Online shoe retailer Zappos, which is owned by Amazon, is making it possible for customers to purchase a single sandal, sneaker or shoe, as well as mixed-size pairs. This will be a welcome development for amputees who wear prosthetic devices and people who may have differently sized feet. Six brands – BILLY Footwear, Converse, New Balance, Nike, PLAE and Stride Rite – will be available for single shoe purchases.
OUR TAKE: This is a welcome development for amputees, who will no longer be forced to buy extra shoes for which there is no use. Now, if only salons and spas would get on board with this thinking to provide discounts to amputees on manicures and pedicures!
