How to choosing the right compression boot for you?
Firstly, it's always advised to seek the opinion of a health practitioner prior to starting any pneumatic compression therapy, perhaps you can discuss the below compression boots in consult to ensure they are suitable for you.
Choosing the right compression boot is like finding the perfect pair of jeans—fit is everything. Start by measuring your legs at their most swollen to ensure a size that accommodates your worst-case scenario. Next, decide between a full boot (foot to thigh) or a half boot (foot to calf). The difference is depending on whether you need full comprehensive coverage (full boot) or just targeted lower leg relief (half boot).
Finally, weigh your options between Velcro and zip closures: Velcro is your go-to for easy on and off and adjustable fit, while zip boots offer a snug, secure compression that might make you feel like you’re wearing a custom-made leg-hugging suit. Choose wisely, and your "leggy boots will be your best investment in your lipoedema journey"
