The product, in the report: New Balance 1442 rock and tone sneakers
I work in a doctor’s office as a medical assistant. Which requires quite a bit of walking. The first time I wore these shoes was a couple months ago. In the course of an 8 hour day I had twisted my ankle at least 5 times. Very painful but went home took them off and ignored them for months. Today I decided to try again, maybe I just needed to get use to them. In front of a patient , almost as soon as I started my day, I twisted my ankle again caused entirely by the shoes. I turned it so much that I ended up on all fours on the floor. Now the big toe joint on my left foot has a huge bruise, is swollen, and painful. Working at a doctor’s office I had a nurse and nurse practitioner look at it, and was told to elevate, ice, and to got to the doctor’s if it gets worse. It being a long holiday weekend I am hoping a little ice and elevation will take care of it. But it is very painful and I will have to wait and see if I will end up at the doctor, it is still very much a possibility. I will definitely never wear those shoes again.
