Does anybody have any suggestions for an ice pack for your foot after the Surgery?

Does anybody have any suggestions for an ice pack for your foot after the Surgery? I found one that is a slipper with no back you can just slide on your foot, but it's very heavy and I think it will hurt too much to use. I'm thinking the best ice pack might be one you can wrap around your foot and lightly secure. Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated.

I ordered the ice pack slipper but honestly a regular ice pack behind my knee was the best thing!

I’m 12 days post surgery and sometimes use the slipper ice pack for a few minutes. First week after surgery my dr said nothing on the incision area only the ankle. Mostly I use a large one that’s very soft and I wrap it around my ankle with a strap.

I used an ice machine behind my knee. It alternates on again off again on its own and I did not have to get up to get new ice packs, or set an alarm through the night.

Behind the knee is great until you are able to put an ice pack on your foot. I have slipper ones and still use them when my foot swells. It odes the top and the bottom which I need to

Behind the knee is where you need to use the ice pack, helps tremendously.

I used a soft I pack and tied it around my foot with an ace bandage that I cut in half!!!(on both feet…2 surgeries )

My surgeon was clear- no ice on healing bones. Direct eyes delays healing. I used the NICE 24/7 iceless ice wrap for a week and now use these easy wraps. Ice the back of your knee for soothing cool blood flow not directly on your foot until 3 months. I had minor MiS big toe and bunion shave. Walked out of surgery.
