I broke my ankle and leg in October and had to have hardware put in. My ankle has one screw and two tightrope devices.
I’m at the point where I’m back to my normal routine aside from the one day a week I do physical therapy. I’m coming to realize that literally none of the shoes I own are not comfortable anymore. They all make my ankle feel worse and do not expand enough when my foot swells up.
My dad broke his foot and had to have a screw put in, and he just wore Birkenstock sandals for a long time afterwards. Though, I know this isn’t the right time of year (in the northern hemisphere) for those
Also, this probably isn’t a relevant suggestion because it’s for a different kind of ailment, but my mom has fallen arches and really likes On shoes
Feet and leg injuries are horrible, I hope you find a solution and i wish you a speedy recovery
Thank you! I will definitely look into On shoes!
Seconding On shoes. My fancy pants wife got me a pair a couple years ago, and now just about every other shoe feels cheap and unsupportive by comparison
They are, in fact, fucking amazing shoes.
Suspect they’ll work for a percentage of victims of this exact injuryy, and I maintain a pair of ripoffs because when I hurt myself, they mostly make it ok enough that I have a workaround.
Was intro to Birks at maybe 10yo, as soon as my feet figured out “different, but more than ok,” I was/remain a fan.
Might not be the place for soap to start out of the gate, but def useful long term.
