President Joe Biden was spotted wearing new shoes that have been identified as “Sketchers slip-ons without socks.” This adjustment comes after Biden has fallen at least 8 times since taking office in 2020. Seven instances happened in public and one instance occurred at his home after a shower.
Social media was sent into a frenzy as Biden wears the shoes on a number of occasions, including more formal moments while wearing a dress blazer. “Can we talk about Joe’s new shoes?” one person asked. “Is he going to wear them everywhere? Why does he need these sneakers all of a sudden?”
The Sketchers Ultra-Flex 3.0 slip-on shoes will presumably help frail Biden stay on his feet. He’s been seen wearing them almost everywhere, including the beach. (Trending: Trump Indicted Again On Criminal Charges)

At 80, Biden is the oldest president in U.S. history. Reporters also notice that Biden has started using the smaller 14-step staircase to board Air Force One by entering through the belly of the plane. This started after Biden took a hard fall at the graduation ceremony of the Air Force Academy in Colorado.
In February 2021, Biden tripped while boarding Air Force One as he prepared to depart for a trip to Europe. He stumbled again just one month later in March 2021 while walking up the stairs of Air Force One to depart for a trip to South Carolina.
Biden tripped in June 2021 while walking down the stairs of Air Force One to depart for a trip to Europe. In August 2021, Biden tripped while walking up the stairs of Air Force One as he prepared to depart for a trip to New York City. (Trending: Texas GOP Openly Declares Biden an Illegitimate President)

He tripped again in October 2021 (walking down the steps) and again in February 2022 (walking up Air Force One steps).
Staircases aren’t Biden’s fiercest opponent as he appears to face even greater struggles in the mental arena. A poll from NBC found that the majority of Americans (68%) believe Biden does not have the mental and physical health to serve as president.
The poll also found that a staggering 43 percent of Democrats believe Biden is not mentally and physically healthy to serve as president. This concern among Democrats has doubled since 2020. Prior to 2020, just one in five Democrats were concerned about Biden’s mental acuity.

NBC found that 89% of Republicans agree that Biden does not have the cognitive or physicial abilities to be president.
Biden will be 82 years old in 2024 and claims he will seek re-election as the nominee of the Democratic Party. Given Biden’s long history of physical and mental struggles, it remains unclear whether the Democrat Party will rally behind him and win the White House.
some top Democrats have privately been saying for months that they’re nervous about Biden tripping again on the trail. Today he did—>
