BraceAbility Post Op Shoe Foot Brace - Orthopedic Surgical Cast Shoe for Broken Toes, Injured Foot Protection, Stress Fracture Recovery Medical Boot for Men (XL - Male)

I bought this post-op shoe after I broke my foot — expecting a humble, quiet recovery. What I got instead was the transformation of a lifetime. I slid my broken foot into this BraceAbility shoe and immediately felt like I had strapped on the boot of a fallen demigod. The support? Impeccable. The comfort? Divine. The vibe? Unstoppable.Within days, people were no longer asking “Are you okay?” They were asking “What kind of power are you wielding?” I could feel the energy returning to my foot — not just healing it, but enhancing it. I’m not saying I could roundhouse kick a brick wall now, but I’m also not saying I haven’t tried.Walking in this thing felt like striding with authority. The sole is sturdy, the straps are snug, and the design is sleek enough that I briefly considered never taking it off again. Who needs symmetry when your broken foot is clearly superior now?If you’ve injured your foot and want more than just recovery — if you want a comeback story worthy of a film adaptation — BraceAbility is the way. Five stars. My foot broke once, but it came back stronger, wiser, and just a little smug about it.

This brace is a huge relief for fractured toes! In my situation, the injury is to the 4 smaller toes, middle of the little toe, middle of the toe next to the big toe, and base of the 3 middle toes. I'm able to get my foot into a loose shoe or walk/hobble barefoot but it's very uncomfortable, causes additional swelling to my foot and puts undue strain on other parts of my body. I've got a lot of swelling beneath my toes so it feels like I'm walking on a bunched-up sock. I have a boot from a previous injury to these same toes. The boot does help but it's heavy and clunky and puts pressure on the top of my toes which adds to the nerve irritation. I ordered this brace which was delivered the next day to my house and provided immediate relief to my foot. It's lightweight so there is no pressure at the top of the foot. It's not at all clunky. The bottom of the sole is configured to put the pressure more into the middle of the foot when stepping and rocks as you step so as not to bend the toes. I'm now able to walk with a more normal gait so other parts of my body are also feeling relief. The sole height is a close match to the shoes I normally wear which is an added bonus (the boot is much higher). My foot is a normal size 6. The photos show the brace next to a size 6 Merrell Women's Encore Ice 4 shoe, one with a lightweight sock and one with a heavy sock. My only complaint with this brace is that the bottom sole is molded out of hard plastic. It does have grips and doesn't appear slippery, but I would prefer a more absorbent rubber sole. Aside from that, I highly recommend this. Yesterday was the first day that I wore it all day and it relieved the pain enough that I was able to get a good night's sleep. Well worth it!

I wear a size 6.5 size shoe and have a more narrow foot. I bought a medium as the size chart recommended. It's rather long, but for my needs that is O.K. I have an orthopedic boot from my orthopedic doctor that I wear except for sleeping. I have 3 broken toes. I bought this shoe for sleeping in bed which is perfect. It's soft and allows me to move around and gives my toes the support they need. I do find it much harder to walk in compared to my orthopedic boot ($280 ). For short time use this shoe may be fine. Worth a try. The velcro fastners are well made and the quality is fine. It fit my needs and I'm happy that I bought it.

I’ve been in the medical field for over 30 years. I’m very familiar with orthopedic shoes. This is the best that I’ve come across, It’s shaped perfectly for walking and it’s wide, so it keeps all of your toes protected. I ordered this for My brother who is an uncontrolled, Noncompliant diabetic with severe toe And foot, cellulitis w/ulcers. This Shoe Has been a godsend! My brother resists everything, and he actually loves this shoe, how comfortable, lightweight, and easy to put on & off. It’s super easy to clean too!! Because of the wide toe Design all of his severely affected toes are protected and allowed to breathe and healing has actually significantly improved. I recommend this orthopedic shoe to anybody who wants something comfortable truly designed for walking and will promote the greatest protection for healing.!!

Excellent firm support. I wore this during healing of my stress fracture, when I wanted to switch off from the boot. Very sturdy and supportive--much better than the one that my podiatrist sells. Highly recommend.
