Though, we do not advise you folks to wear this right away for a game. The best thing to do is to use it for about 2 days for walking or whatever casual stuff you need to accomplish and then use it for a game on the third day. The reason behind this is because it is a little bit uncomfortable on the toe box on the first day. So just to be safe and to free you from future pain in the foot, walk around with it first.
