A member asked:

I broke the side of my foot. i'm in a boot bit it had my foot at a 90angle. it's stressing me calves. can i adjust the angle of the boot?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possibly: Talk to your doctor. If it's an adjustable boot it should he ok to have a little angle to it. If it's not adjustable then sometimes there are some special wedges that can be placed.
