Works well
Broke my middle toe & I didn’t want a boot so I got this. I am women size 7 so I got a medium & it fits very well. I love that I can adjust the tightness. It’s very supportive & nice to walk again without too much pain!

Perfect fit--has been a lifesaver.
I broke my big toe almost 4 weeks ago, and although I've broken toes before, it was never my big toe. VERY painful! I "buddy taped" it to the next toe, but I was still suffering from severe pain while wearing any type of regular shoe, mostly due to unconsciously raising the tip of my toe and having it press up against the inside of the shoe box. After 10 days of that, I found this shoe on Amazon. I looked at several other ones that were less expensive, but after reading a lot of the reviews on this shoe I felt that this one would meet my needs the best.I wear a woman's 6.5M, but I ordered a medium instead of a small because numerous reviews stated the shoe was too short in length despite ordering the size that corresponded to their regular shoe size (The width of the shoe is completely adjustable due to the Velcro straps.) When I put the shoe on it was obviously too large, as the tip of my big toe was a good inch from the top, and the first strap actually crossed over my toe, causing more pain instead of less. So I then ordered a small, and it fits perfectly! The tip of my big toe is about 1/4" away from the end of the shoe even while wearing a heavy sock, and the strap crosses where it should.Some reviewers complained that the straps were too long, or that the shoe didn't feel secure. The straps are made long intentionally to accommodate a foot that may be very swollen and/or wrapped in thick bandages. I haven't needed to, but I'm sure, like all other Velcro, the ends of the straps can be trimmed to the desired length.When I put the shoe on, I'm careful to make sure the pieces on top of my foot (under the straps) are overlapped properly and laying flat. Then I carefully fasten the Velcro straps so they are snug but not tight. The shoe feels comfortable and sturdy. I have no problem walking in it at all; in fact, I often forget that I have it on. I only wish I had found this shoe the day I broke my toe instead of 10 days later!

Lifesaver for broken toe
It was almost a week of limping around with a broken small toe. People told me a special shoe wasn't necessary, and the doctor recommended one only if my sneaker was hurting me. But for $30, I felt it worth it to try anyway. And I'm so glad I did. I can now walk without pain and faster than I could limp without it. It protects my toe from accidentally being bumped against objects and even me unconsciously curling it. I even sleep with it now since I was curling my toes during sleep and waking up to pain. Less pain must mean better healing.I would suggest googling the shoe on the manufacturer's web site for a more accurate size chart. The sizes in the description on Amazon didn't match further down in the description, and neither matched the manufacturer's site. I am 8.5" male and it seeems right in between sizes. I ordered the small and it fits perfectly. According to the Amazon description, I should be wearing a medium, so not sure if that would be okay too.

Good shoe, bad customer service
This shoe worked great for my post op toe surgery with a 📍 pin in my toe. I had to use it constantly for 8 weeks. Well the sole cracked on both sides after 6 weeks, and i am still wearing it now at 8 weeks post-op because I need it.I did contact Brace Direct customer support- email twice, phone call once with no response. No response whatsoever from Brace Direct. That is the reason for three stars. Otherwise great product, not sure why mine broke, i’m just a lady in my late 50’s walking around my house, office, and maybe grocery store. The shoe did keep my toes safe.
