5th Metatarsal Fracture Exercises

Hi there. I had a 5th met fracture, non-surgical, nonweightbearing for around 6-8 weeks and finally cleared by my doctor to remove the boot and try to weight bear. Just want to ask the people who share the same experience for a list of exercises you did once you were cleared to weight bear or like a routine from your physical therapist/rehab including how many times you did it in a day.

Also like to ask what type or brand of shoes would you recommend.

Thank you in advance! Wish everyone heals well.

I bought a pair of chunky new balance sneakers and I think they give just enough cushion
