I've read on these boards from people who have said the BrooksBeast athletic shoe is the one to get post toe fusion. I've checked online and don't seem to find it in womens. Has anyone found this shoe in womens if so where? Thx.

i suggest going to a store that caters to runners for a proper fitting. This may not be the right show for your foot. After my two foot surgeries, I went to a local place, The Trak Shak, to get fitted. they had me walk barefoot on the bare concrete so they could see how my foot strikes the floor, pronation, etc. Then they gave me 3 choices - a Saucony, a Nike and a Brooks. I liked the feel of the Saucony the best and it's the one I've continued to use. And also remember that you should get your running shoes a full size to size and a half larger than you normally wear in a dress shoe.
