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.
They are, in fact, fucking amazing shoes.
Suspect they’ll work for a percentage of victims of this exact injuryy, and I maintain a pair of ripoffs because when I hurt myself, they mostly make it ok enough that I have a workaround.
Was intro to Birks at maybe 10yo, as soon as my feet figured out “different, but more than ok,” I was/remain a fan.
Might not be the place for soap to start out of the gate, but def useful long term.
