"Item itself was fine. It was too large, however." Read more
"This is a good shoe. I have a 5.5 or 6 shoe so length wise the xxsmall was perfect. But it was too wide for me, even wearing a sock...." Read more
"excellent product" Read more
Customers like the functionality of the shoe. They say it works well with their soft cast and provides good toe support.
"...quality, comfortable as it can be under the circumstances, and does the job. Wish I had gotten this one first. It is a bit wide...." Read more
"6th day of wearing this shoe after cheilectomy surgery. It is working out good...." Read more
"...This one is lighter, and does the job well. This is the one I wear in the house...." Read more
"Broke my toe, this worked great. The adjustable strap made it easy to adjust the fit as the swelling went done...." Read more
Customers appreciate the toe shield's protection for their toes. It keeps their toes from bumping into anything, allowing them to heal properly.
"...Of note they are supposed to protrude enough to protect the toe. You don't want it to end at your toes like a normal shoe...." Read more
"...It did the job for my broken toe and kept it protected. The boot was light weight and comfortable." Read more
"...front of the sole, because that would allow them to bend, and not provide protection. Certainly would recommend." Read more
"...I wear size 9 and it sticks out enough to protect my toes. If I have another foot surgery I will repurchase." Read more
Customers have different experiences with the fit of the brace. Some find it fits well with about 1/2 inch of room, and is wide enough to extend over their toes. Others say it's too large, with too much space in the toe area, or too narrow for their feet. The toe shape can be square and easy to hit by accident.
"...As you can see from my uploaded image, the medium fits me just right with about 1/2 inches of room to spare for toe protection while wearing a pair..." Read more
"...Wish I had gotten this one first. It is a bit wide. I am split between a regular and wide size so perhaps this is wider than usual...." Read more

"...I wear a women’s 81/2-9 shoe and I ordered a medium. It was too big and wide but I was able to add padding to the sides...." Read more
Customers have different views on the build quality of the shoe. Some find it functional and durable, with sturdy straps keeping their feet secure. Others mention it's not as sturdy, feels very stable, and starts coming apart after a few weeks. The "rocker" sole is non-existent, and there is poor stitching and thin fabric.
"...Don't fuss around with others like I did. This one is well made, quality, comfortable as it can be under the circumstances, and does the job...." Read more
"...shower properly when one foot is basically unusable making one's balance unsteady!..." Read more
"...While the quality is ok (not the fanciest/best made but definitely not the cheapest), it runs extremely small...." Read more
"...surgery and I have been wearing this for 3 weeks now and it still is holding up...." Read more
Customers have mixed opinions about the support provided by the brace. Some find it provides good support and protection for their foot without putting stress on their toes. They appreciate the better arch support than the "Pro" version and the straps that help with area injuries. Others mention the footbed is very firm, even hard, with zero arch support. The sole flexes a little, but not enough to hurt anything.
"My husband had Lymphadema after cancer treatment, and this helps keep him mobile. It expands to fit his medical wraps and swelling...." Read more
"...The base is also somewhat firm. I have incisions on the bottom and back of my heel that needs some cushion for comfort...." Read more
"...gotten this one from the start it is easy to put on and stable to walk in and do steps!" Read more
"The straps make it for well according to area injuries. I was able to go from a knee level medical boot to this item and safely walk...." Read more
Customers find the strap length too long. They say it's too wide and not made for long, skinny feet. The adjustable strap is difficult to work with and the heel height is too high. Some customers mention the velcro straps are poor quality or need double-sided pieces. Overall, the platform is higher than traditional shoes.
"...As some have noted, the straps are quite long. After wearing it for a while, I found a comfortable tightness and cut the straps accordingly...." Read more
"...The straps are not long enough to go around a hard cast...." Read more
"...Velcro on ankle strap and toe coverage flap stays secure. Never loosens on its own...." Read more
"...With four layers of wrapping it fits great with width, just too long. Standing in picture. Will return for smaller size." Read more

