This was probably a very painful situation. He probably fell and hit both feet very hard, with one getting more of the brunt than the other.

So last summer I broke my left foot again. It was weird because it hurt really bad after it happened, then got better, and then got far worse. Cast on, crutches for about the first week, then walking normally for 5 weeks. I even went on vacation. But after many weeks of my better foot picking up the slack, it was sore and achy and I strapped on the CAM boot for a few days before finally getting the cast off.

January 2024, after a midnight run gone wrong. I ended up getting another cast because my foot got all sprained again, and my lower back was also injured. Pardon the mess behind me (and in front of me!) but it's hard to stay organized when you're not on two feet.

Uhhhh ohhhh, somebody got hurt! (me a couple years ago)

WOW! Don't you love that well-worn red boot?! Here is (what I am guessing) is the story behind it... This guy and the guy on the ground are members of a frat-type house where they constantly prank each other. They keep a boot or two around because the pranks sometimes result in foot injuries. There's actually a video out there of this guy stepping on the bare foot of one of the other housemates with the boot, causing him to scream in pain. This is in Australia. Black and gray boots are about all we have to choose from in most countries.

For those of you who like the boots! I will say, these short ones aren't usually good for anything other than broken toes, and even then. Tall boots are always better and give the foot more support. If you have a sprained ankle, don't wear a short boot, it won't heal.

From June 2018 when I broke my right ankle and sprained it really bad at the same time. The break in the bone was not bad but I had a LOT of pain with this injury and I had an MRI too. The doc who put me in this was a new doctor at that time and I later found out that I really should've had a cast but he was one of those doctors who liked booting people up instead of casting them. *I still have this boot and it's in pretty good condition. When I broke my foot last year I wore it for a week before getting a cast, after finding out that it was in fact broken.
