If you have a broken bone in your foot or ankle, your doctor may put a cast on it to hold the bone in place while it heals. But you may be wondering if you can request a boot instead. The answer is maybe. It depends on the type of injury you have and what your doctor recommends. A boot is often used for fractures that are not as severe as those that require a cast. A boot also allows you to move your foot and ankle more than a cast does. This can be helpful if you need to keep your foot and ankle from getting

This Walking Boot is ideal for a stress fracture, sprained ankle, broken foot or broken toe. It features an ultralight design and an inflatable air cushion for the perfect balance of comfort and orthopedic support.
Superior Support and Comfort - Our design provides orthopedic protection on all sides of the ankle and leg. Some competitive products don't to provide protection to the back of the leg. The inflatable air cushion allows the wearer to customize the fit to their foot. Our high-tech sole features: 1) an air pillow in the heel for extra cushioning, 2) a two pattern super-grip tread, and 3) a rounded "rocker" shape to make walking easier.
Ultralight Weight - The lightweight polypropylene design reduces walking fatigue. Competitive walker boots are often constructed of heavy materials like steel and nylon. If you compare the weight of our design to our competitors you'll see the difference. Some competitors don't even publish the weight of their products.
Maximum Convenience - The built in pump allows a patient to easily customize the fit of the boot at any time. Many competitive products require you to carry a separate hand pump.
Wide Range of Sizes - Small (Men 4-7 & Women 6-8), Medium (Men 7-10 & Women 8-11) Large (Men 10-12 & Women 11-13), and X-Large (Men 12 and up & Women 13 and up). If you are between sizes we recommend you buy the larger size. Universal design – will fit either left or right foot.

This footwear is amazing. I still maintain a very active lifestyle and work six days a week at a QS restaurant despite my injury. The boot the doctor provided me was too big for me. When I first saw this, I asked, "What the hell?". This boot is quite robust and has a good amount of traction. Due to the high level of activity I still maintain, the only issue I've had is that it has a tendency to lose some of its air over the course of the day (which I was really expecting and have had in other boots). I can't emphasise to you all enough how worth the money and value this boot is!

Don't be fooled by this boot's ridiculously low price—a it's fantastic boot! If not exactly the same, it is built well enough to compare to mid-priced boots. Who cares if it doesn't have a nice name?I actually purchased TWO boots from Amazon (including this one, obviously), but the one that was advertised as being "low profile" wasn't at all! Additionally, it cost more than twice as much as this one. Low Profile Boot, on the other hand, featured a really attractive elegant label, a powerful movie showcasing the technology, important-looking images, and solid claims that it was the same height as a sneaker. It promoted a rounder bottom as well. I only used it indoors for two weeks before the bottom, which had a rounder bottom and was quite slippery, started to peel off.The truth is that Low Profile simply appeared lower from the outside. It looks lower thanks in part to the rocker bottom. In actuality, it is perhaps 1-2 centimeters lower than this boot. Additionally, it was really unpleasant. My calves weren't well covered by the inside sleeve, and there was something that dug into the inside of my ankle, precisely where my incision was. In the two weeks that I used the Low Profile Boot exclusively for around-the-house use, the two tiny bits of foam wore out quickly.This footwear is quite cozy. There are four foam pads that are thicker and hold up pretty well, and it doesn't dig in any one spot. I've used this boot both inside and outside the house. withstands very harsh use quite well.I have calves that are on the larger side and wear women's shoes in size 8.5, thus this size Medium fits me perfectly. I would guess that you may go up to a size 10 because there is a lot of space in the front.Here are some pointers for newcomers: (things I wish someone would have told me)Get a "Even Up" leveler for your second shoe, in my opinion, to prevent painful knees and back. You may look it up on Amazon by clicking here. It costs around $30.Do not remove the Pull Up tabs until after you have used the boot for the first time! Fit the sleeve first, then place your leg into the boot with the boot on the floor and you seated. As far back as you can, push your heel. If your Achilles is tight, wait until your ligaments and tendons are sufficiently stretched to allow you to insert your foot at a 90-degree angle before pulling the Pull Up tab out. Therefore, put off using the Pull Up tab. (To keep it in place, Velcro is attached to the sides of the foot sleeve.)Stretch your Achilles before putting the boot on for the day if it's tight.Secure your toes in the boot first, then your ankle, and then work your way up the boot. At first, using the Velcro straps can be a little challenging. If you stick the Velcro onto itself while removing, you'll always know exactly where the strap is. Mine used to get all tangled up, fall off, or stick to other things.Don't trim the toe and ankle Velcro if they are too long! It only has to be bent back and tucked into the strap holder. Then, it won't be loitering.The blue inflator is functional; all you need to do is tighten it during inflation and loosen it during deflation by following the arrows. Prior to determining how tight you want or need it to be, don't blow it up too much. Additionally, if you try to remove it while it is still inflated or if you inflate it excessively, it will POP.I'm sorry you have to wear a boot, but you will save a few hundred dollars by purchasing this little jewel. Good luck!

