Vive Offloading Post-Op Shoe - Forefront Wedge Boot for Broken Toe Injury - Non Weight Bearing Medical Recovery for Foot Surgery, Hammer Toes, Bunion, Feet Pain - Walking Orthopedic (X-Small)

This shoe could have some Pros and Cons, based on what is most important to you: -Do you want a lower platform or is a higher platform ok? Some folks may not have a tall platform shoe to wear with a taller Forefoot Offloading Shoe. Me, I have a huge selection of platform shoes so platform height wasn’t a concern for me. -Do you want rounded toe box or a square toe box? While I prefer rounded, I was willing to wear whichever shoe would relieve my pain the most. -Do you want an “even” walking feel or are you ok with an Offloading Shoe that “sinks” your heel a bit? I thought I wanted a nice “even” feel, but this design which sinks my heel down a bit kept more pressure off of my forefoot which made walking significantly LESS painful. -Higher platforms tend to sink your heel while standing/walking; lower platforms seemed to keep my foot more even … but I found the sunken heel relieved more of my foot pain (top priority) as it kept more weight off of my forefoot. While I experienced back-muscle pain with both tall and short platforms, as you have an uneven gait while wearing the shoe, other reviewers mention the back-muscle pain is only temporary as you’ll either get used to walking in the Shoe or you’ll be healed and can stop wearing the Shoe :-) This shoe is AMAZING: The two highly adjustable straps made for a perfect fit whether broad or narrow foot, design of the ankle strap prevented any shoe slippage without cutting off circulation (I have a narrow heel so this was my favorite feature), the shoe without socks feels soft on your skin, it has a square toe box which protects your toes, it did not slip at all while walking on carpet and/or tile, it’s a higher platform shoe with a sunken heel which for me seems to alleviate more pain, the heel platform is slightly rounded so you don’t walk like Frankenstein, and with an accompanying similar height shoe on my other foot I found this shoe quite easy to walk in and very comfortable to wear. The only downside I found was the front of the shoe creates a clack’ing sound with each step (clack, clack, clack) … but that could be just me as I wear a 7.5-8 shoe and this shoe fits up to a size 9. Either way it’s no bother — I only wear it when I run errands, and everything else about this Shoe is just so perfect. I purchased a second shoe, lower platform, for comparison (See Photos). If you’re looking for a Forefoot Offloading Shoe that is very comfortable, highly adjustable, and great at relieving pain then you will l o v e this shoe :-)

Pretty good, been wearing for 3 weeks now and after the first day, I got used to it and am able to walk pretty normally. Also, when I first tried it on, I thought I wasn’t going to work or be comfortable for the first 10 minutes- it just takes a little getting used to. It’s weird but you’ll get the hang of it.

I bought this for my husband to wear. He injured some toes and this helps to keep the weight off while his toes recover. Our daughter had used a shoe from this company before when she had a broken bone in her foot, so she had recommended it to us. The velcro straps hold well. It is well-made and worth the money and has helped support my husband's foot.

I rarely write reviews but this shoe was a total game changer in my recovery from hammertoe surgery. Keeping pressure off my toes seemed to be key to recovery but the shoe that my doctor gave me did not allow for that. After just 1 day of using the VIVE offloading shoe, I felt total comfort and relief. I was able to walk comfortably all day with the VIVE shoe and not feel pain afterwards. I did not feel unbalanced at all. I had a similar height shoe to wear on my other foot and I quickly learned to put the weight on my heel. The shoe helped to do this naturally. It did not take any extra effort. I highly recommend it.

Shoe tore apart at the heel. I bought another, just in case, the second also detached at the heel. ..... :-/

This shoe was working fine for about 5 or 6 weeks. Trying to get a diabetic ulcer healed and provider instructed to get this shoe. Using knee scooter while out and about but still had to climb 2 flights of stairs to apartment. When the top sn sole of shoe separated most of the way, still only attached at the toe, this became a very big hazard and could no longer be used. A new one is needed but of course the return window has closed. I would only recommend this brand if you're sure you'll only need it short-term (up to 4 weeks).

It is uncomfortable at first however you do get used to it and it definitely works! I broke my toe and this helps you walk normally without bending the toe. I’d recommend it.

I had surgery to correct a bunion, hammer toe, and a third toe issue. I purchased this product because the padding in the heal of the one that was prescribed by my doctor’s office lost its cushion affect after three weeks of use. So far this product has held up better after the same amount of time. I am female and I wear an 8.5 wide tennis shoe. I definitely have extra room at the end of this medium sized shoe which is fine. The adjustable straps allow for ACE bandages and gauze. I no longer need an ACE bandage or gauze, just a regular sock and found that the shoe is a bit too large now. I thought about purchasing a smaller size, but I will soon be going into a special sandal prescribed by my doctor, so I just wear a thicker sock instead. You will likely get a sore calf muscle at first, but it is not the fault of the shoe. It is simply because the is designed to put all the pressure on your heel instead of your toes. After a while, you will strengthen your muscle and that will not be an issue. I do suggest trying to find a tennis shoe or boot that has equal height as you will have an uneven gate otherwise. Again, not the fault of the product. It is designed the same as the one that my surgeon prescribed. I do recommend this product.

Lo voy a devolver ya que no me quedo ? Esta muy chico

Delivery was quick and easy, as usual. This boot is comfortable and easy to slide in & out of. I have an infection in my foot and walking was very painful - now I can at least get my dog out for some relief.
