Review on Premium Broken Fracture Square Walking Sports & Fitness by Brandon Battaglia

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good for weight shifting from broken toes to midfoot and heel

I broke the base of my thumb and second toe while cruising and this shoe is so much better than the regular medical bay splint that is used for me was made on the ship . It is easy and quick to put on and take off. The Velcro ankle strap is quite long but there is a small piece of Velcro included that can be moved back and forth to double up the end and adjust the strap to suit your needs. (You can also cut it off if you'd like.) What I did creates a small loop at the end so the ankle strap doesn't slide out all the way when I take my shoes off, making them quicker and easier to put on every time. For nighttime use, I wear a non-slip sock on my good foot to get to and from the bathroom, but the height of the toe of the shoe makes walking uncomfortable. Therefore, most of the time I wear durable sports shoes on a healthy foot that is closer in height. The cane also gives me a little more balance when using this shoe, but it's not strictly necessary. My toes move a little but it's very limited. Not as strong as medical boots but durable. Also, I can definitely say that the weight of this shoe has been shifted further back on the foot which has greatly reduced the pain and pressure on the toes when walking. And as a side note, I'm a tall person so it's best to spread the weight from my broken toes - a big help!
