Reply To: wearing leg braces and shoes inside
Wow, great answers @schroth-sensei – thank you.
Yes Judy, the majority of places do not require removing shoes. However, when they do, as mentioned above they are often accommodating. I had my tires wiped many times and even had little plastic booties put over my shoes (which don’t touch the ground!).
If you are still concerned, you could always by shoe covers to take with you as well: https://amzn.to/3geM7iJ
