Why is it not possible to buy just one shoe either left or right is this discriminating against disabled people.
It is incredible the amount of Patients I have seen on a recent visit to our hospital who for one reason or another have lost a Leg.

You can't buy a single sock, or trousers with one leg either.

I suspect there'd be no call for them. Most people with one foot would probably have a prosthetic limb anyway, so they'd still want a pair of shoes.

LUDGIW If you buy several pairs of socks they will fit either foot obviously any colour ar no need for the matching rule as for Trousers 2/3rds of the trouser are still useful ,a Pair of shoes slightly different situation also many people either choose or cannot manage with a prosthetic limb. Next.
