Hopefully they gave you a shoe with a rocker bottom. If they did, let the shoe do the work. After a little practice, you will be walking almost as well as you did before the cast. Your ankle will be quite stiff when you get out of the cast. Get physical therapy if you have trouble walking after you get out of your cast. I've had a walking cast twice, and both times I had to re-learn how to walk after the cast was removed, and both times I required physical therapy and electrical stimulation (for ankle pain after cast).Best of luck!
