I broke my ankle and leg in October and had to have hardware put in. My ankle has one screw and two tightrope devices.
I’m at the point where I’m back to my normal routine aside from the one day a week I do physical therapy. I’m coming to realize that literally none of the shoes I own are not comfortable anymore. They all make my ankle feel worse and do not expand enough when my foot swells up.
In addition to Hoka I really like my Altra shoes. They have a wide toebox so if your foot swelling is most of a problem around there then that should help. The paradigms I have also have metal support beams in the shoe to prevent your foot from rolling around which may help.
My mom loves Altra shoes. Her feet are weird and her one ankle is all fucked up from two bothed reconstruction surgeries. She said they’re the only shoes that don’t hurt. She doesn’t have hardware like I do and had very different surgery than me, however. I’ll see if I can try her pair on sometime and see how they fit. We’re the same size, conveniently lol
