SIZING, ADAPTATION & REPAIR NOTES: SIZING: Hubby's shoe size is 10D & the Large in this boot fit well WITH very thick foot wrapping from toe tips to above the ankle. That may need to be considered when sizing. TO LENGTHEN STRAPS, IF NECESSARY: Because of the thick foot wrapping, we had to add a 3/4" wide (velcro)/hook & loop strip onto the front (velcro) strap of the boot to make it long enough to reach and adhere to the velcro on opposite side. It was a very easy, inexpensive and successful fix that took about 30 seconds to accomplish. The boot's back strap was long enough without being lengthened even though the thick wrapping extended above the ankle. I already had the roll of hook & loop tape on hand for other uses, got it on Amazon several yrs ago. Here's the same thing: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YXPQZWN/ref=sspa_dk_detail_9?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07YXPQZWN&pd_rd_w=nQ7ly&pf_rd_p=7d37a48b-2b1a-4373-8c1a-bdcc5da66be9&pd_rd_wg=8Q3B3&pf_rd_r=9ZD574VYPZB3Q15REBH1&pd_rd_r=f12eba27-c879-4d4a-8cbe-88b480bcce3c&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEySDhUSUNHNDM3STI1JmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUExMDE5OTc2M0FZQVRJV0Q3MTVPUiZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUEwNjQ2ODEwM0xGTjFJQUhZNEkzNiZ3aWRnZXROYW1lPXNwX2RldGFpbCZhY3Rpb249Y2xpY2tSZWRpcmVjdCZkb05vdExvZ0NsaWNrPXRydWU= TO REPAIR STRAP, IF NECESSARY: I glanced a review picture that shows where the glue on the buckle-end of a boot strap had let loose. In our experience, this is not unusual for these ortho devices, especially if they get heavy use. While it didn't happen for us on this particular boot, it HAS happened on the straps of two other types of ortho foot devices hubby has, in the same place, where the buckle (or D-ring) connects to the strap. There is alot of strain in that area, and an inexpensive, easy fix for this has been SUPER GLUE. Place the buckle/D ring back where it was so that the strap can fold over it. Put some Super Glue on one side of the fold-over, squeeze it back together and hold it tightly in place for a minute or so until the glue is completely set/dry. If the strap isn't long enough to fold over and hold the buckle in place, we've had luck gluing in a longer pc of strap to hold the buckle. Necessity stirs initiative if given a chance. REVIEW: I found this boot for hubby after he had surgery on the large front ball of his foot, had his pinky toe amputated and his big toe surgically straightened. Recovery has been long, and he was no-weight-bearing for the first 7 wks. The problems stemmed from a previous injury, 4 yrs ago, so he already had the other equipment he needed, like a knee scooter, etc., but I bought this for him so that those few steps he had to take when going from scooter to the chair, bed, toilet, etc, wouldn't require him to put any weight on the front of that foot. This was THE PERFECT SOLUTION! In fact, he ended up using the boot (and his foot) more than he maybe should have, being quite active due to boredom and having this boot to keep the front of his foot completely off the ground and, therefore, bearing no weight. I was rather regretting that I'd bought it for awhile, afraid the activity would cause problems with healing, but the boot prevented that from happening, it held up wonderfully to alot of wear and tear, the surgeon was quite impressed, and it was well worth every penny of the $25 cost! Because the initial injury has greatly affected hubby's gait, which, in turn, has serious consequences for both feet, this will not be the end of the surgeries. This boot has provided one more tool to make it easier for hubby to get through these difficult procedures. It made the 7 weeks of no-weight-bearing go by much faster and easier, with less chance of inhibiting the healing process and less emotional stress than what would've been without it.
