Is a high or low top boot better for a 2nd metatarsal fracture? And air pump or not?

Have you been to a doctor? Dont know how bad it is.I broke my little toe and wore the boot.But every break is different. If your doctor tells you to wear a boot this one is good.

Low top. The high top is less comfortable and not needed. Pump works great makes perfect fit.

This is made out of a flexible plastic, so NO, it would not be acceptable to use this in place of a boot which provides stability and support.

My twins have a wider foot and started in this boot. It was not the right boot for them. I would look at the Jackson boots since they are made a bit wider. Jackson makes a great skate at comparable price for beginner skaters as well and they have a much softer top.

This was very useful to me when I broke my ankle. I had a cast up to my knee and had no problems with it. I wear a ladies size 10 shoe, if size has anything to do with cast size. If you wear a men's 12, it my be difficult.

There is a noticeable height difference. I wore it for a torn calf muscle. It served its purpose but it is uneven when wearing regular tennis shoes on your good foot.

Either one is sufficient (they both work equally well), but my Mother had the one with the hand pump and I couldn't use it due to the type/location of my back injury, but I was in fact able to use the foot pump with no problems. I guess it depends on your injury?(I hope this helps)

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.

My ankle sprain seemed high but extended only to my front lower shin. I wanted a boot that was supportive but not too large, tall, or heavy. This boot was amazing for me. It actually saved me from an additional sprained ankle when my foot started to roll on uneven concrete. The boot restrained ankle movement.

You can get it for either foot. You just have to choose. This one was not comfortable to me at all. I ended up going with Neo G Medical Grade Super Soft Bunion correction system - Right which has been most comfortable.

The idea is to keep the foot stretched out all night so that when you wake up, you don't re-injure it when you get up on your feet in the morning - so I would definitely recommend TWO boots. Also, key to recovery is KEEPING it stretched out all day - check out The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution for more on that.

I wear 7.5 medium women shoe. The balance held thick sole shoe tennis shoes but not thinner sole. My tennis shoe or my boot did not align with my non-injured foot for ended up off balance. I tried wearing with thinner sole but it was loose and became a safety hazard. If you get free return and don't mind hassle of returning, it might be worth the time. Overall, I was disappointed for returning it was not worth the money and I did not use it. If your in north coastal San Diego county, you could have mine.

They seem to hold up pretty well with heavy, daily abuse. I would give them 2 years tops, but hey it's way cheaper that what the doctor wanted to prescribe. Once you get the first pair, they will send you a promotion to buy more at a discounted rate....If they seem to work for you(give it a week to break it and notice the difference) get more so you minimize the wear on one. It also depends on you body weight, extent or extremity of use and type/purpose of footwear.

This is an inexpensive boot. If you are looking for really superior support, I would recommend Alpinestars.

You can use this on either foot. I am only using it on my foot that has the crooked toes, and it does support them. I only regret that I did not order at least two, to alternate when cleaning.

Sorry, this not gel, it has a leather covering. It helps the met but I think you would need even more support if it is dislocated. Find a good foot doc. it will be worth it, we only have one set of feet. Got to take good care of them.

The Strutz Pro has a wider, fatter cushion. Sole angel seems better for ball of foot pain and smaller. I prefer the Pro hands down. Hint: Keep one to wash and one to wear.
