30 Days of Autism Acceptance: 29
April 29th: How do you feel about shoes? Are they good sensory? Bad sensory? Are there certain types of shoes that you find more or less comfortable? Do you struggle with replacing shoes when they’re worn out?
I’m very functional when it comes to shoes. Shoes should be worn outside, not inside. I have wide feet, so it’s hard to find shoes that fit. Once I find a pair of shoes I like, I’ll wear them until they fall apart, and even then I’ll try to fix or patch them to get by.
I currently have four pairs of shoes: a pair of black cheap Doc Martens that I’ve had for years and have had resoled once which I wear in the winter; a pair of nondescript black shoes; a pair of grey Velcro sneakers that I got at Kmart years ago and managed to replace once but now that Kmart is gone I don’t know what will happen when they disintegrate; and a pair of cheap sandals.
