Propet shoes

Hi all I have a patient who has lymphedema, which is resolving, but still shoes are problematic. In addition we need to be able to attach a stirrup and a metal brace for her to do some limited walking in the home and community. She can wear Pedors however I am concerned about the strength of the sole. Has anyone any experience with the propet line carried by Branier? They have a lycra style and I wondered about the toe box compared to Pedors. Also if anyone has any other ideas I'm willing to listen. We have fit her with Cro boots in the past bilaterally because she had a right ankle fracture and a left foot ulcer. However that has resolved and she really wants to get out of Cro Boots because her balance in them is not good. She could not wear Apex lycra shoes, we need something more giving or a deeper toe box. Thank you very much, Paula Martinek, LPO
