I am an 80-year old pianist who has neuropathy. My problem is that I can't feel the pedals, so my foot slips off without my knowing it. This will probably end my playing unless I can find a solution for the problem, perhaps a shoe or shoe attachment that "locks" the foot to the pedal so it can't slip off. I'm sure this is not a unique problem, so I would be grateful to hear from others who have dealt successfully with this. I don't have any problems so far with pain.

I have utterly no music skills and so totally admire artists -- especially piano. I can relate; this is the precise reason I had to give up driving. Bit I also the same issue only with typing -- I'm a writer whose spend countless hours zooming along at 125 wpm, without looking at the keys. Now my hands wander from a low-voltage electric shock to totally numb, and heaven help me if the temperature is 68 or less. They freeze instantly, just like frostbite coming on. It's taken three years to get a clumsy functionality back, but soooo slow, soooo many typos, soooo much frustration!
