Brace Direct Post Op Shoe for Broken Toe, Stress Fracture & Surgery L3260

I found out last week that I have a stress fracture in my left foot, and the doctor gave me a different version of this kind of shoe/brace. I ordered this one because I wanted a clean one for inside the house and one for when I go out. I actually like this one much better than the one the doctor’s office gave me because it has a slight rocker bottom as opposed to the other one, which has a completely flat bottom. This Amazon one is also a bit shorter which is perfect because it extends about 1/2 inch past my toes as opposed to about an inch on the other one, which makes walking even more awkward. The Amazon one is also a lot lighter. Much better and more comfortable to wear all around while still keeping my toes stable and as still as possible. The velcro also seems very strong and durable, but hopefully I won’t have to wear this for very long. For reference, I wear a women’s size 7.5 shoe and ordered this in a women’s medium which is perfect.

This is the third surgical shoe I tried and while there are parts of it that I'm not fond of, the pros so out weigh the cons because it is miles above other shoes. The key feature is that, unlike other ones that claim it, this one actually has a rocker bottom. You don't notice the difference as much when you're taking a few steps here or there, but if you actually want to walk in it the ability to roll from heel through the foot to the toe makes you actually able to have a real gait. No it won't be as if you were wearing two regular shoes but the pace and lack of wobbling (from uneven legs and one not moving as the other) is such an improvement that people don't tend to notice I have the shoe on. Other shoes that claim to have rocker bottoms genuinely did not, or at least not nearly to this degree. Now the bottom is all hard plastic which makes it a little slippery and scratchy on some surfaces, though I have not slipped at all. Also heaven forbid you get a little bit of dust or gravel on your shoe and you are making scratchy sounds everywhere you go. I bought two of these because I wasn't sure which size and the one was deformed on the sole of the shoe. It's supposed to be completely flat but it had a large bump in it that would render it completely unusable to anyone recovering from a foot injury. I'll assume that was a one-off and didn't remove any stars because of it. It's worth noting it is slightly cushier than other shoes but still firm. Also, because it has a genuine rocker bottom, it is a little taller than other shoes. However it's still not tall enough that I can use the evenup on my other foot even on the lowest setting. I do notice the height difference, but whereas with the other shoes I started getting hip pain in my good leg, with this one, because I can roll off the foot so smoothly, there isn't as much jostling or downward motion onto my good leg so I don't get nearly as much hip pain even though the height difference is slightly greater. The sizing surprised me, I wear a women's size 8, 8 and 1/2 if I need extra width, and my toe goes to the very end of the women's medium. I should be wearing the large, but that's the one that came with a deformity so I went with the medium because my injury is not to my big toe so I did not think there was too much risk. Every other shoe I've tried on I've been a size medium or even small with plenty of room to spare, so these definitely do size smaller than others but per the size chart. But if you're close to the top of the range or in between sizes, definitely size up.

This is a good shoe at the right price for a healing foot. Size is weird so I ordered small (I am a wide footed women's size 7). I probably could have ordered the next size up but I’m happy that I got the small so it is less noticeable with my black sandals (it is summer). My toes are about a half inch from the edge. If you had toe surgery definitely get the medium! It’s comfortable enough (I shouldn’t be walking much anyway). It keeps my foot safe. It is affordable. You can cut the Velcro if it is too long and the straps are adjustable. I had to cut them down a bit. Don’t lose the middle Velcro fasteners!!

This is sturdy and VERY easy to get foot in and out of. The hard plastic surround is very well made, the inner foam is dense enough to support but soft enough to "give". I would 100% recommend this product. Only issue I had was sizing. I wear a woman's size 10.5 in normal shoes. The Women's Large (8.5-10.5) for this shoe/boot had my toe at the very edge of the shoe/boot. There was not enough room to make my injured foot to feel like it was protected enough. So I ordered a Men's Large (9.5-11) and it works very well. Have worn it for a few months now and it is not broken down. Impressive.

Omg yesss! Dr told me to order berkenstick sandals so i did that hurt me more an thru off my body an gate so i ordered this shoe and my life was so much better. Could walk correctly on both feet it takes the pressure off the ball of tour foot where the pain was. Amen . For this product recommendation for anyone needing help with foot or roe fractures.

I hyperextended my right second toe after hitting it with a steel bathroom door. It was so painful that I thought I broke it. When I went to have it checked the doctor said I would need to be in a walking boot for a month. Luckily, I already had one. I bought this walking shoe thinking it might be more comfortable than my boot. I was wrong. I read the reviews and based on other reviews I bought a small. I am a woman’s true 6 1/2 in shoes. My big toe hangs ever so lightly past the square edge. If you are a 6 1/2 go up to medium especially if your injury evolves your big toe. The shoe has a slightly rocking bottom shape and held with 3 pieces of Velcro. Very, very cheap but you get what you paid for. The Velcro connecting strips are not even sewn on. They are just 3M strips. Compared to my ankle walking boot, there is none. I have worn this shoe around the house for only a short amount of time since my boot is way more comfortable even though way more bulky. I doubt I would recommend this shoe. Especially if you have an option of the ankle walking boot. I use mine only when I need to wash the inside of my lining of my waking boot and have no choice. If you are going to have to wear something like this for very long, invest in a better one.

I broke my toe and this shoe works amazing. It has definitely been helping so I am not in as much pain as I probably should be. Thank you for this awesome contraption.

This shoe is great. The one I received from the hospital broke within the first couple of weeks. This shoe has held up to all my walking.

Very well constructed and did the job for my broken toe on my right foot.

Only one piece , such detail not mentioned in the description , i returned back the shipment

Arrived Fast. Fits a Women's size 10 perfectly. Bought to help stabilize a broken pinky toe. I have used it for a few days now and find that it is working and is comfortable. It's light weight and easy to put on.

للعلم الحذاء يجي فردة واحدة فقط لازم تطلب فردتين اذا تبغى اثنين

Great quality and sturdy comfortable shoe
