Why are round cloth shoes called shoes for the elderly?

Round cloth shoes are called shoes for the elderly because they are soft and light, and support their feet, but they are called differently in each region.

Cloth shoes, as the name implies, are shoes made of cloth. Cloth shoes have a long history of more than 3,000 years in China. According to research, the earliest hand-made cloth shoes were those worn by the kneeling statues of Western Zhou warriors unearthed in Houma, Shanxi.
