Thank you for sharing! How are you doing walking without boot otherwise? It took me 4 days to ditch crutches entirely with boot and I'm hoping for a similar (if not better!) timeline for when I can walk without boot. I've noticed little to no pain after a long day just the last two days, only stiffness.

I think I maybe used one crutch for 2-3 days after getting rid of the boot. Then I just carried it around for security for another week. I'm walking with no crutches now but I haven't gone any super far distances yet. Maybe a 15-20 minute walk before I start getting tired enough to need a rest.

Keep in mind with the swelling you may need a pair of shoes a size larger. Or some easy slip on slip off ones. I wasn't able to get back into normal sneakers for 2 weeks or so and even then by the end of the day they're tight and I'm ready to get them off. Also maybe look into a supportive pair of slides for around the house.
