Shoes for an Air Cast?

[FormerCityGirl]

I just got this thing yesterday and it only fits with a pair of Nikes that are a size larger than what I wear, but I don't want to spend the rest of the summer in running shoes. Most of my flip flops won't work either since the straps go back to far and they won't stay on. They think I tore a ligament. Any suggestions of something that will go on over this thing?



I'm thinking I need a sandal or something dressy to wear for our Anniversary and to go out in that night.

A) I'm sorry you hurt yourself. Nothing some wine can't fix
B) Beddazle the shit out of that thing
C) Happy anniversary!

Thansk Birk! I may bedazzle after I see the opthopedist since he's probably giving me a real cast and this will be gone shortly. I've got 12 days until the anniversary date and I refuse to wear Nike's for it. It's also probably cancelled my autocross plans since it's on my right foot and that shit pisses me of fiercely. I love track time and it's rare that I get to do it! I don't think they'll let me out in a cast.

These aren't cheap, but I love them.
Mephisto Sydel sandals. They are comfy and cute. They come in different colors. Zappos is also a great place to get them.

That being said, your doc might want your footed supported in the back of the heel. Flip flops and sandals can cause strain b/c of the "flip" motion. (if that makes sense) Granted, I wear stuff like this all the time, but my sister can wear these b/c the docs don't want her to.

Honestly, I'd just wear the appropriate footwear - i.e. supportive sneakers.

Thanks for the suggestions!

I had an air cast a few years ago for a stress fracture and I got a pair of moccasins. They weren't the cutest, but worked.

Oh the lovely aircast! I have one from the many times I've sprained my ankles. Typically, I just wore my sneakers (puma) with the laces tied really loosely and it seemed to work. I had one on for my 21st birthday and I wore some hideous flat clogs, but I was wearing long wide-leg pants, so you couldn't really tell, LOL.

You may try paging Greg'sLittleWifey. I don't know if she has the same cast, but she's been rocking some sort of ankle brace for a few months. She may be able to give you some specific recs.

Thanks! I thought she was, but I haven't seen her around lately.
