Okay guys I have NEVER recommended anything here other than books and hashtag not sponsored BUT. I just got my Nike Go FlyEase shoes and they are a disability GAME CHANGER for me.
[img desc: a person steps onto an odd looking sneaker which is folded partially in half. the shoe closes around their foot as they step down]
They are a funky little shoe that literally FOLDS in such a manner that they can be put on and off entirely without your hands; you can just step in and out of them.
The history of them is actually very interesting; the FlyEase line was always designed with disability in mind (the first one was inspired by a teenager with cerebral palsy, Matthew Walzer). They’ve been a thing for years but they never had one that particularly stood out to me amongst other similar shoes… until the Go.
You see, along with being someone who has only a few bends in me per day before it’s all over, I’m also a fall risk. Like a comical fall risk. I’ve fallen into traffic. I will just roll over and die at a moment’s notice. And most slide on shoes are unstable and slip around on your foot. This shoe clamps onto me like a goddamn vice. It’s Got Me. It’s also got good arch support which is like, a plus. By freeing up a bunch of bend-overs per day, this is going to leave me with a lot more ability and energy, especially on the bad days.
They sound too good to be true (I was VERY skeptical buying them despite the video review), but seriously, you can just step into them–and out of them by stepping on that chonky back heel there. God knows I’m not the only person with difficulty sliding on heels or tying laces in the world, so I thought I would be remiss if I didn’t recommend them. If you think they might help you out, they probably WOULD, as they were recommended to me by Footless Jo, an amputee YouTuber, and as mentioned, were inspired in part by people with disabilities ranging from cerebral palsy to past strokes.
They’re Pricey but ultimately average when it comes to Nice Shoes™, the ones I got were $125.
I’d like to add that shoes like these are adaptive clothing products and very important to the disabled community.

Here are 2 more well known adaptive shoe companies:

Kizik
Kizik: The World's Best Hands-Free, Slip On Shoes
Kizik: The easiest shoe you'll ever put on. No tying, no pulling, no heel crushing, no hands. Never bend down to put on shoes again. Free sh

Kikiz is the company that developed this specific tech! Nike opted to fund them rather than buy them out, in part because a lot of their workers were old Nike employees.

You know what I want? Culture clashes between the pokemon regions.
Someone from Unova travels to Kanto/Johto wearing a t-shirt with a big R on the chest. They get dirty looks for it and have no idea what’s going on.
A Kalosian meets someone from Sinnoh and keeps standing too close to them. The Sinnoh native keeps stepping back uncomfortably, but the Kalosian keeps stepping closer.
Someone from Johto goes to Unova and ????EVERYTHING IS SO BIG=????
A Hoennian meets up with a Kalosian and the Kalosian goes for cheek kisses while the Hoennian goes for a gentle head butt.
people from johto visiting sinnoh get pulled aside by police because they don’t know that keeping your pokemon outside its pokeball outside of amity square is illegal
trainers from kanto and johto wondering why the game corner doesn’t give out pokemon as prizes
kanto trainers expecting to be given a bunch of rocks for playing in the sinnoh safari zone and instead finding out that you’re supposed to throw mud at pokemon
“what the fuck are you doing” “i’m slathering honey all over this tree to attract wild pokemon to it” “why don’t you just fucking headbutt it you dumb shit” “e-excuse me what”
a lot of discourse on the proper way to plant berries (“just plant them in the ground it’s not difficult” “yes okay but have you heard of berry pots” “do you just plant them wherever? why would you do that just get your own berry orchard” “I CAN ONLY PLANT BERRIES IN MY DREAMS”)
kalos trainers getting really confused when they take their clefairy to kanto and it’s getting its ass handed to it by fighting-types
unova/kalos trainers getting really fucking sick of foreigners trying to eat their vanillite
Hoennites going to Sinnoh and not realizing how COLD it is and they’re freezing the whole time but everyone else is just sorta used to it
Conversely, Sinnohians going to Hoenn and not realizing how hot it is and they don’t have any warm-weather gear so they’re sweltering the whole time
Cyclists from Kanto Johto Hoenn and Sinnoh wondering where the hell Cycling Road is. Where is it.
A Hoennite bragging that someone from Rustboro city found out how to resurrect Pokemon, only to be shot down by a Kantoian who says that some guy on Cinnabar Island figured out how to do it YEARS ago
People from Unova and Hoenn coming to Kanto and Johto and getting really really frustrated because HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MOVE THIS SNORLAX and thinking the locals are pulling their leg when they tell them to play the Pokeflute for it.
Johtoians having to patiently explain to foreigners that slowpoketails aren’t a delicacy, but are, in fact, VERY illegal.
People from most regions getting really intimidated by Goldenrod City and how weird and dirty some of the city is, but Unovans feel right at home.

Hearing that a shady local witch business in Salem stayed afloat throughout covid by overcharging for zoom funeral rites and mediumship readings is absolutely disgusting. Especially when they brag about surviving the pandemic and talk about how other businesses without skilled psychics went under. Like all the locals know it has nothing to do with psychic talent and everything to do with your shady practices.
If you’re planning on coming to salem avoid the following shops (from a local who’s family use to know these people personally):
1) crow haven corner- owned by one of the most toxic persons in salem. Just Google her name and salem news and you find public assault records and more.
2) omen and hex - the owner once publicly wished r**e on a woman for giving him a bad review. He even doxed her and wished her stalker finds her.
3) Covens cottage - they’re neo-n*zis. There’s a vice article out about it. All the locals know it. They’re awful, don’t go here.
