Yes: When patients are given walking boots or fracture shoes they are typically allowed to shower or bathe as long as there are no open wounds on the skin. Follow all doctors instructions for your best results and quickest healing!

Ask your Doctor..: Generally yes, but not knowing the particulars about the nature of the fracture, I would think that asking your doctor might be the best action.
