I was in a soft cast (boot) for four weeks and while it was indeed better and less painful to walk while wearing it, after four weeks I could not see any difference. I wore this boot 24 hours a day except in the shower. Maybe six weeks would have helped, I don't know. I hate to sound the negative note and truly hope that this will work for you. I recently read an article by a podiatrist that claimed that no matter what we do, the injury takes about a year to heal in most cases. But, on reading this site about those who have been suffering 3 and 4 years I am convinced I need to try everything possible and go with those things that at least seem to be helping.
