Velcro

Velcro has many uses when you only have one hand .  Clothes and anything you need to be able to separate and put back together.  It can be found all sorts of places.  I have purchased it at Amazon,  Michaels or any kind of craft store.

Cord Stops

The cord stop works great with one hand.  I use it on my sweat pants and anything that has a drawstring.    You can find it at Amazon and at craft stores.




Shoe Lace

Tying shoes one-handed is a challenge. I found two ways to get around it. 

1.  Yankz Sure Lace System - You can also get these at Amazon or at any running store.
 
The Yankz shoelaces are very handy, but they do cost some money. 

2.  I found a way to tie my shoes one-handed, and this method works with regular shoelaces. Click the link to learn how (One Handed Shoelace Knot) and watch me in my video.



Another tip is velcro closings.  There are lots of shoes with velcro closings, I use them for casual wear,    but they aren't good for my feet.  I have supination in my ankle so, I wear shoes that are lateral posted to decrease the supination.  Running shoes are the best and the good ones have shoe laces.  This is why I found a way to be able to wear shoes that are good for my feet.  Your feet may be different, and velcro closings might be a good solution.
