Thanks Nikmcjo! I think I am going to have to get an ortho boot... If I didn't have to leave the house I wouldn't mind just wearing socks, but I have to go out to go to physical therapy several times a week!

I'll keep in mind about getting a large enough size.

The swelling in my foot will go down a little over night, but once I start weight bearing it will heat up, turn red and start swelling.

Oh, and I found some of those soft fuzzy socks that you were talking about! They are so soft and cozy, plus they aren't as constricting as other socks, so they are easier to wear with swollen feet. Also, my foot has a soft red spot on the side sometimes, which my physical therapist is afraid will burst, so I don't want something too rough rubbing my foot/ it'll break open.
