FitFlops

Hi. I have Lymphoedema in the lower leg. Is it OK to wear FitFlops? Thanks

Shouldn't be any problem. Many of my clients find this brand very comfortable. If, however, you find you are unstable (stumbling) then it may be advisable to investigate other brands, with more protection of the foot.

I’ve lived in FitFlops for years but their closed toe rather than open toe styles. They have loads of summer (and winter styles) that do not expose the toes which are a vulnerable part of our feet. (After 2 episodes of leg Cellulitis I’m not willing to risk my toes to getting scratched, bumped, stepped on etc.) If you do wear open toe shoes it’s advisable to wear compression foot/toe caps for additional protection if your LE is in your lower limbs.

FitFlops are extremely comfortable for lymphie feet/legs although pricey. They do have fairly frequent sales, and a first time purchase 20% discount when you sign up to their email list.
