Slipping of chappals could be due to peripheral neuropathy, if he is diabetic and on metformin , it induses periferal neuropathy due to lack of vitamin B 12, meet physician and have treatment plan for him. Preferably ask him to wear floater, so his foot muscle need not work to much to hold it and it will minimise changes of any fall....
