Footwear
So anyone dealing with CECS will tell you that footwear can be key in helping you to to manage this without surgery
Like i said before been dealing with this for 20 years.
So as far as shoes goes. What I have found is the lighter the better. If you have a speciality shoes store that make customize shoe you can see if they have heard of the conditions and can make you a pair that comfortable sometime you can get your insurance to cover it if you can get a doc to write a script.
But if you plan to buy off the rack because of the cost
I gave up on really wearing boots. If i put on anything like boots or steel toes i only wear for a short period of time because it doesn't take long for my shin to start burning.
You even have to be smart about slide the issue with them is yes they are light weight but if they don't have enough padding or sole than you again can put alot of additional pressure on your shin and calfs.
So footware goes a very long way in helping you to manage.
You should also think about sock. yes sock. They will now help you a lot and may even hinder you if your legs start to swell if they are to tight on your feet .
