Looking for shoes/equipment suggestions that will give maximum padding and protection to my ankles and knees.
I really want to skydive more, but I've had some long-term issues with my ankles and knees.
I'm thinking I want shoes with a whole ton of padding, and maybe some ankle braces and knee braces. Any suggestions of what specific brands/items would be best for this?
Also, when I tandem jumped I was able to just land sitting down because my instructor did the walking. Is a sitting landing possible in a solo-dive? Are there any other methods of landing that might be more easy on my ankles and knees?
