Hi,

I have a patient (male, late 20s, spina bifida) recovering from bilateral hallux amputations. His impaired renal function caused oedema in his feet, which rubbed on his shoes and resulted in ulceration.
He step transfers only (otherwise mobilises via a wheelchair) and says he needs to wear basketball-style footwear to provide ankle support when transferring.
My ideal shoe would be high ankle cut/basketball–style with neoprene upper and Velcro straps.
Can anyone suggest an off-the-shelf shoe with the above features that would be worn by a 20-something-year-old? Also, would you issue a pair of customised EVA orthoses to accommodate the defect of the amputations?
Many thanks,
Lauren.
