So recently I have been putting baby socks on my walker over the skis to protect my hardwood floors. The socks would come off on carpeting several times every day. I learned that if I turned the skis outward some, the socks stay on. I am happy.

Good tip.. I have found that liquid latex is very useful for 'brushing' onto the soles of my crochet slippers.

Another possible help suggestion, I wear a Bluetooth & it allows me to move around more freely. Before, if someone called me & I was using my walker I had to stop walking to answer the phone.
