DMI Women's Size 6-8 Post Op Surgical Walking Shoe for Broken Foot or Toes, Pain, Lightweight Adjustable Straps, Left or Right -Universal Fit

True to size and just as comfortable as the one the doctor supplied. I wanted a second one for indoor use only. Was invaluable to help heal my toe. Good value.

I ordered two in size '6-8' to have spare for home & one to wear at outside after I was given a similar version of the same brand in an emergency room for a chipped toe. However, this shoe was a cheaper version of the same brand name shoe received at Milford Hospital ER. Looking at this Ad, I had wrongly assumed that size (6-8) was in Men's sizing as it was next to the listing for to the Men's (9-11), but in reality (6-8) is in a Women's small sizing (I am a size 81/2 but my foot measures 9+3/4": I would recommend that a woman be a size 7 or smaller to wear this Ad's smallest shoe. If this sizing had been in men's, a men's (6-8) would have approximated a woman's 7-9. When I applied weight on my foot/stood up- my big toe + my injured 2nd toe hung off the tip by 3/4" tip, plus my big toe hangs off along the inner side for a length of two inches . I don't see any other choice that would fit better. Today, I went to write a review after again injuring a toe + discovering that the protective shoe I purchased yesterday at a walk-in clinic was a piece of junk made with a solid wood platform base, with the side material stapled to it. Its' ankle is also so smallit will cut so I will need to alter it. That horrible shoe made me apperciate that at least the shoe in this Ad is the traditional type that I've seen used for the last 50 yrs. not the highest quality but I would rate this shoe a C or B if I needed to grade it (the horrible wood base ones w/staples & too tight ankle opening I would rate an F + plan to let their management know. I wish that this Ad gave the inches of the length for the men's 9-12 as I'm not sure if I should order it- will look at some others here which are not cut high at the ankle- some have that upper strap rather high- like a turtle neck style though its a shoe. I was given credit by Amazon for the 2 short size (6-8) which I was unable to use due to their shortness in length (and donated them unused to a thrift shop). These will do the job again depending on your size, but they should sell a 2nd, larger sized woman's and make it clear that the size 6-8 is a woman's size, not a man's.

The description of this item was perfect the size correct comfortability very good helps walking better keeps you balanced

I received a very heavy black shoe for a broken pinky toe from my dr. It was so heavy that it caused a muscle strain in my arch that went from my ankle to my big toe. So in comparison to that shoe, this is great. BUT, no shoe really fits a size 6-8. I am a size 8. My toes hang over the top which isn't really safe, particularly walking outside in the winter. Luckily it's my pinky toe that's broken and that doesn't go over, but big toes and next two definitely go over the edge of the shoe. [There was no larger women's size to choose from.] Further, the straps which use velcro closures are so long that when pulled across, I couldn't attach the velcro because it was a number of inches away from what it was supposed to stick to. What I did was cut off the velcro [and save it], then cut the straps each a few inches, and then used fabric glue to secure the velcro strips on at an appropriate length. I still have to wear really bulky socks for my foot to be bulky enough that I use enough of the strap for the velcro to stick [I could have cut more inches off the straps.] Obviously we shouldn't really have to go to Amazon for our medical needs. But if we do, there should be a greater choice of sizes and products need some quality control. Those straps would never fit anyone who had a foot small enough for the shoe bed to fit.

stupid boot

I got a pair of these shoes for my bunion surgery and they were ok. I’m a size 7 in women so they fit fine for me, but I can see why people are saying they run small. The only thing I don’t like about them is the support - I wish there was more heavy duty support on the bottom, but can’t really be picky with the price lol. Velcro strip is long, but I just cut the excess off. Other than that, they do the trick!

This worked perfectly for what I needed it to! Easily adjustable- I will say.. the straps are a little long, but it kinda depends on how big or small your foot is. Other than that. It’s worked, helped, and made walking around a little easier. Definitely recommend if you need it, it’s definitely worth it all the way.

I wear a women’s 7 1/2, this shoe was too small, the straps too long and not tight enough. Yes I easily cut the straps but the Velcro only held so much on the strap. It says you can wear it on either foot(I needed it on my left foot) but it felt wrong the whole time. I wish I had spent more money to get something more comfortable and useful. I only wore it for a couple hours, couldn’t see me wearing this all day.
