Brace Direct Post Op Shoe & Medical Foot Brace – Stress Fracture, Broken Toe & Bunion Support L3260 – Orthopedic Walking Immobilizer for Left or Right Foot (XL - MENS US SHOE: 13-15)

I have been wearing this for 3 weeks, since I broke my big toe. This boot has been a life saver. I could hardly walk at all until I had this, and as soon as it arrived I put it on and it was a night and day difference. It stabilized my foot / toe so walking wasn't painful. It comes with long velcro straps that you can easily trim to the right size. So it would work if you had a large cast, or if you have small narrow feet like me and no cast. It's super easy to take on and off, or adjust the tightness if you need more or less support in the moment. I got a medium and wear a women's size 8. If I had it to do over again I would get 2, one for inside and one for outside use. It's well worth the price to help heal a broken toe. I tried buddy wrapping my toe to the toe next to it, and while I think that was of some use...this was far better at stabilizing it.

Shoe Worked great. I broke 3 toes it served its purpose!!! It adjusted and supported my toes well. Great value! Sizing was perfect in a 9 Wide in men’s and it fit great!

The whole thing where the hook velcro has to be set manually is kind of strange, but once I set it and trimmed the straps I didn't have any trouble! Overall it's been a great help. I sprained my big toe and after the first few days where I rested a lot, it's made it possible to get around and do my daily activities with little or no pain. It's pretty sturdy, the mesh is comfortable, sole about equal to a thick soled athletic shoe. The rocker bottom is more "rocking" than another one I ordered to try out, and the velcro can get tighter, both of which have helped keep my toe in place. The traction is pretty good (not amazing, but fine for every day) with the wavy pattern. The other tricky aspects have been: * As a women's size 8-8.5, I'm between sizes. Pictured is a large, which is really a bit too big (especially around the ankle) but provides good toe protection. I've just ordered a medium to try too, especially now that I'm healing up. * The inner sole is extremely flat with no arch support - probably important to be usable for a wide range of injuries, but has created tension and pain for me over longer use. Wearing thick socks has helped with both. Hope this helps and you heal soon!

So you have to be careful to select the gender before the size because it makes a HUGE difference in fit. Before surgery I was a narrow shoe size, to be clear. The first shoe I got was a men's and it was too wide across and too long at the toe. I ordered this in the "same size" but Women's and it was perfect at the toe and not as wide so I didn't feel like my foot was moving around in the shoe and I didn't have to strap it as tight to feel secure. I wear an 8 and I bought the M. It's an easy on/off in the middle of the night to run (hahahahaha) to the bathroom if you leave the toes strapped and just have to do the ankle. I would suggest ordering 2 because the fabric gets a funky smell if you sweat. My Physical Therapist said I could wash in the laundry and air dry - though I have not done this yet. I will put it in a sweater bag so the velcro doesn't destroy everything else in there with it.

I broke my big toe almost 4 weeks ago, and although I've broken toes before, it was never my big toe. VERY painful! I "buddy taped" it to the next toe, but I was still suffering from severe pain while wearing any type of regular shoe, mostly due to unconsciously raising the tip of my toe and having it press up against the inside of the shoe box. After 10 days of that, I found this shoe on Amazon. I looked at several other ones that were less expensive, but after reading a lot of the reviews on this shoe I felt that this one would meet my needs the best. I wear a woman's 6.5M, but I ordered a medium instead of a small because numerous reviews stated the shoe was too short in length despite ordering the size that corresponded to their regular shoe size (The width of the shoe is completely adjustable due to the Velcro straps.) When I put the shoe on it was obviously too large, as the tip of my big toe was a good inch from the top, and the first strap actually crossed over my toe, causing more pain instead of less. So I then ordered a small, and it fits perfectly! The tip of my big toe is about 1/4" away from the end of the shoe even while wearing a heavy sock, and the strap crosses where it should. Some reviewers complained that the straps were too long, or that the shoe didn't feel secure. The straps are made long intentionally to accommodate a foot that may be very swollen and/or wrapped in thick bandages. I haven't needed to, but I'm sure, like all other Velcro, the ends of the straps can be trimmed to the desired length. When I put the shoe on, I'm careful to make sure the pieces on top of my foot (under the straps) are overlapped properly and laying flat. Then I carefully fasten the Velcro straps so they are snug but not tight. The shoe feels comfortable and sturdy. I have no problem walking in it at all; in fact, I often forget that I have it on. I only wish I had found this shoe the day I broke my toe instead of 10 days later!

It fits true to size snd very comfortable.

This shoe worked great for my post op toe surgery with a 📍 pin in my toe. I had to use it constantly for 8 weeks. Well the sole cracked on both sides after 6 weeks, and i am still wearing it now at 8 weeks post-op because I need it. I did contact Brace Direct customer support- email twice, phone call once with no response. No response whatsoever from Brace Direct. That is the reason for three stars. Otherwise great product, not sure why mine broke, i’m just a lady in my late 50’s walking around my house, office, and maybe grocery store. The shoe did keep my toes safe.

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

ممتاز وخفيف

Comfortable fit. Easy to put on and take off because the velcro straps open completely. Accurate size chart. Solid velcro straps. I don't recommend injuring your foot but if you need a recovery shoe, I recommend this one.
