Day 6 of EB awareness week

Today is day 6 of EB awareness week; I’m going to try to explain why it is hard to find foot wear for people with EB. For most of you, you can just walk in to a store and find foot wear and then walk right back out. Will for people with EB finding foot wear is hard as sometime with EB we get sore/blisters on are feet and have bandages on are feet also. To find shoes to fix are feet is hard. For me when I go looking for foot wear I have to make sure they are wide and are easy to get on and off, and am able to stretch it open to get my foot in when my feet are sore. When trying any new shoes on I know for a fact it will cause my feet to break down for a week or 2 after once my foot is use to my new shoes then I’m find. Also when I switch form shoes to winter boot my feet have to get use to the switching of foot wear. Some time some people with EB cannot wear any shoes they are too painful or too hard to get on and they end up wearing slippers. What I have found that works for me is Crocs slippers, and sandals. This summer I got a pair of sandals form crocs and I have to say I wish I knew about them years ago. This would be the first summer I was able to wear sandals and they did not bug my feet. Also don’t forget to go to my Fundraising page and donate and you will get your name put in to a draw to have a chance to win this crochet butterfly blanket. Please feel free to share this with your family and friends and social media. #debracanada #ebweek
