👟 Seniors: A Simple Step for Safer Steps 👟

Falls are a leading cause of injury and disability in older adults — but many are preventable. One small change can make a big difference: Double-knot your shoelaces.

Yes, really. Loose or untied laces are a hidden hazard that can trip you up—literally. Tripping over shoelaces may seem minor, but for adults 65 and older, falls result in over 3 million ER visits a year in the U.S. alone, according to the CDC.

🔗 That’s one trip to the store that could turn into a trip to the hospital.

Take a moment each morning:
✅ Choose supportive, non-slip shoes
✅ Double-knot your laces for all-day security
✅ Stay confident on your feet

Your safety starts at the ground level — literally.
