Hi everyone, I'm 3 1/2 months post-total fusion and am in an ankle brace and wearing Hoka shoes with a stabilization insert for now.  My swelling is persistent but manageable.  I am an otherwise healthy and active 60 yr. old with normal range BMI.  Has anyone found shoes they LOVE, or perhaps inserts that can be put into different shoes over time?  Thanks!

I have found a sketchers in wide work well for me. Super stable and have a lot of cushion. Since my latest TTC fusion ( 2nd one)
My foot got wider.

I have found that any running or walking shoe with good support works well.  Right now I am wearing New Balance when I take my walks.  I am 4 years post fusion surgery and, other than some numbness in the toes, am doing very well.

Cool, thanks Chuck!  They are less expensive than the Hoka’s and I’ve worn men’s shoes before so I may check them out.

They sell women’s shoes as well. They have wide and extra wide in this particular shoe. I got 2 for 1 last November. They always have sales.  The normal foot slips in but I still have to ‘help’ my fused foot get in the shoe. They last quite awhile as well. 

Cheers
