shoes and then paint them:
Another good option:
