These are the best adaptive and aging products of 2024 (2024)

The footwear brand of choice of our accessibility editor, Sarah Kovac, Kizik continues to impress with its truly hands-free slip-on shoe line. The new Brisbane from Kizik is, to no one’s surprise, another instant favorite.

It retains the cage-like heel structure of other shoes in the lineup. This structure allows the heel to bounce back into shape over and over without being too stiff. It’s what makes Kizik shoes stand out from the crowd.

The Brisbane keeps the great heel design and adds a new sense of style. With multiple color options in both suede and leather and a casual look, these shoes will mesh with just about any outfit.

We tested lots of OTC hearing aids this year, but, when it comes to new products, the Jabra Enhance Select 500 is the best. We love that these hearing aids offer Bluetooth streaming across both Android and iOS.

But, if you’re not a media junkie, you might appreciate having a hearing aid with a whopping 24 hours of battery life on a single charge. You’ll have to pay a premium price for the features, but at least the cost yields amazing results.

If you have a PlayStation 5, this is the most accessible controller you can buy. Unlike a standard remote, the Access Controller is a controller kit that allows users to customize the placement of every single button on the device by swapping simple magnetic attachments.

Intuitive software that’s built into every console helps all users make the most of Sony’s impressive games catalog.

Victoria’s Secret was one of a few big-name brands to enter the accessibility space over the past year, and we couldn’t be happier. Our reviewer loves these adaptive bras and panties for their sexy designs, functional magnetic closures, and simple, one-handed adjustment.

The buttons featured in this article only link to the bra, but the full review features links to the entire set in a wide range of colors and styles.

The Convaid Coaster stroller fills an important need for those who require mobility but may not have the ability or desire to push themselves. Expanding upon the feature set that made the previous model Convaid Cruiser so popular, we appreciated its successor for its ultra-smooth ride and maximum adjustability for growth.

Its optional accessories, like a full-coverage sun canopy, make this already stellar stroller even better.

Lego has been a bastion of creativity for decades. In late 2023, the legendary company expanded its educational offering to include teaching basic Braille skills to people ages 6 and up.

The Braille Bricks feature letters and numbers printed on each brick, with the proper Braille alphabet signal arranged in the brick’s studs. This product stood out thanks to its obvious universal appeal and unique digital collection of games.

Trimming your nails is one of the most notoriously difficult tasks for the elderly and disabled. The Harac Adaptive Nail Trimmers make that task easier thanks to its large ergonomic handle and sharp blades.

These clippers can even lie flat for tabletop use. Place your finger or toe under the blade, give the tool a light squeeze, and you’ll be off to the races. This winner is a personal favorite of our senior accessibility editor.
