Amputees

If the Shoe Fits… Zappos Now Selling Single Shoes for Amputees

September 25, 2020 by John Morris

Shoe boxes on the shelves at a shoe store.

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.
