I couldn't agree more- proper shoes always make a great gift, especially since 90% of Americans are wearing the wrong size shoe! And if women can't resist high heels, its best to stick with a low heel- you can often fit an orthotic in heels lower than 3 inches (which can be a lifesaver for the mom on the go!) And with recent technology, 'orthopedic' shoes are becoming more stylish than ever. It's never too late to give your feet the attention they deserve ;) ..and don't forget, with fitness shoes, its always safe to go up a 1/2 size when you wear athletic socks. It gives that extra 'wiggle room' that your toes desperately need!

Lots of Skechers have velcro and come in cute styles. I got my mom some for Christmas. She has arthritis so laces are doable, but time-consuming. She liked the Skechers so much, we went back and got another pair a few weeks later, and I think she just recently got another pair while out shopping with Dad. And no, I don't work for the company!
where can you find velcro shoes anymore?
