Sue Shearer
Sue is 66 years old and has been working in further education for 41 years. She has been at the University of Creative
Arts for over 21 years, and as a teacher has spent a lot of her life on her feet.
Suffering with diabetes Sue has to take a lot of care of her feet, and prefers to be barefoot as much as possible. Because
of her diabetes she now suffers from a condition called sensory neuropathy; a long term complication caused by her
diabetes, meaning loss of all feeling in her feet.
When it comes to shoes it always has to be black suede - her favourite, the soft look.