After suffering an open complex fracture in my left great toe, I bought this. Anyhow, after visiting the ER, I was given this boot to wear while I recovered at home, but I was instructed to wear it "round-the-clock for at least three weeks." A patient should typically given two of anything they believe should be worn continuously. Let's just say that the thought of wearing it in my bed, residence, or even outside freaked me out too much to do it. As my discomfort mounted, I ultimately chose to order this. The fact that this boot matches the one I got from the hospital exactly makes me happy. These are not of the greatest quality because they are not designed to be worn for an extended period of time; in fact, the elastic in the first one started to break after three weeks (I used a safety pin to help keep it closed, but I also walk A LOT). I believe my second boot lasted longer; it was largely worn to bed, but I'll keep it just in case I ever need it again (let's all hope not). If you have a fractured toe, I would suggest this product. It was almost level with my Sketchers memory foam shoe, which relieved my back from being in an uncomfortable posture for a long time. I am not a doctor, but I believe that this boot could help other problems as well. I did notice that when my ankle hurt, it almost served as a reminder for me to take it easy (an ace wrap could have done the same thing I do suppose). Anyway, I'm happy with my purchase. I purchased a small (based on what the hospital provided me) even though I usually wear an 8.5 in women's shoes, and I discovered that my big toe was exactly where it would have been in a shoe, towards the tip. To avoid tripping over the surplus at the end of the shoe, this is advised for healing.

For broken toes or broken feet, this product works wonders. Despite the fact that I ordered the shoe right away, it's an excellent product to use in transition from a cast or boot.I have broken the fifth metatarsal on both of my feet as a result of many "adventures" including foot surgery, falls, etc. As a nurse and a patient, I am aware of the challenges associated with wearing a heavy orthopedic boot. They are difficult to put on and take off, quite heavy, and painful to slide the foot back into the boot.As soon as it arrived, this shoe was SO much better!Because it isn't, I can't say that it was as encouraging. Since it lacks the steel rods on the sides of the ankle, it could not initially be effective if you need to prevent the foot from twisting due to a fracture or sprain (such as a metatarsal fracture).But for my broken foot, this was like a breath of fresh air. It doesn't hurt to putting it on, and it slides easily on so you can get out of bed in two seconds.I've worn it for two weeks, and it has held up well thanks to the Velcro.Everyone who has experienced a fracture understands how painful they are. What eases the anguish are steadiness and time.The fit was accurate, the shoe is amazing for the price, and it isn't hot or heavy.The nicest aspect is that having one hip much higher than the other doesn't hurt my back from the rocking action.With any of the other fractures I have endured, I wish I had one of these; excellent shoe!

