MARS WELLNESS Premium Post Op Broken Toe/Foot Fracture Square Toe Walking Shoe - Womens - X Small

I was skeptical at first because this pos-op shoe is unbelievably cheap! I decided to go with it because the shipping was less than a dollar (I don’t have prime and I didn’t want to spend $35 for things I did not need).I had a different style of orthopedic, purchased from a hospital, two years ago when I hurt the same foot. The out of pocket cost of that device ended up costing me $250 (after insurance). That is why when the urgent care doctor told me that I had fractured the bone of my pinky toe a week ago, I decided to find a cheaper solution.The shoe was shipped promptly via USPS. It arrived on the fifth day from when I ordered it.The shoe is comfortable to wear. However, the women medium runs a bit large for me (normally 7). The ankle Velcro, although over a padded strap, feels a bit scratchy. I solved the problem by wearing an-open toe stocking.Overall, the shoe does what it is supposed to do - a very stiff sole to restrict the motion of toes and metatarsal joints. The thickened mid-foot arch also takes to pressure off the front foot.So far I’m happy with it although I’m wearing it mostly at home.

This is a great shoe, especially for the price. I wear a men’s shoe size 9 and the men’s medium fits perfectly. I received a foot fracture and have slowly transitioned from no weight on the fracture, to walking in a boot, to now waking in this shoe. The velcro strap is extra long but easily cut to the right length. It is comfortable and light. The square toe is ideal because I easily bump into things and it protects my foot from further damage.

The shoe cast is good exactly what I was looking for. It has a cushy bottom so the foot is not on a hard surface. It fit nicely but the only issue that I had is the ankle strap. It is too long so I have to fold the strap and attach it to the velcro. Also the ankle part needs to have a more cushy inside next to your skin.Aside from that I would definitely buy another one if I needed it.This one had been durable since I bought it a couple of weeks ago.It took off a lot of the strain I had with wearing a boot and I think that my foot is healing faster.I have a soft tissue injury to the bottom pad of my foot. This shoe allows me to be mobile with my cane and is not bulky, heavy or smelly.Thank you for making it...also maybe make one with less of the toes showing since winter is coming.I would give it 5 stars if the straps were a little shorter.

I broke the base of my big toe and the second toe while on a cruise vacation, and this shoe is much better than the custom splint the medical bay created for me on the ship. It's quick and easy to put on and off. The ankle velcro strap is quite long, but they have included a small piece of velcro that can be moved back and forth to double the end up and customize the strap to your needs. (You could also cut it if you prefer.) Doing what I did creates a little loop on the end so the ankle strap doesn't slide out completely when I take the shoe off, making it quicker and easier to put on each time.For nighttime use I put a non-slip sock on my good foot to get to and from the bathroom, but the height of the toe boot does make walking awkward. So for the majority of time I wear a solid athletic sneaker on the good foot which is closer in height. A cane also gives me a bit more balance when using this shoe but it's not absolutely necessary.My toes do move a bit but it's very limited. Not as firm as a medical cam-boot but it's solid. Also, I can definitely tell that the weight bearing has been shifted with this shoe to be further back on the foot, relieving a lot of the pain and pressure on my toes when I walk. And as a side note, I'm a large person so having the weight better distributed away from my broken toes is a huge help!

I broke my toe toward the base of my foot and was advised by my Dr., to wear steel bottom shoes/heavy hiking boots with NO FLEX for 6 weeks or else he would have to order me an expensive medical boot.. Tried my clunky, hot hiking boots for a day and was desperate for another option. Luckily, I found this shoe on Amazon & it was a lifesaver. I have worn it comfortably now for about a month and my toe is SO much better. The fit was perfect and the straps are easily adjustable ty cutting off the excess straps to fit a narrow foot like mine. ( I wear a women's size 6-7. I order the small and I had a l/2" extra space at the toe.) And it's so affordable and durable. A lot cooler than a heavy hiking boot with these summer temperatures! I wore it with and without socks. My friends commented that it didn't even look that weird or noticeable.

For the money this boot is great. It's lightweight and easier to wear than those big heavy post-op boots. BUT, and it's a large BUT, the top strap is not long enough. After a broken foot and surgery, I must wear an ace bandage around my foot. This boot falls short of being able to fasten it. The toe closure is 3" too short to accommodate an ace bandage. The ankle strap is quite long which I did cut. So, I ended up wearing this boot and putting the ace bandage around my boot to keep it sturdy and closed.

Update: I used this for a day around the house. I like most everything about it, but I am going to return it. The insole just isn’t cushiony enough for my foot problem. Not the manufacturer’s problem. I would still recommend it for what it was designed for.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Just got this today. I bought it to pad my foot when I walk. I have a spinal cyst touching the sciatic nerve in my spine, and it causes cramping in my ankle and foot, making it hurt to walk. This shoe does pad my foot more than tennis shoes or sandals. The sole is fairly thick and looks like it will stand up to wear and tear. It gives my foot more room to spread out vs. a shoe, so that is great. The manufacturer must have fixed the velcro strap “too long” issue, because I have no issues with that. I wear an 8.5/9 shoe and got a ladies large and it fits perfect. So far the quality looks good, but this is only day one so don’t know how it will last. For the price, I would say this is a good buy.
