I am due back in hospital this week to re-fix a tibia fracture. The original injury was caused by slipping in mud, the second one was by falling off and landing standing up on my bad foot 4 months after surgery.

I could do with some springy boots to lessen the impact if I fall and land on my feet - anyone know of any?

I think this is a tall order and not even sure such a thing exists but thought it worth asking.

Can you get your surgeon or GP to refer you for physio after the op? If you explain your specific need (safer falling off horses!) they might be able to show you how to build your own springs and relax more. Permanently tense muscles that have been used to compensate for an injury can need some work themselves. Lived with someone who made remarkable progress on this after physio and their injury was 20yrs old!

Failing that you could always try these
bounce shoes

Thanks. Tickles. They look great lol Not sure they would fit in my stirrups though !

I had physio last time and it really helped with movement etc. Maybe I need to be more specific this time and get some psringy exercises.
