BraceAbility Closed Toe Medical Walking Shoe - Lightweight Surgical Foot Protection Cast Boot with Adjustable Straps, Orthopedic Fracture Support, and Post Bunion or Hammertoe Surgery Brace (L)

It is very soft from upper part and doesn’t hold at all. Totally useless if you need to hold your foot in position. Waste of money and not returnable

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.

Great support and was very easy to put on and off. I almost forgot that I had, surgery on my foot. Was like walking on an cloud ☁️.

Por fin uno wue dujeta de verfad y permite cobfucir

The mentioning of the foot size and right foot or left foot before billing

Tuve un esguince de tobillo, grado 2, y aunque tengo una bota de una fractura anterior, quise comprar esta bonita especialmente para proteger mi pie al salir, funcionó de maravilla, al principio hay que adaptarse a ella, pero después es cómoda y útil, porque protegió muy bien mi tobillo. Solo que comprar un poco más grande, porque de largo me quedó corta
