About this item BEFORE YOU BUY view our sizing chart (the 2nd image). The post-op wedge shoe fits US men’s, women’s and some big kid’s shoe sizes. To accommodate heavy bandaging, order half a shoe size up. Wear on your right or left foot. Small weighs 11 ounces. Designed for individuals healing from a broken toe, metatarsal fracture, diabetic foot ulcer or recovering from forefoot surgery such as a bunionectomy, hammertoe or mallet toe correction. Protects your forefoot and toes with its 15-degree dorsi-angle bottom, forcing you to shift your weight to your heel when walking. The lack of pressure on the front of your foot and toes reduces pain and promotes recovery. Square-toe design is spacious for comfort and acts as a protective bumper against further damage. Adjustable medical-grade fastener straps easily accommodate bandaging and swelling. Soft, durable material is breathable for all-day comfort during treatment.

SIZING, ADAPTATION & REPAIR NOTES:SIZING: Hubby’s shoe size is 10D & the Large in this boot fit well WITH very thick foot wrapping from toe tips to above the ankle. That may need to be considered when sizing.TO LENGTHEN STRAPS, IF NECESSARY: Because of the thick foot wrapping, we had to add a 3/4″ wide (velcro)/hook & loop strip onto the front (velcro) strap of the boot to make it long enough to reach and adhere to the velcro on opposite side. It was a very easy, inexpensive and successful fix that took about 30 seconds to accomplish. The boot’s back strap was long enough without being lengthened even though the thick wrapping extended above the ankle. I already had the roll of hook & loop tape on hand for other uses, got it on Amazon several yrs ago. Here’s the same thing:https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXPQZWN/ref=sspa_dk_detail_9?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07YXPQZWN&pd_rd_w=nQ7ly&pf_rd_p=7d37a48b-2b1a-4373-8c1a-bdcc5da66be9&pd_rd_wg=8Q3B3&pf_rd_r=9ZD574VYPZB3Q15REBH1&pd_rd_r=f12eba27-c879-4d4a-8cbe-88b480bcce3c&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySDhUSUNHNDM3STI1JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDE5OTc2M0FZQVRJV0Q3MTVPUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjQ2ODEwM0xGTjFJQUhZNEkzNiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU=TO REPAIR STRAP, IF NECESSARY: I glanced a review picture that shows where the glue on the buckle-end of a boot strap had let loose. In our experience, this is not unusual for these ortho devices, especially if they get heavy use. While it didn’t happen for us on this particular boot, it HAS happened on the straps of two other types of ortho foot devices hubby has, in the same place, where the buckle (or D-ring) connects to the strap. There is alot of strain in that area, and an inexpensive, easy fix for this has been SUPER GLUE. Place the buckle/D ring back where it was so that the strap can fold over it. Put some Super Glue on one side of the fold-over, squeeze it back together and hold it tightly in place for a minute or so until the glue is completely set/dry. If the strap isn’t long enough to fold over and hold the buckle in place, we’ve had luck gluing in a longer pc of strap to hold the buckle. Necessity stirs initiative if given a chance.REVIEW: I found this boot for hubby after he had surgery on the large front ball of his foot, had his pinky toe amputated and his big toe surgically straightened. Recovery has been long, and he was no-weight-bearing for the first 7 wks. The problems stemmed from a previous injury, 4 yrs ago, so he already had the other equipment he needed, like a knee scooter, etc., but I bought this for him so that those few steps he had to take when going from scooter to the chair, bed, toilet, etc, wouldn’t require him to put any weight on the front of that foot. This was THE PERFECT SOLUTION! In fact, he ended up using the boot (and his foot) more than he maybe should have, being quite active due to boredom and having this boot to keep the front of his foot completely off the ground and, therefore, bearing no weight. I was rather regretting that I’d bought it for awhile, afraid the activity would cause problems with healing, but the boot prevented that from happening, it held up wonderfully to alot of wear and tear, the surgeon was quite impressed, and it was well worth every penny of the $25 cost! Because the initial injury has greatly affected hubby’s gait, which, in turn, has serious consequences for both feet, this will not be the end of the surgeries. This boot has provided one more tool to make it easier for hubby to get through these difficult procedures. It made the 7 weeks of no-weight-bearing go by much faster and easier, with less chance of inhibiting the healing process and less emotional stress than what would’ve been without it.

I’m not one for writing reviews but holy guacamole, this shoe’s deserving of one! I sliced the sole of my foot open on Halloween. If you can imagine an ice cream scooper scooping a long strip of ice cream into a ball, that was a blunt metal pipe to the skin of the ball of my foot. Too wide for stitches and not being one for hospital visits, I took care of nursing myself. Walking around was hell. Spent more time than I should’ve hobbling around on the side of my foot and heel. Super uncomfortable and regular shoes were unbearable. There were only so many days I could rock up to work in slippers! Long story short, I had a business trip coming up and had to do something. That’s when I found this miracle shoe. Total game changer! It has helped me immensely. I can take regular steps without wincing in pain. It alleviates the pressure and is helping my wound heal without being crunched with every step. I can’t recommend it enough!PS – I was comfortable enough to walk through the redwoods in California with this shoe…something I never could’ve done without it! So, if you’re thinking about getting this shoe, you should!

I’ve been unable to walk for 12 years and now because of this shoe I can walk again with my toes inclined 15 inches from the ground 😊

Had hammertoe surgery and can only walk on the heel of my foot post surgery for 6 weeks. This shoe made it possible. I was very paranoid about the pins getting hit and the shape of the toe box definitely kept that from happening. Between this shoe and crutches I was able to negotiate around the house without ever putting weight on the front of my foot. Definitely a life saver and would strongly recommend to anyone having hammertoe surgery!
