How can i choose a shoe for best leg and foot support?

Depends: Depends on the diagnosis. If u have ankle instability or has foot drop, then a high cut shoe is better for better ankle support.

Couple of things: You want a shoe that has a good arch support built into it or buy an over the counter support to help it. For maximum support try a high top shoe that goes over the ankle. Timberland hiking boots do great.
