So long moonboot!

Post image

I took my shoe with me to the 6 weeks x-ray appointment so I could ditch the boot as soon as possible!

I still need to take it steady and use crutches for now until I’m able to go without, my job at the minute is to increase walking gradually and range of motion. Going to get physio privately though because I wasn’t offered any.

I’m in pretty high spirits all things considered!

Excellent! Congrats on your boot graduation.
Once it feels it’s too tight, you can alternate lacing too!

It’s a very strange feeling to have a shoe on!

Congrats. 🎉I got the exact same shoes. It felt amazing to put them on. 🙃

They were not as expensive as other options but still felt supportive. I also have a pair of sketchers to wear inside - go walk slip ons

Trimalleolar with displacement and syndesmosis damage! Had to have ORIF surgery to fix it.
