My dad broke his foot and had to have a screw put in, and he just wore Birkenstock sandals for a long time afterwards. Though, I know this isn't the right time of year (in the northern hemisphere) for those
Also, this probably isn't a relevant suggestion because it's for a different kind of ailment, but my mom has fallen arches and really likes On shoes
Feet and leg injuries are horrible, I hope you find a solution and i wish you a speedy recovery
Thank you! I will definitely look into On shoes!
Seconding On shoes. My fancy pants wife got me a pair a couple years ago, and now just about every other shoe feels cheap and unsupportive by comparison
They are, in fact, fucking amazing shoes.
Suspect they’ll work for a percentage of victims of this exact injuryy, and I maintain a pair of ripoffs because when I hurt myself, they mostly make it ok enough that I have a workaround.
Was intro to Birks at maybe 10yo, as soon as my feet figured out “different, but more than ok,” I was/remain a fan.
Might not be the place for soap to start out of the gate, but def useful long term.
