Lymphodema in one leg only

[DebiMcC]

Hi I have lymphodema in right leg only - so my legs and feet are different sizes and width. Varies from 20-55% difference- depending on what's been occurring as they say

I really struggle getting shoes to fit and haven't worn boots for several years.

I was reading previous post and noticed several websites that sell wider fit footwear

Probably a daft question but does anyone know anywhere you can get different width shoes /boots without buying two pairs ?

Also any advice on lymphodema being classed as a disability in UK and what the means would be helpful

Thanks

If you go back through posts on this forum, someone else posted the question about whether or not Lymphodema is classed as a disability.may be worth going back through and having a look, good luck x

I also have lymphoedema in right leg and struggle with buying footwear. Unfortunately I always end up buying two pairs in different sizes to accommodate my big foot. I've never found boots to fit. Shoe shopping is a nightmare and often leaves me in tears. I feel for you.

I have LE in both legs -since birth- I've found Shoe Tailor/JD Williams online are great for wide fittings including boots which are done in various wide curvy fittings but not different widths in1 pair I'm afraid.

Hi Dotty11

Thanks for your post, me too. I used to love shoes and find it shoe shopping really upsetting

All the best to you X

Maybe try search.oddshoefinder.com or have a look on google or eBay etc . Sometimes you can be lucky and pick up odd sizes in shoes .

Me too I have lymphedema in my right leg. I had already 3 operations since child and when I was 28. But it always go back to bigger size. Now I found a theraphist in my area. And it got little smaller. Now I'm wearing stockings all the time. I never wear skirt or dress in public for o am bit shy about my leg. Does anyone of you here feel the same feelings?
