## Caption

For many years, Silverts had a team of staff who would visit long term care facilities. It became obvious from these visits and the stories we would hear just how many people suffered from slips and falls due to improper footwear. 

We also learned that when people were searching for specific clothing needs, especially for people living with disabilities, shoes were often bottom of the list. 

We knew we had to change that ☑️

We also began to understand the very real challenges of people living with disabilities experienced when it came to getting dressed and putting on shoes. In some cases, people would leave their home without any shoes on at all. 

We knew we had to do something. 

In 2005, Silverts moved into adaptive footwear to serve the needs that were missing in this market. However, we weren’t satisfied with the quality and functions of solutions that we found in the existing footwear marketplace. And so, we designed and created our own adaptive footwear line. 

Since then, Silverts has proudly sold millions of pairs of adaptive footwear and now even have a variety of styles approved for Medicare reimbursement. 

It is because of you, this amazing community, that we knew we had to step it up. We hope you have been able to live more easily and comfortably with a pair of Silverts shoes. 

Thank you for always opening up to us and letting us know how we can better help you and your family. Because that is what it is all about. Family. Life. Joy.
