None, that is what conditioning is for. If he has an interference problem,
then some type of interference boot may be called for. Boots and wraps can
cause more problems than they solve, e.g. grit rubbing the leg raw under
the wrap. If you can get by without legwear, and it sounds like you can,
then don't use any.
