BraceAbility Closed Toe Medical Walking Shoe - Lightweight Broken Toe Cast Boot, Fractured Foot Brace for Metatarsal Stress Fracture, Post-op Bunion, Hammertoe Surgery Recovery - For Men or Women (L)

As advertised! Perfect after a toe procedure. The boot allowed me to walk and feel comfortable that my toe was protected. The shoe covering is soft on top which was perfect. The strap near the ankle was very long and the strap around the foot was provide plenty of room to be as tight or loose as needed.

I purchased two of these due to edema. They're great! The top-opening design and ample space make them easy to put on and take off. My caregiver also mentioned that the material feels very durable and the inside is soft and comfortable. I really like the look of the squared toe. I've actually received compliments on them! Finding a shoe that fits well *and* has good quality material is a great value.

I really wanted to give it 5 stars but I ordered a second boot about 10 days after the first, same size, I duplicated the order. The new boot was different, it fit different. And it opened the opposite direction as the other boot. There’s no left or right option so what gives? A few final thoughts: it’s actually quite comfortable. Had I not found it I’m not sure I would have ever used anything at all. The one the doctor gave me was about as useless as they come. This boot makes it easy to get in and out of and therefore keeps me using it. The sizing is odd. The boot says I should be a large but I’m an established 11.5 and this boot is still a little loose. So I’d say it runs large. The boot is super durable. I’ve spread yards and yards of gravel and spent the last two days walking on a roof and climbing a ladder. The boot has served its purpose fully. I’m not out running a marathon but I’m sure not sitting around feeling bad for myself either. When I go out where there will be a lot of people I wear another sock and then wrap it lightly in Coban. It helps me fill out the boot a bit more thereby securing my foot in the boot. Less of a tripping hazard and less chance of the foot moving around when it gets bumped or stepped on. The boot really is a life changer. P.s. boot maker people, maybe make a super duper high end version that laces up and offers a bit more protection but maintains the rigidity for healing. Think of it as work/public vs. running to the mailbox. I’d pay for that immediately. $2/day for 6 weeks? Worth it!

Let me tell you - when I got hit with a nasty gout flare-up that left me barely able to walk, this shoe was an absolute lifesaver. I'm so glad I found it and want to share my experience in case you're dealing with something similar. The best thing about this shoe is how easy it is to get on when your foot is killing you. You know how awful it is trying to jam a swollen foot into a regular shoe? Well, this one opens up completely so you can literally just place your foot straight down into it. No squeezing, no painful pulling - just gentle contact. Then you can adjust the Velcro straps to get the perfect fit for however swollen your foot happens to be that day. What really impressed me: - The bottom is super sturdy (won't bend at all) but still somehow manages to be soft against your foot - Your whole foot sits inside, so if you accidentally bump into something, you've got decent protection - It's surprisingly lightweight - I can even sleep with it (I just keep that foot outside the covers and wear a sock with it) - While it's obviously a medical shoe, it doesn't look completely awful when worn with a black shoe on the other foot A couple things to know: - Don't expect any waterproofing - it's definitely not meant for rain or the shower - On the plus side, though, your foot can actually breathe in it pretty well I've been wearing this out and about during my recovery, and it's been exactly what I needed. If you're dealing with foot pain, swelling, or post-surgery recovery and need something that won't make you want to cry every time you put it on, I'd definitely recommend giving this a try. It's been a game-changer for me.

I hurt my big toe so I wanted a boot with a hard cover over the big toe but this boot does not have that. It is very comfortable however.

My 16 year old is in a walking boot after fracturing the 3rd metatarsal. I bought this shoe for him to use at the beach and in the water on two week long trips. It was a huge success. He was able to get in the ocean although he didn't go too deep as it was a pain to get out but he was able to use it in wave pools and on water slides. He said it's very comfortable. It made a difficult situation much easier. Technically it's not supposed to go in the water but it's held up beautifully. We brought a shoe dryer to ensure it completely dried in between uses.

