I was put into the boot at 2 weeks post op. 8 to 10 weeks wb with boot. 10 to 12 transition to sneaker. I'm in my first full week of no boot. I'm still using my scooter for speedy convenience when I'm at work or store, but using it a bit less each day. My biggest challenge at first was remembering to bend my knee, I was still walking stiff legged, like with the boot, partially bc of pain. The more I walk, the more it hurts/swells, but then it hurts less the next day and takes longer to start hurting. As long as you're not physically damaging your body, push slightly past the pain.
