@gmarosie AYE! My daughter did the same yesterday and was very sore last night. Since we are "shoes free" household, years ago my PT told me to have supportive "house shoes" that do not go outdoors, not just slippers with soles. When I break that rule, I trip, slip, fall, and get a sore back, hips, legs...just a thought, but to support your recovery, maybe consider shoes on all hard surfaces?

@sueinmn how about wearing non-slip sox like they give us at the hospital ? Amazon has them.

Easy Spirit clogs are comfortable to wear both inside and outside. They have sneaker-like thick molded soles and memory foam cushion insoles. Helpful with keeping balance when walking.
