Bear in mind I am recovering from a broken foot and my Crocs are so comfortable, would it be totally WRONG to wear these to work?

how unacceptable on a scale of 1 to 10 - 1 = laughably horrific, 10 = a neat and stylish way to accommodate permanently aching foot?

A 2?

But that doesn't mean you shouldn't wear them to work. They look like medical shoes. They are medical shoes.

Will a ballet slipper type thing not work?

Yes, they look medical. Highly greyly medical.

Vans? Or similar slip-on gym shoe type thing. Actually that might look a bit mad.

I have lots of slip on type shoes but they are not comfortable yet

I have bought them anyway, they are bloody comfortable as they are all moulded inside so it supports your meta thingy watsit thing.

Comfort more important than anything.

Um

Do they come in another colour than the medical grey? That's why the consultant was so approving, he thinks Osteo shoes fashionable. He thinks white coats a good look. They're all like this.

hoh yes cod, it was completely fracked. Broken in three places.

Still, all bones have healed nicely but there are still a few hairline cracks, I have to walk on it as much as poss to encourage bone to grow.

Woman that wears them at dds school wears them with everything.

I actually thought they were just plain ballet pumps.
She also has the grey colour.

I hope your foot gets better soon!
