A member asked:
What is the best shoe to walk in after a 5th metatarsal break has healed? boat shoes, boots, tennis shoes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Shoes: Anything with a good durable sole. The flimsier the shoe, the less supportive and shock absorbing it is. Often, you get what you pay for with shoes so the better quality ones are the way to go.
