I don’t think we were ever aware of them after we got them on. It was putting on and taking off that required a little skill - LOL. I have a bad back now and I doubt I could even get into them. I have trouble bending over to put on socks (which I wear when cold weather comes) or cut my own toenails..
I hear ya! About three years ago I started to go to a salon for pedicures — which I hate, but are necessary now. Too many aches and pains now.
