According to a New York Post report, eighty-one-year-old Joe Biden’s shoes are going viral — and getting roasted — after his handlers at the White House outfitted Joe with footwear to prevent falls.
“Biden’s handlers are forcing him to wear a new pair of ‘lifestyle sneakers’ because he trips so much,” reads a tweet from RNC Research on Saturday, referring to Biden’s new shoes.
From The New York Post:
Observers have likened the shoes to “boat anchors” and “piers,” but the “Inside Edition” report attached to the tweet revealed that the president’s new shoes are actually “lifestyle sneakers” that are made by the shoe brand Hoka.
The “Inside Edition” report notes that the shoes are “designed for maximum comfort and support while walking or hiking.”
Biden’s specific shoe is called the “Hoka Transport,” the report said, a shoe that has a “wide sole” that is “no doubt great for stability.”
The report notes that the president “does have a history of stumbling” but that the shoe is “quite comfortable” and feels like “walking on air.”
“The shoe bears the seal of approval from the American Podiatric Association for being beneficial to foot health,” the report said, noting Biden’s physical last month revealed that the president suffers from sensory peripheral neuropathy in his feet.
“Peripheral neuropathy refers to damage to nerves,” said Dr. Gabrelle Laurenti, a podiatrist interviewed for the report. “Whether it’s from trauma or a disease, there’s some kind of damage to nerves.”
