My choice of footwear (an imposed choice between two) is either
hospital-made shoes or trainers - I choose trainers - with extra padding to
the sole added by the hospital. My legs swell, and don't look good, so
they're covered by trousers always (my legs haven't seen daylight in 11
years), and I wear cotton trainer socks which finish level with the top of
the trainers, because they cause the least amount of interference with
circulation and are cool in summer.
I used to wear a skirt with bright red trainers (if you have no choice,
flaunt them), but now I find trousers most comfortable both physically and
psychologically. And yes, they do have an elesticated waist - sign of
getting old when comfort takes precedent over everything.
What I used to suffer for the sake of fashion!!!!!!!
