(NewsWorthy.news) – President Joe Biden has been spotted wearing Hoka shoes, known for enhancing stability, fuelling commentary on social media in recent weeks and further speculation about the 81-year-old president’s health.
The Republican National Committee’s Research page suggested in a video post on X on March 17 that the president opted for the “lifestyle sneakers” to help him avoid stumbling so much. The model Biden has been seen wearing is reportedly the “Hoka Transport.” According to Inside Edition, the sneakers by Hoka are designed to provide optimum support while walking or hiking.
Doctors raised concerns in April 2023 that Biden was already showing signs of “cognitive impairment”. They suggested that if the president were to commit to another term in the White House, he might see further mental decline due to the stress of another presidency. The president is known already for a series of gaffes during his first term that include falling off his bike in Delaware and tripping up the steps of Air Force One.
Biden’s yearly physical exam showed that he is suffering from seven conditions. One of these is a heart condition that makes the muscle beat too quickly, causing confusion and dizziness. The president has also had two brain aneurysms. In February 2024 Biden’s doctor concluded that he is fit for duty coming up to the presidential election. Dr. Kevin O’Connor stated that there were no new concerns about the president’s health, describing him as “robust” and “active”.
As far back as 2021 Biden’s own doctors, while claiming the president is “healthy,” acknowledged that he has a “stiff gait”. Surveys indicate that 46% of Democrats are concerned about the president’s age, with only 35% of voters saying that Biden is physically fit enough for another term in the White House and 34% believing he is mentally fit enough. Following his stumbling on the stairs of Air Force One, the White House shortened the steps for the president. In his report, O’Connor reiterated that Biden suffers from peripheral neuropathy, a condition caused by nerve damage that results in weakness or pain in the feet.
