How many of us are on a quest for comfortable shoes? Whether it is wide-fitting shoes, comfy sandals or cosy slippers, or made-to-measure shoes and orthotics for very difficult feet, the Footwear section is the place to look.
 
Functional clothing, such as hip protectors and mastectomy bras have a dedicated section.
 
If you need a bit of help with getting dressed, “Dressing Aids” has all sorts of helpful gadgets, including stocking aids, button hooks and long handled grooming aids.
