Require footwear retailers to set fair prices for disabled people

The Government should require retailers to offer single shoes/trainers etc at half the price that a pair would cost, and to allow the purchase of two different sized shoes at the same cost as a regular pair. This should ensure that disabled people including amputees are not financially penalised.

My daughter is a partial foot amputee. Her shoe choices are already very restricted, and some of her shoes need to be bought as mismatched sizes. Very few retailers do same cost as a pair schemes, and only a few do a discounted second pair scheme. Most retailers charge full price for two pairs, so that we can make a single pair to use. Amputees who require only one shoe still have to pay for a full pair for their use.
