Definitely broken. Bruising only appeared day after. Agony to walk on heal best. Have an appointment I have to get to next week. Any tips on best way to aid recovery apart from a miracle?

Which foot is it, mine was my clutch foot so I could drive short distances in the crocs, if it had been the other foot it would have been more difficult and I probably wouldn't have been able to

Hi User195376587 it’s the clutch foot too. How soon do you remember? I don’t want to set the injury back by trying too soon.

I broke the two middle ones on my left foot and it took 7 weeks to heal and then another year before they felt completely back to normal. Extremely painful.

About just under a week, you need shoes that are fairly rigid and roomy, I didn't have to drive far, it was about a mile and a half to work so I could go quite slow and not stress my foot. I wouldn't have drove a long journey as crocs aren't that ideal to drive in.

Broken middle toe; glad was checked as X-ray showed it needed to be reset into place before taping. Advised 4-6 weeks, should be fully healed at 6 weeks
