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.
I have knee issues and have had variable success with dansko, hoka, brooks, karhu and taos. Orthotics help a lot in most shoes. Without orthotics, the Taos currently feel the best. I have a friend who had a severe foot/ankle injury - car accident on a mountain and almost lost a foot because it was stuck under the brake pedal when they pulled her out of the back of her SUV. She wears Clarks and new balance.
