HEY PEEPS WITH FEET PROBLEMS

i've worn prescription orthotics for almost 20 years now, and i just discovered that the brand Revere makes SANDALS WITH REMOVABLE FOOTBEDS DESIGNED FOR ORTHOTICS, AFOS, AND BRACES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND THEY'RE ACTUALLY STYLISH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Revere Sandals

Slide into style without sacrificing support. The Revere Sandals collection blends elevated design with thoughtful ergonomics so your feet f

IMPORTANT NOTE: not every pair has the removable footbed, and i haven't found a way to sort by that on the website. but if you look at the More Detail tab under the product description it'll say "Removable footbed to insert custom orthotics, AFO's and braces"

disclamer: i haven't tried them yet, but i'll be getting a pair for my birthday. i have been searching for years for sandals that i can wear orthotics with and i've never found any, so i'm beyond excited to try these out

I’m performing my standup about my experience with disability tonight at a local dispensary/ theater space. I’m so excited and so so so nervous so please send vibes my way (good or bad (I prefer good)) and yeah I currently feel deeply ill so I smoked some weed about it and am doing my makeup and picking my outfit and I’m for sure going to wear my AFOs over tights and a dress because fuck it I want to be visibly disabled and funny and cool and fucking hot.

Got curious about the Crip Time I've got going on when it comes to putting shoes with traditional AFOs, so I decided to time how long it took me to go from bare socks to shoes. First time was with the AFOs and the second time was without.

Here were the results:

With AFOs was exactly 1 minute 19.64 seconds

Without AFOs it took 8.87 seconds

Same shoes, and tried to go at the same pace

I'm not great at math, but I do know that is more than 3 times as long ?? Just to put on shoes, mind you. So if you're seeing this and you're able-bodied, please be understanding when disabled people are running late. This doesn't even account for things going wrong (like AFO malfunctions or sudden flare up of motor issues).

And here are screenshots from the stopwatch, though not necessary since I placed the times above. Just in case you wanted to see them idk
