Is it better to sleep with boot after bunion surgery?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Yes,: More important than sleeping with the boot is to have your leg elavated, that keeps the swelling down.The boot keeps the swelling down by the pressure on your leg.

Bunion : It is a good idea if you think you might wake to use the rest room and forget to put the boot on.

YES: I treat a boot like a fiberglass cast. Thus, wear it at night.
