The Ted Baker dress looks gorgeous on you. So sorry about the accident and the six weeks. . . .

When I had to wear a Frankenboot, I noticed that the slightest discrepancy in height between my legs gave me horrible, horrible hip pain. I suggest getting a variety of thicknesses of heel lifts and experimenting with any and all footwear that might be the correct height. The Shellys London Bea worked the best for me, and luckily the weather at that time was warm enough for me to wear a sandal. (I have Reynaud's in my toes so I have to be pretty careful about going bare toed.) Tell your skinnies, "See ya later," and break out the cropped flares.

Your Ted a baker dress is so becoming. I'm sorry for your foot troubles and hope that you find some shoe solutions that help the healing.

The dress is gorgeous and a fabulous fit. I think it looks great with the sneakers.
It's a shame that you have to wear a moon boot for 6 weeks. I'm sure you'll still look stylish but as you mentioned you won't be planning your outfit from your shoes for a while.

Thanks for the shoe suggestions. It seems that my Ron White patent leather lug sole Navy loafers will work. I'm testing them out around the house. I hope it's true because they're closed toe and would work with most everything.

I have some Shellys London sandals so I will try those too. The more options the better. I think I will go crazy if I have to spend six weeks wearing the same shoe!

Your outfit is lovely! I'm so sorry about your foot. I would also be upset about trying to plan outfits around a boot and stuck in the same shoes for six weeks. Ugh. I hope that you heal well and time goes quickly for you...

Sorry for your injury. I spent months in the Frankenboot after ankle fracture and complications. I found the Brooks Addiction sneakers to be the right height for the ortho boot. They are stabilizing with a thick sole. Clunky by design, but kept me comfortable and even. As I was non-weight bearing for some of the time, I needed a shoe that did the work of two. Zappos has them in black and white. Don't risk that other foot. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

You rock that Ted Baker dress!

Thanks Eliza, there's an excellent running store nearby where I can try the Brooks. I have used Brooks shoes before for running, but I'm not sure about the Addiction. I'm sure they will have some thick soled shoes and walking shoes too. I should have thought of them.

Good morning, Staysfit. How is the ankle?

Good morning Sterling, my foot is still swollen, it hurts still, maybe a bit less, but I'm getting around the house. I'm getting reacquainted with crutches. I have been icing it like crazy. I might try to venture out of the house today for a bit. I want to find some better sneakers to use with the boot. I like the idea of the Brooks, or maybe high top wedges? Something other than what I'm using now which are platform sandals. My gait is too awkward.

What a beautiful dress! Sorry about the injury and the frankenboot. High tops sound supportive. All the best.

Oh gosh staysfit, I'm so sorry about that ankle/foot injury. Please take care of it. I pray it heals well.

Good idea to investigate shoes (a shoe) that will match it in terms of heel height. It doesn't take many Physio appointments for your wrecked hips to pay for a new pair of shoes!

Oh, and you look amazing in that Ted Baker dress. Amazing.

Oww!!! I just saw this thread. The outfit is AMAZING - I'm rarely taken by pricier brands, but Ted Baker florals are so gorgeous. Love it with the shoes, and that's the perfect dress cardi.

And then you hurt your foot! What a bummer! I rolled my ankle badly once (missed a step and landed on the side/top of my foot) but it wasn't really injured. I wish it had been the same for you. And I really hope you find some more shoe options that will help you get around easier.

What about a shoe with a fit flop shoe bottom? The rocking gait may mimic the boot.

Foot still hurts today but I'm on the way out the door. I'm heading to the shoe store and the post office.

Just back to say that if you ever need help finding a shoe to match an orthopedic boot and don't mind wearing a sneaker. Head to your local running store. If you have a Fleet Feet, you're in luck! They know their shoes and soles very well. Rockerbottom boot! Rockerbottom shoe! My feet feel pretty much the same now when I take a step and my hips hurt much less!

I'm not saying my foot doesn't hurt. That foot still hurts! Wow! Torn ligaments and fascia are much worse than broken bones! Much worse! (PAIN!)

ETA: I already scratched my boot! It isn't dirt. I tried to clean it off. In 6 weeks this thing is going to look increasingly shabby. I may temporarily adopt a RATE look to match the boot.

Good work on getting a shoe that works so well. I'm sorry to hear of your injury - under those circumstances! I hope you recover quickly.

Thanks Helen11! So far these shoes are great!

Staysfit, now's your chance! You need a pair of those Teva x Uggs, stat. They even come in gray.

So glad you found a good pair of sneakers, and I'm so sorry to hear about your injury (torn ligaments are extremely painful -((( Do take care and rest that foot as often as possible. Holding thumbs for a 100% recovery.
Oh yes, your floral dress is divine!

Oh, I just noticed that this happened. That must be tough from the very active person perspective as well as the fashion perspective.
