I have a patient with elephantiasis who cannot wear normal shoes given that her ankle circumference is somewhere in the neighborhood of 23-24 inches and falls almost all the way to the floor. I am NOT going to make her custom shoes: That would be a disaster before it even begins. She has successfully worn slippers in the past, but needs something with a little arch support. Does anyone know of an orthopedic slipper that stays low around the ankle and heel? Thank You!!!!