I usually adore the Aircast brand, so I got this one after I recently had foot surgery and didn't like the boot they provided me to take home. This boot satisfied my desire for a broad toe region, which I was looking for in a boot. One of the first things that bothered me was a brand-new feature. Although I had read that this boot made a lot of noise, I didn't fully understand what they meant until I actually wore it. It is noisy, and this is a result of the manner it was built.The plastic piece that covers the top of your foot and is inserted to go over the front of your leg fastens to the main boot section with Velcro. However, as you walk, the Velcro bends along with the plastic boot, creating an irritating scratching sound. But I came up with a fairly easy fix for it, which is why I'm writing this review. Aside from that one flaw, this boot is by far the best I've used.The reason Air Cast is better is that you receive a small blue bulb with your boot that doubles as a highly advanced hand pump to inflate various parts of the interior of the boot. After trying it on, you can adjust the fit using the tiny pump. This can be quite crucial in the initial stages of recovery from surgery. Your foot should be "snugly comfortable." This simple task just takes a few minutes but has a huge impact on comfort and support.But what's even cooler is that you can use the same tiny hand pump to release air from the various areas or to add additional air as necessary as you heal and the swelling goes down. As long as you don't lose it, the tiny pump is a fantastic concept because it can be used in either direction. The fact that Air Casts can be entirely disassembled so that all of the parts may be washed is one of my favorite things about them. Since they are expensive, I always save them after I have recovered in case I ever need something comparable again, which I rarely never do!My Noise SolutionTurn the top piece upside down to eliminate the noise (so the writing on it is upside down.) I didn't believe this would work because the 2 opposing edges have slightly different shapes when you look at them closely, but it turns out it doesn't really matter. That component will still fit exactly the same when it is upside down as when it is upright. Even though the Velcro is now at the bottom, the very broad strap still works just as well to keep the boot in place. In fact, very few other boot manufacturers even bother include the Velcro. The boot is silent and still fits well when the front piece is turned upside down.

After months of therapy and exacerbation from Plantar Fasciitis and a torn Peroneal Brevis Tendon, which caused discomfort on the top of the foot, on the outside, I decided to buy this boot. both injuries brought on by activity.According to what I've read, a podiatrist would charge three times as much for a boot like this one to be worn for these kinds of injuries. The fit and comfort of this boot are good. I also got one with the air pump after heeding the advice of another reviewer. This boot's air pumping capability produces stable compression for a perfect fit. I deducted a rating because I felt the directions for using the extra cushions that came with the boot might have been more clear. Despite the fact that it specifies it can be used on either foot, when I walk with mine on, it cants out to the left. When I walk, I have to remind myself to keep it straight. After some time, I finally stopped jogging so that my body could recuperate. I enjoy the buy and would suggest it. Let's hope I can use it.

If you have a fracture in your foot or ankle, you may need to wear a fracture boot. This helps to keep your foot and ankle in the correct position and helps to prevent further injury. Crutches are not always necessary with a fracture boot, but your doctor may recommend them if you have a lot of pain or if you need to keep weight off your foot.
No, you should not wear a boot with a fracture. A boot is meant to immobilize the foot and ankle, and fractures need to move in order to heal properly. Additionally, wearing a boot for an extended period of time can lead to muscle atrophy and joint stiffness.
A boot does not replace a cast. A boot is often used to protect a foot or ankle after an injury, but it does not provide the same level of support as a cast.
If you have a boot cast on your leg, you will need to take extra care when showering. Here are some tips on how to shower with a boot cast on: -Wash your body with a washcloth or sponge. Avoid getting the cast wet if possible. -If you must get the cast wet, be sure to dry it thoroughly afterwards. -Do not use soap on the cast, as this can cause irritation. -Wash your hair with a shower cap or other head covering. -Be careful not to slip when
If you have to sleep in a walking boot, there are a few things you can do to make it more comfortable. First, make sure the boot is the right size. It should be snug but not too tight. Second, put a pillow under your ankle to elevate it. This will help reduce swelling. Third, put a blanket over the boot to keep your foot warm. Finally, prop up the foot of your bed so that your foot is higher than your head. This will help reduce pain and swelling.
A boot is a type of footwear that is typically worn by people who have injured their foot or ankle. Boots can be made from a variety of materials, including leather, rubber, and fabric. They are typically designed to provide support and stability to the foot and ankle, and to protect the foot from further injury. Most people who wear a boot can walk relatively normally, but it is important to listen to your body and not overdo it. You may need to take more frequent breaks, and avoid walking long distances. It is also important to avoid uneven surfaces and slippery surfaces
