I'm a long ways from getting back into shoes because I'm only 2 weeks. On the first foot a couple days. From the second foot but as far as gym shoes are concerned or trainers as some people call themwhat would be the best brand and style have you guys tried i go bk to work end of augest and work in an assembly plant so I won't be able to wear sandals only gym shoes

    Hi Rebecca im 7 months post op I'm on my feet at work at least 8 hours a day I really struggled with shoes at first then I discovered sketchers I got sketcher socks (just called socks coz that's what it feels like your wearing) they are a bit ugly but they are so comfy they also do a dolly shoe type depends what you need but they have been the best thing for me hope you get sorted .

      Ha great minds think alike star , the ones I got didn't have memory foam but I did look at them I think I might have to invest in a pair coz the sketchers sock shoes are really comfy not cheap but worth it .

      Definite the most comfortable . The memory foam makes a big difference as it cushions the ball if the foot And toes. They are great.

      before my surgery I have always 1 Skechers so sounds like I'm just going to need to invest in a new pair even though the ones I have right now or only about 2 months.old I'm sure I'll need maybe a size bigger a little bit wider

    Hi. I am 3 weeks into recover from bunion surgery. I havent had much swelling at all until yesterday i had to go shopping for my little girls birthday and honestly my foot was a mess....so sore and like a balloon! Im a little worried as i start back college end of august and will be on my foot all day.....i also will be investing in sketchers the memory foam ones i think so i hope i will be ok. But my foot looks a lot skinnier than my other foot (i still have a bunion on my left foot) so i dont know if my foot that ive had done will have changed size do you know?? Xx
