A member asked:
Would i get a boot if i had 2 broken toes?

Depends: It will depend on what toes your broke and where on the foot. The xray will determine that. If the toes need to be immobilized during the healing process, a boot or cast may be used.

Depends: If there is no displacement of fractures and you have them tapped or immobilized sometimes a stiff souled shoe can work, otherwise u get a surgical shoe.
