Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a boot or a shoe for a broken toe?

Most broken toes heal in a stiff post-op shoe. A walking boot is used when the break is in the big toe or a metatarsal and needs more protection.

Suggested: Brace Direct Post Op Shoe

Which walking boot is best for a metatarsal fracture?

A short walking boot is common for a metatarsal fracture because it holds the foot stiff while leaving the calf free. An air boot adds padding for swelling.

Do I need a shoe for my other foot?

A boot or post-op shoe raises one side, which can strain your hip and back. A shoe leveler on the other foot evens out your stride.
