Finding with broken ankle and the problem of swelling, I can't find shoes to fit. If I go for wider fitting to suit broken ankle they are then dropping off my good leg.
So far I have been constantly in lace up trainers. Comfortably yes but didn't quite match outfit wanting to wear out to lunch on Sunday.
i have many shoes ranging from heels to flats, did you ladies manage to get back into your footwear you had before your ankle problems.

I can't be much help because I didn't wear shoes until post op 5 months. I can wear Sketchers which are very comfy. I have swelling when I've been walking and the shoes stretch a bit thank goodness. I know for the first few months I wouldn't have been able to wear any shoes because the right ankle was huge but I was in a camboot for months.I have worn a pair of flat sandals with a dress but it's been hot here. I am afraid I've said goodbye to my heels for ever. I'm sure some of the other ladies will be able to help you. I know we ladies love shoes but as long as we can walk that's the main thing. 🙂

It's trying to find something comfortable and safe for both feet.
as you say it's the walking is the most important thing. Pleased this week have managed to shuffle around the bed unaided.
Your lucky with weather, today we had ground frost that keeps me indoors, till confidence builds and weather improves this is where I'll stay.

When I had almost identical injury on the other ankle some years ago I found it was about a year before I could wear heels. I never reverted to really silly shoes except to pose in at social events where minimum walking was required. You would be surprised how many women, even without ankle injury have given up heels these days. Best of luck with shoe shopping and walking.
