I recently saw a 10yo boy who 7 years ago had the 2nd toes and extensor tendon to the 2nd toes, removed from both feet to construct a thumb and finger for his hand following an accident.

The surgery has scarred the dorsum of his feet. He can wear Crocs and Dunlop Volleys without any problems but standard leather school shoes and joggers irritate the scarred skin .
He is allowed to wear the Crocs and Volleys to school because of the skin problem but he develops foot pain when being active , ie school sports which he wants to participate in.
A more supportive shoe is my first thought for reducing the foot pain.
I tried different lacing styles with his current joggers to try to reduce/eliminate irritation to the scar tissue with no luck.
Has anyone else ever encountered this problem. I was thinking of trying the Cica- gel product on the area as it is a red slightly raised scar.
If any one has any ideas ,suggestions for padding materials or has used the Cica please let me know .
Cheers Jill
