Broke my ankle, in cast 5 weeks, in 2 weeks being placed in walking boot, what is it and can i drive?
Question:
Answers:
A walking boot is like a ski boot from your foot to just below your knee. It is something that you can take on and off to allow you to take a shower. Do not put weight on it without the boot on - you could cause further damage to the area!
If you right foot had the cast on, it would not be a good idea to drive. You can't move your ankle so would be pushing directly from your hip; that will lead to an accident as you won't have the same amount of control. You could drive if it was your left foot. However, I would not advise either. If you were stopped by the police, you could potentially loose your license as you are not fit to drive in their eyes. Also, if you are on any pain medication that may cause drowsiness, you could put yourself at risk of an accident. If the police then did a blood test, you could easily loose your license - really not worth the risk!
Good luck!

its a solid "boot" that covers your foot and goes up to your knee.no you wont unless your pedal foot is the one that isnt broken
A walking boot or "moon boot" is a stabilizer. It usually covers your foot, exposing your toes and goes up your ankle and ends right below the knee. Depending on the leg its on, I don't think you can drive, honestly. They are bulky, hot and clunky.
It is a black boot that goes up to your knee and You can not drive because it is so big.

A walking boot looks similar to a regular boot you might wear during the winter months if you have a lot of snow or ice. They are usually either blue or black in color and they cover your whole foot (except your toes) and can go as high as your knee or just below the knee. Most of them have velcro to close them or some have shoe lace types too. There is usually a piece or two of real steel bars on the sides for additional support of your weight. As for driving a car, that depends. If you broke your right foot, it isn't advisable to drive. You won't be able to feel the pedals too well because the soles of them are much thicker and wider than your shoe would be. But if you broke your left foot, I would imagine you still might, but there again, you may have trouble either way with driving.
Ask your doctor these questions and hopefully he or she could help you with your answers more effectively. Good luck and I hope you recover soon!
It happend to me about a month ago! Well is it on ur right foot? I would suggest not to drive if it is, because the boot is big and is surrounded with metal. :-) hope u heal soon!