- Reviewed in the United States on August 2, 2024Size: SmallVerified PurchaseUPDATE: Love it! Get this one!!! I have tried several other brands and had to return them. Some cheaper, some similar price. Had big problems with every one of them and this one if just about perfect! Don't fuss around with others like I did. This one is well made, quality, comfortable as it can be under the circumstances, and does the job. Wish I had gotten this one first. It is a bit wide. I am split between a regular and wide size so perhaps this is wider than usual. But I'm not in bandages anymore. If one is still wearing bandages the width would be good. When I do the top strap the part that says "Vive" the edge hits the ground a little. I don't care because it works and I'm not wearing it as a fashion statement. Don't shop around. It is just not worth the trouble and agony. Get this one!!! It's better than the first one the surgeon put on.
did read sizing directions carefully and it is just too big. Really disappointing because it looks like a good boot. So I am returning this one and ordering a size smaller. I did not actually try on the one I got because I think that may void return policy. But I matched it up to the boot I am currently wearing (It's worn out) and this one is much bigger. Of note they are supposed to protrude enough to protect the toe. You don't want it to end at your toes like a normal shoe. Still too big, but the quality looked good enough that I am trying again. My 4 stars is based one perceived quality based on visual inspection. Will update my review after I receive replacement.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 3, 2019Size: MediumVerified PurchaseAfter dislocating and breaking a couple toes and consequently being unable to walk without serious pain, I purchased this Vive walking shoe after a recommendation. I didn't hold much hope for it helping, but I was willing to try anything that would allow me to walk upstairs to my bathroom or go to the grocery store with less pain. Seriously, I had tears running down my face from pain when I went to the store before ordering this shoe, and it's not like I was wearing heels or some other ill-thought footwear when I went to pick up milk and fruit! I couldn't stand long enough to cook, really, or even get my mail from the mailbox during this time. Desperate for food a few days after breaking my toes I ordered a pizza. The kind delivery woman could see that I could barely stand to take the box and asked if I was okay, and I told her about my foot. She said "you should be wearing a boot!" I thanked her for the advice, and got on Amazon.com immediately after eating a few slices. Lots of boots to choose from on Amazon, in a wide array of price ranges. Since I had only broken a few toes, I decided a full boot was probably not necessary and narrowed it down to this Vive shoe and another, both of which had good reviews, and decided on the Vive.
I purchased the Medium size which states in the description that it fits a US Women's shoe size of 8.5 to 10 I generally wear a US Women's size 8 or 8 1/2 depending on the shoe. As you can see from my uploaded image, the medium fits me just right with about 1/2 inches of room to spare for toe protection while wearing a pair of cushioned but not very thick socks. I recommend that if you wear a US Woman's size above 8 1/2 that you order a large. It may be a little big but you want to protect your toes - you wouldn't believe how many times I've inadvertently bumped my foot into things while going about my business, and this walking shoe saved me from both serious pain and perhaps further damaging my toes.
I've only had this walking shoe for about 10 days and have worn it constantly when not sleeping or showering, and I'd wear it in the shower too if I had purchased two so that one would always be dry. It's pretty difficult to shower properly when one foot is basically unusable making one's balance unsteady!
Since I had only ordered one shoe, I've been wearing a crocs on my other foot for balance although any shoe with a height of about 1 inch would work, or maybe even an athletic shoe. For me, my fuzz lined crocs shoe works because I can easily walk in them with socks and the height is right while also providing a similar sole feel as the Vive walking shoe. I haven't had any problems with the sole cracking as some reviews have stated, but I'm not really putting the shoe or my foot through the ringer. As I stated, it's been about 10 days of wearing it in the house, out for errands, walking the dog, and while working out daily. I'm super happy with this purchase, and if by some chance it does break before I'm healed I would just order another one at this price point.
As some have noted, the straps are quite long. After wearing it for a while, I found a comfortable tightness and cut the straps accordingly. The two lower straps, the one over the toes and the one over the arch, have a piece of velcro that can be removed and replaced where needed. If I had one complaint it would be that the top strap closest to the ankle does not have this removable velcro. I've just been kind of tucking the excess under so that it doesn't snag on things.
Overall, I'm super happy with this purchase. Great product!

- Reviewed in the United States on March 4, 2025Size: MediumVerified PurchaseThe boot was a bit too large. I wear a women’s 81/2-9 shoe and I ordered a medium. It was too big and wide but I was able to add padding to the sides. It is nice that you can use the Velcro to open from either the left or right side. It did the job for my broken toe and kept it protected. The boot was light weight and comfortable.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 23, 2025Size: SmallVerified Purchase6th day of wearing this shoe after cheilectomy surgery. It is working out good. I purchased the M. I compared the Vive to one other similar product from Amazon. I went with the Vive because it felt more comfortable and it was long enough to extend over my toes to keep the weight of sheets/blankets at night. I have medium arches and often wear comfort shoes in the house. Right now I am wearing a shoe on the other foot to balance the height of the thick sole of the Vive. That thick sole makes it quite soft and comfortable. The velco to adjust around my toe area is generous for my medium width foot. The velcro at ankle needs to be trimmed with scissors to remove excess length. My foot length is is approx. 9.5".

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential post operative item for feet!
Size: SmallVerified PurchaseHopefully most won't be in need of this item but following a rather unfortunate accident involving my hallux ( big toe) which was in incarcerated in plaster, this shoe proved a life saver. Even after plaster removal normal shoe wear was impossible for many weeks. Okay its not a fashion item but who cares when limping around. The straps are totally adjustable with Velcro. Fits snuggly and comfortably. Not suitable for driving though. Hopefully I will not be needing this again but it stays safely in the back of the wardrobe in case. Not just for silly accidents either, post operative foot surgery patients will benefit from this shoe. Well worth the price.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job
Size: SmallVerified PurchaseBought for an elderly lady with badly swollen feet and is resident in a care home so not much walking involved. Only had for 2wks so cannot comment on durability. Some review(s) have indicated sole of the sandal can split but would depend on usage conditions. The lady has found it comfortable with the adjustable straps. The sizing was confusing but managed to get the right one first time. As the returns experience on this does not appear to look good on reviews.
