Habits
Supportive Footwear Fall-Prevention Habit
Supportive footwear habits use stable, well-fitted shoes with traction indoors and out—avoiding worn soles and loose slippers that raise slip risk.
A supportive footwear fall-prevention habit means stable, well-fitting shoes with low heel height and good traction for home and outdoor walks—not loose slippers or worn smooth soles. Replace shoes when tread is gone; tie laces or use secure closures.
Indoors, thin non-slip socks or dedicated house shoes beat sliding on tile in stockings.
Common questions
-
Are barefoot habits safer indoors?
For some people firm bare feet grip well; for others non-slip house shoes beat socks on tile. Choose what prevented your last near-fall and keep floors dry.
