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.
There are specific orthopedic shoes for people who have foot/ankle issues. Usually a shoe brand will proudly put it on their branding that they are ortho approved. My favorite shoes are Oofos just because they are so plush and soft. Not sure if they will work on your feet though.
I have trouble with things that are too hard, like going barefoot, and things that are too soft, like the new balance sneakers I wore when I had to wear a small brace after coming out of a walking boot. I used to love wearing minimal stuff on my feet, but I can’t do it now. I’m hoping to be able to get to that point again some day
