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.

My son broke his little toe and this ortho shoe was a lifesaver for him. He was able to get around better than trying to buddy tape his toe and getting into a wider shoe. He was so grateful when he received it via Amazon.

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 !

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.

This shoe has its Pros and Cons, based on what is most important to you: -Do you want a lower platform or is a higher platform ok? Some folks may not have a tall platform shoe to wear with a taller Forefoot Offloading Shoe. Me, I have a huge selection of platform shoes so platform height wasn’t a concern for me. -Do you want rounded toe box or a square toe box? While I prefer rounded, I was willing to wear whichever shoe would relieve my pain the most. -Do you want an “even” walking feel or are you ok with an Offloading Shoe that “sinks” your heel a bit? I thought I wanted a nice “even” feel, but the design which sunk my heel down a bit kept more pressure off of my forefoot making walking less painful. So I wound up preferring the less-painful (to my foot) sunk-heel design. -Higher platforms tend to sink your heel while standing/walking; lower platforms seemed to keep my foot more even … but I found the sunken heel relieved more of my foot pain (top priority) as it kept more weight off of my forefoot. While I experienced back-muscle pain with both tall and short platforms, as you have an uneven gait while wearing the shoe, other reviewers mention the back-muscle pain is only temporary as you’ll either get used to walking in the Shoe or you’ll be healed and can stop wearing the Shoe :-) This shoe is AMAZING: The three highly adjustable straps made for a perfect fit whether broad or narrow foot, design of the ankle strap prevented any shoe slippage without cutting off circulation (I have a narrow heel so this was my favorite feature), the shoe without socks feels soft on your skin, it has a rounded toe box, it did not slip on carpet or tile, and it’s a SHORTER platform. I purchased a second shoe to compare (See Photos). If you’re looking for a shorter platform and a solid adjustable fit then you will l o v e this Forefoot Offloading Shoe :-)

This shoe is convenient but the sole is SO hard and makes it at times painful to walk in. An air cast is more comfortable than this shoe.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great Support and Comfort I got this shoe for my wife to help with foot discomfort, and it has made a big difference. It provides excellent support, feels stable, and makes walking much easier. The design helps reduce pressure at the front of the foot, and the fit (medium) was just right. Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to wear — we’re really happy with it!

La llevo usando casi dos meses por una fractura y cirugía de dedo. Claro q no es para andar caminando en la calle, solo en la casa y por breves episodios, porque el reposo en mi caso es obligatorio. Pero me ha ayudado mil, ya q las muletas o la andadera son la cosa más cansada del mundo. Las correas son muy largas así q yo las corte al tamaño deseado. Si es una monserga ponerlas cada q te vas a levantar y también hay q buscar un zapato para el pie bueno que tenga una plataforma más o menos de la misma altura,de otro modo te dolerá horrores la cadera porq uno camina como "cobrando". Por lo demás bien.
