Talk to your doctor: Usually the surgical shoe is meant to accomodate the dressing. Ask your doctor if you could use an old sneaker that could be cut open instead. Depending on the type of procedure done, that may be fine.

See below: The shoe is there for protection of your toe after surgery. The shoe may be cloddy but it is needed. If a real problem for you then use crutches.
