It's either me or his home health aide that puts his shoes on or takes him off. One thing that we have found that we really like is instead of shoes with regular laces, we get shoes that use Velcro instead. My hubby has also liked shoes that have a zipper.
Another possibility would be those stretchy 'easy laces'-- I think that's what they're called, but I'm not sure. I know they sell them at our local medical supply stores.
So, you're not alone in this.
Hope that helped!!

I wear those kind of shoes too with the velcro. But I still can't get them on because the back of them go inside when I put my feet in them and I can't it the back out. So my Mom or my Dad puts them on on weekends. During the week I put on slippers with my sock puller. But they are not to good when i walk cause they go to the sides cause they don't have any support in them.
I can see that I'm not alone in this.
What kind of CP does your husband have? Where are you from?.
That's ok if you don't know the answer about shaving legs. But thanks for replying to my posting. Appreciate that.
God bless you,
