Hi Martin, I know what you mean! Fortunately we have just gone into Summer so I am in shorts all the time, although I do have the same problem with shorts that are bit longer in the leg. from what I have seen here in NZ most guys seem to wear a loose fitting trouser. The limb centre here suggests a zip or velcro strip in the back of the trouser or jeans, I have not as yet seen anyone who actually does it.

I sew zippers on the inseam of my jeans. A zipper for a coat works good. Strong enough not to come apart. Seems to work well. Good luck. I'm sure you'll come up with something that works for you.

Hello Martin,

My wife and I had thought about this recently for the same reasons you stated. As others have stated we have thinking of using either a long zipper or a piece of velcro along the seam. Have heard from my prostetisist that either works.

Happy Holidays to you too.

My wife sews 24 inch zippers into the inseam of my pants. If you can not do it most dry cleaners have seamstreass who will do it for a reasonable cost.

Hi Martin,
I guess I didn't realize the issue--I usually wear just one sock a day, unless I have been doing a bit of walking. Then, I just go into the closest bathroom or office, where I can drop my pants and change the sock. I am lifelong amputee, so maybe I am looking at this diffently from you. Jay
