Reply To: Use of orthosis on tatami floors
Heather is correct, l found having a medical reason l could not take my shoes off on Taman flooring snd other cultural sites was quickly resolved by shoes socks, like they use in hospital operating theatres . 10 years ago when we were last in Japan l had a calipher and could not walk with it. I had got a Japanese friend to write out the situation for me in Japanese but l only used the letter once, the remainder of times the curators could not do enough to assist. Later on when travelling in Asian countries l took some with me so l had my own supply of “ socks”
