You can walk right away after the nail removal procedure. Due to the fact that a dressing is put on the toe, it is necessary to have open shoes or boots with very wide tips. However, long-term walking should be avoided until the stitches are removed (10-14 days). The foot should be kept above thigh level as often as possible and cold compresses should be applied.
