Offloading Post-Op Shoe

This boot is comfortable to walk in, but one must keep the foot flat and not rock off the toe, as that negates the reason for the boot. I had severe OA of the right big toe, which then caused a neuropathic ulcer on the bottom surface. That was eventually operated on, and I've worn this boot for several months now---since it is on my right foot, driving is impossible, but when I do drive, I carry this with me and get put it on before I get out of the car.

Greatly assisted my wife who had two severely sprained toes. The shoe prevented lots of pressure on the injured area. Good quality materials used to make the use of the shoe easy on and off. Highly recommended. The medium size fit perfectly for my wife's size 8.

This is an excellent orthopedic shoe/brace. I bought it for my 4- badly broken toes & other injuries to the foot that did not require a hard cast. I wanted something a bit less restrictive than my full calf boot as my healing progressed. I began using the shoe at 10-days and found it to be lighter, cooler, just as functional as the larger boot, and definitely more comfortable for walking. Straps can be easily trimmed. CONS: Though the food bed is lightly padded, but it was NOT cushioned enough for my foot, so I added an insole which was perfect. The padded flaps that go over the top of the foot do not have a velcro closure, which is a bit awkward when trying to close & secure them, and then slip the velcro straps through their loops to secure the shoe. The ankle strap secures with a velcro strap, but can be a little loose if you have a narrow heal. The shoe did not slip so much that I developed a blister, nor did it come close to completely slipping off my heal & foot.

Does the job.

Was able to keep weight off the toes, was easier to walk with a thicker shoe or sandal on the other foot.

This boot is the key in allowing my toe to heal!

The boot was helpful, and I think the way they do the bottom, so that the shoe pivots instead of your foot bending is actually quite clever. But I think that the foam should be a little bit harder/stiffer. After a couple of weeks of use it started to bend in the middle. This actually put pressure right on the area of the fifth metatarsal fracture that I am trying to heal. So as the foam got softer, the boot got less helpful. I’m sure it’s great for broken toes as advertised. If you’re dealing with a metatarsal issue however, look elsewhere.

I broke two toes ughhh and was in chronic pain bearing any weight on them , googled this boot and was in two minds as reviews were mixed . As they would deliver it overnight I took a chance ! Glad I did !! What a relief!! Foot fits snugly with the Velcro straps and walking now is not a pain, I do feel like Frankenstein walking ! But at least I’m not in pain ! For the money totally worth it . I’m a klutz so probably will get more use out of it at some point haha !
