According to the British Lymphoedema Society, Lymphoedema affects approximately around 430,000 people in the UK alone. The condition causes swelling in the body’s tissues, which usually develops in the arms or legs, and can affect all ages. For this year's Lymphoedema Awareness Week, we have put together some of our most popular products which are designed to accommodate feet that are swollen, sensitive or misshapen.
A great choice if your feet are swollen, sensitive or misshapen. This wide fitting style has a deep and roomy toe area with added elastane stretch, it accommodates and supports many foot conditions. The touch-fastening strap provides an adaptable fit whilst the padded collar adds additional comfort to the ankle.
This ultra-adjustable, extra wide fitting shoe fits a variety of tricky feet. Made on our deepest last, it’s very generous across the front, so ideal if you need extra room for bunions or problem toes. Opening right out, it’s easy to put on, even if you’re bandaged or very swollen across your foot. The underfoot cushioning and seam-free lining makes it bliss for sensitive feet.
Designed to fit the most difficult or swollen feet, this versatile, wrap-around slipper has a touch-fastening strap at the back of the foot as well as across the top so it’s fully adjustable. It opens out completely flat, so it’s exceptionally easy to put on and can be ‘rolled’ up around the foot to give you a snug and secure fit.
Featuring two touch-fastening straps, across the front and around the back, Ernest is really easy to put on as it opens out completely flat and can then be ‘rolled up’ around the foot to give a snug and secure fit. The deep, seam-free front accommodates swelling, bandaging, bunions and problem toes with ease while the cushioned footbed adds to the comfort.