I bought this medical walking shoe as a transition from a walking boot to my own shoes after fracturing my the fifth metatarsal of my right foot. I used this medical shoe instead of the boot as I was weaning from medical footwear to my own shoes. It provided support and protection to the bottom of my foot to drive and walk with confidence outside. The top is soft, so do not expect the same overall foot support of a regular shoe. This is like wearing a slipper with a firm rocker bottom. The heel has some firmness to it, but not as much as a regular shoe. I found that if I fastened the foot straps then tried to slip this shoe on like a regular shoe, the heel collapsed on itself. Leave the foot strap unfastened, slip your foot in, then fasten foot and ankle straps. I recommend walking inside to get the feel of the foot before walking on uneven surfaces outside. I used a cane to walk with this shoe until I got used to the feel of it. I wear a size 10 women's shoe which is the large in this shoe according to the size chart. After reading the complaints regarding the extra length and bulk in the size large from another reviewer who wears a size 10, I ordered both the medium and the large. The medium was just barely big enough. My toes were at the end, which was ok for comfort, but if I hit anything with the front of the shoe, my toe could have been injured. I preferred the size large for my size 10 womens foot for several reasons: 1. Yes, the shoe seemed long and little wide for my foot, but this extra room over the medium gave my foot protection if I bumped it. The extra length did not interfere with my ability to drive. This shoe does feel different to drive, so practice in a light traffic area at first before going into heavy traffic or on a highway. 2. The shoe top was a little wide, so I overlapped the flaps going over the top of my foot (see image). Instead of feeling bulky, it felt like it cushioned my foot more. 3. The large was slightly taller than the medium. This extra height in the ankle allowed me to snug the strap tighter which made the shoe feel more secure on my foot with less heel slipping when walking. Don't cut the ankle strap!! I used the suggestion from another reviewer on how to adjust the strap to fit snugly without cutting it. Here is how to shorten the strap without cutting it. Notice that one side of the strap is smooth and the other side is fuzzy. One end is double sided velcro loop squares and the other end is single side loop square. Thread the double side strap end through one strap loop so that the fuzzy side faces away from the shoe. Fold the fuzzy side over on itself, bringing the single loop end to stick to the opposite end of the fuzzy side next to the double sided loop square. Leaving the ends stuck together with the double side loop squares exposed, thread the Velcro loop end of the folded strap (ends stuck together) through the loop on the shoe tongue and then through the other strap loop. Reference the picture of the unfastened shoe. Place the shoe on your foot, then pull the folded strap across your foot snuggly to fasten. By leaving the strap intact as purchased, you can then adjust the strap length as needed by moving the single loop end along the fuzzy strap side to your desired length.

OK so I got these last week and I do really like them. I wear a 10.5W shoe and I got a large size a which fit fairly well once I figured out the top strap secret. The injury I'm possibly dealing with is a torn Plantar Plate (not sure since it's taking me 6 weeks to get an ultra sound, Hopefully it will be healed by then) and progressing from a walking boot to this walking shoe. Anyway these are great for recovery of a foot injury, not ankle but foot. Walking on flat surfaces such as floors, sidewalks and highway surfaces these work great. Walking across uneven surfaces be VERY CAREFUL. I was walking across my uneven lawn and hit a slight divot and almost rolled my ankle, which would not do my foot injury any good. There is no ankle support and the foot slides a bit in the shoe due to the wide toe box and thin sides. When working outside I use a short medical walking boot to avoid the possible twisted ankle scenario. Also to the MANUFACTURE; This one complaint (reason for no 5 star) that I have with this shoe. It needs more of a rocker sole. This shoe has very little rocker and when your dealing with a foot injury that's required to be flat the flat sole makes you walk funny since your going from flat to tip of toe. Most shoes the toe box flexes curling the toe back rolling the foot forward whereas with this walking shoe it does not, which is what you want, no flex in the toe. A little rocker would make it a more natural walking motion. Any yes even as it is I would recommend this shoe to others that are in the final stages on a foot injury.
