Had ankle surgery 12-2-22 just got a "walking cast" yesterday... pretty much the same cast with an extra layer of cast wrap... I do have the the additional "shoe" velcro sandal type .... it is weight bearing... have this on for 3 weeks and then a walking boot after that... just going slow, since I actually broke ankle 11-15-22 being non-weight bearing for 2 months.. I'm nervous about walking in this... slight pain occasionally.. but I believe that's from the new cast being angled differently.... taking it slow... definitely a "process"

Knee scooters are beyond amazing. There is no way you can easily manage a walker if you are non-weight bearing. You literally have to hop on your good leg and this puts a strain on you shoulders/upper arms/wrists. Been there, doing that with three breaks in my ankle. Another suggestion. When undoing the straps on your boot, make sure you velcro each strap back against itself so you don’t end up trying to tear apart a tangle of straps that have velcro’d themselves together.

A compression sock I found is too painful to pull onto a broken 5th metatarsal foot as you show. Iced first before putting the sock on. Before I got the short boot, after getting a second opinion about surgery, the first podiatrist wrapped a cast tape to stabilize the fracture and wrapped the foot in a compression bandage. Was given small short air boot with built in air bladders from the second doc. My big toe is a half inch away from the front of boot. You definitely need to wear a thin cotton or cast sock esp. here in the tropics if it's not too painful to pull on foot and up the calf. Your video pointed out several excellent items..the leveler, the boot sole insert and the walker! Thank you!

You saved me! And I will get use from each slide haha! 😆 I have to get a bilateral foot and ankle reconstruction so one at a time... 😵‍💫 I have neuropathy now so these are a winner for me I cannot wear sneakers now suddenly I'm swelling more and atrophy is so painful. I would have NEVER KNOWN if it weren't for your one in literally Zillions of comments on KZfaq. If you get this comment would you mind telling me exactly which one you are talking about there are a few that come up and I can't waste a dime or a penny right now. 🙄

@@JennMartinello I bought the Hoka One Ora Recovery slide 2. Mine were about $50 at the time, but of course they've gone up, and prices vary because of size and color. The soles are really thick, so they balance out a basic ortho boot really well. Hope they work for you.

Uneven gait is the least of my problems. My boot is causing pressure sores on my leg. A thick sock and one of those little pads isn't helping.

I broke my foot in four places.I wear a high boot and a sneaker with an Evenup on my sneaker..what really is working well for me is my Merrill hiking boot on my good foot..it evens up my hips and also gives me some good traction..Can you make a video with some gentle stretching while you boot is on..I was in a cast..now I’m in a boot..I could take it off to sleep shower ..I do take the boot off to gently message my foot get the circulation flowing..my calf muscle is depleted ..Thank you

been 3 weeks an 3 days since i fractured my calcaneus luckily it was a small fracture an no surgery is needed but when putting my air cast back on how tight should it be because there some times i feel like the padding is pushing on the back of my heel a bit and i have the air cast you show to get in this video. i also do where tall compression socks.

Does fracture of the medial base 2nd proximal phalanx normally requires any kind of cast (or fracture air boots)? One orthopedic doctor actually told me that it is counter productive to use any cast. I currently use a temporary cast off and on and feel that I would be putting more pressure on my injured ( with swollen soft tissues + a fractured bone) foot if I were to not have any support. I also do not want to risk displacing the broken bone --though I walked alot immediately after injuring my foot and the X' ray does not show any displacement. Thank You!

A boot would probably be easier for something like that for sure. A cast could be very restrictive.

@@DrTomBiernacki Thank you for your response. I am now wearing velcro slippers only. According to one orthopedic that' s the way to go. Hope nothing would go wrong this way. It's better for my hips for sure and saves me the trouble of getting boots and inserts. Thanks again!
