I'm living in Sydney Australia and find it hard getting soft well padded shoes to wear after having the scarf and akin osteotomy done last June 24. Is anyone else having this problem or does anyone know where is the best place buying them? Maybe the people in England may be able to give me a website for them, which would be nice. What have you been wearing since your operation? My foot is fairly swollen, red and sore.

    Hi goanna, I got to take my flashy shoe off yesterday and walking in normal shoes, still very stiff and swollen, how long was it for you before it started to feel ok? Booked in for other foot on the 19th December. Amanda in NZ
