I broke my ankle and leg in October and had to have hardware put in. My ankle has one screw and two tightrope devices.

I’m at the point where I’m back to my normal routine aside from the one day a week I do physical therapy. I’m coming to realize that literally none of the shoes I own are not comfortable anymore. They all make my ankle feel worse and do not expand enough when my foot swells up.

    If your doctor and/or physical therapist don’t have any recommendations, look for a running shoe store in your area. They can frequently help steer you to shoes that’ll feel so much better. If you don’t have one and still are looking for advice from random Internet people:

    • Nurses tend to like Hoka and Dansko.
    • For the severe tendonitis in my foot, I found Brooks to be really comfortable.
    • I also have some Chelsea boots from Lems Shoes. They’re wider the regular shoes, but don’t have much support. I replaced the insert with an orthotic recommended by my podiatrist and it works pretty well.
