ProCare - 79-81232 Squared Toe Post-Op Shoe

This product works great for broken toes or broken feet. It is a great transitional product from a cast or boot, although I ordered the shoe immediately. I have had numerous "adventures" with foot surgery, falls, etc, & have broken the 5th metatarsal on each foot. I know the difficulties of using a heavy orthopedic boot both as a nurse AND a patient; they're a pain to get on & off, they're VERY heavy, & it is painful to slide the foot back into the boot. This shoe was SO much better as soon as it arrived!!!! I cannot tell you that it was as supportive because it isn't. It lacks the steel rods on the sides of the ankle, so if you need to keep the foot from rotating (i.e. a sprain or a metatarsal fracture) this may not work early on. But this was like a breath of fresh air for my broken foot. It slides right on to get out of bed in 2 seconds, & it doesn't hurt to GET it on. The Velcro holds it tight, & it has worn well; I've been in it 2 weeks. Fractures hurt like Hell, as anyone who has had one knows. Time & stability are what help the pain. This shoe is great for the price; the sizing was correct, & it is not HOT & heavy. The best part is that it's not killing my back from the rocking motion of having one hip significantly higher than the other. I wish I had one of these with any of the other fractures I have lived through; great shoe!

This is a quality post-op shoe! It helped protect & take the pressure off of my broken toe. Im so happy with my purchase. The fully adjustable top velcro strap makes it easy to apply firm or loose pressure depending on your needs. Very comfortable to walk in as well! No regrets...and saved me tons of money from purchasing a shoe from my foot specialist.

Great deal! Cheap but a good shoe. My son fractured his toe and purchased this as recommendation from ortho.

Absolutely amazing!!!! I broke my toe in three places and needed a post surgery shoe. I bought another pair twice as expensive and they left my feet swollen and in more pain. I’ve been wearing these for over 24 hours (aside from sleep) and am amazed at how comfortable they are and how much support they provide. 10 stars!!!!

Falls apart after a few uses. The heal tore away first and I even tried gluing it back down better with out success.

Pain in my right foot to bend my toes upward. I don't know how I injured myself, but the pain was in the region of my first metatarsal. As a manual labor man, I have to insure the lazy, but don't get insurance. The only rational solution, no matter the actual problem, seems to be immobilization. A doctor bill is out of the question, and this post-op shoe is much cheaper than the fine for not having insurance, so I bought one. I wear a size 10 shoe, and I ordered the large size. It is huge. At first I thought to return it, but then I realized it was large enough to fit over my shoe. Seeing the onset of winter, I decided that a shoe over my shoe might be good. Soon, I was walking like the short-legged man that I was, so I bought another shoe to make my legs match so nobody would think I was injured, and should stop working, which would stop my income. After a short time, I discovered that the shoe was not rigid enough and I could still bend my lower foot and hurt myself. So I cut a piece of wood and inserted it between the post-op shoe and my regular shoe. People did notice, but it really didn't attract to much attention. My shoes are easy to take on and off without removing the post-op shoes separately. Winter is here, and as you can see in the picture, my shoes have an uneven coat of wetness and salt. It is possible that my foot is healed, but the post-op shoes are easy to wear and help keep my shoes dry in the slush. Considering the side benefits, and the harm if I stop wearing them early, I'll probably keep wearing them till spring. In summary: Given a wooden insert to make them super stiff, they are the best thing imaginable. Easy to wear, easy to remove, cheap enough to buy another as a leveler for the other foot, and they don't look like a cast. Minus the salt, glue, and other working deposits, they actually look good, and blend in well with my regular shoes.

Runs very large. I wear a 8.5 or 9. And this is huge. Easy to strap on and off. Works fine. Just square and wide at the top and I run into things. Looks stupid on.

This is a great show to assist with broken bones. The only negative is that the shoe is rather long.

sizing chart accurately represents the product, arrived quickly in good condition. Great alternative to a full soft aircast.

Comprato per frattura al mignolo. La scarpa con la suola rigida va benissimo per questo tipo di frattura. La misura è giusta.

The shoe completely did the trick. After breaking my foot my foot was too swollen to wear a regular shoe.

Zapato de suela dura, servirá para postoperatorio de juanetes, porque para fracturas de metatarsianos no sirve, no tiene buen agarre en el tobillo

This shoe is light weight and smart my podiatrist said they are purchasing this brand to use with patients. It is easier to use the Velcro on the shoe to fit the size of my foot with various dressings.
