Question 1

what are the best walking shoes for ankle pain?

Accepted Answer

Whatever feels best: For arthritic conditions, a shoe with a cushioned heel and rocker sole such as a running shoe work well.  For unstable ankles, a shoe with a broader base and more ankle support (light weight hiking boot). Ultimately, whatever shoe produces the least amount of pain is a good choice.

Question 2

what are best shoes to wear after a broken ankle, for both safety and to minimize swelling? any tips appreciated!

Accepted Answer

Broken ankle: After recovery from a healed broken ankle, finding a supportive shoe is important.  Not necessarily high tips but one that doesn't breakdown easily.  I always recommend running type shoes because they are usually made with sturdier material compared to other shoes.  Take the heel and twist, the less twisting, breakage, the better, also repeat with toe bend (less the better).  Replace every 3-500mi.

Foot drop: A boot can be helpful otherwise a tennis shoe or dress shoe that can accommodate an ankle foot orthosis (afo), assist in normalizing gait by helping to eliminate high stoppage gait or circumduction of the "relatively" long leg and help prevent you catching your toes or forefoot as you advance your leg while walking.

Shoes and foot drop: If there is a diagnosis of foot drop present, before a shoe recommendation is given, the patient must have the condition managed by bracing of the affected foot. Other treatments, including surgery may be available if warranted, but a thorough examination of the lower extremity must be done first by a podiatrist or foot and ankle specialist.
