United Ortho USA16115 360 Air Walker Ankle Fracture Boot, Medium, Grey

The walking boot itself works great in terms of fit and comfort. It provides the necessary support for my injured foot, and I find it easy to wear for extended periods. The adjustability of the boot is fantastic, and I appreciate the sturdy construction.However, the major downside is the air leakage. Despite the boot’s design being great overall, it leaks air, which makes it less effective in providing the intended compression and support. This not only reduces the boot's effectiveness but also causes discomfort over time, as it seems to lose the intended fit as air escapes. This is a major flaw in an otherwise solid product.If the air leakage issue could be addressed, this would easily be a five-star product, but as it stands, I’m left feeling disappointed.

Got this so he can go back to work. They require a closed toe boot in the factory.He’s a 10 shoe and the M is a perfect fit for him. He’s been wearing it the last couple hours and says it’s working good. He didn’t need the extra padding yet it does have about an inch platform so you may need to wear a shoe on his good foot to equal it out.

Connective tissue disorder gives me intermittent Achilles tendonitis. Nobody wants to wear a boot but sometimes I have to. I wear a US women's size 7 shoe. Size small fits me well. Comes with additional padding and a built in pump for customized fit. Toe guard can be repositioned to your comfort. The straps are a bit awkward at first but not so difficult that it would keep me from recommending the product. I hope you find this review helpful.

I was told to get the boot for skin stability so a heal injury could heal faster. It works. Device comes with several extra squares of cushion to bad any sore areas. First time wearing was difficult but much easier to apply boot with practice.

I’m updating my review from a few weeks ago. After all swelling was gone and stitches removed I was able to wear this boot ; I love it. It is light weight and securely protects my still tender foot . Also the curved bottom makes it very easy to walk in and does not hurt my knee. I have a big, heavy prosthetic boot the doctor sent home with me so I wear that one in public , I wear this smaller gray one from Amazon inside only . So I have outdoor boot and indoor boot. this boot is wonderful and I recommend it. In summary the xs size did work for a female with size 6 foot , toe guard was excellent benefit.This product info said to order XS if you have a size 6 foot, so I did . However , after my foot surgery my foot was swollen- absolutely no way it wud fit into the xs boot. I should have gotten the med size to account for swelling and surgical wrapping around my foot. Will have to return it.However, it is a nice quality boot with a neat toe guard, highly recommend the boot just allow for the proper size for your condition.

Good protect for my ankle

As Advertised

So, you've injured your foot, and you have to wear an air cast boot for a while. Your podiatrist charged you double the Amazon new price for a very basic boot, but said maybe your insurance will reimburse you for at least part of it, but you know the only chance you have of recouping any cost is to sell it for $10-$15 online when you're done.So you go to work, because you're not going to let a fracture in your foot stop you, only to get sent home anyway because that boot you just dropped around a Benjamin on technically counts as an open-toed shoe. HR follows up, saying that you either need to buy a toe guard for your current boot (the recommendation I was given was the Darco Body Armor Toe Guard) or buy a new boot altogether (this is the one they recommended).I decided at first to go with the toe guard. I'd already spent so much to buy my boot in the first place, so I wasn't keen on the idea of buying a replacement immediately over an uncovered toe. I checked all of the local medical supply stores, big and small, hoping to avoid shipping times and return to work sooner, but none had it, so I ordered the toe guard from here.Well, I don't know if I wore the toe guard wrong or something as it didn't exactly come with instructions, but I could not find a way of positioning it to where it wasn't very painful to wear. I tried different positions. I used the extra foam pieces that came with the boot. I got some packing foam in order to completely cover my toes with that before putting the toe guard on. There was just no way of wearing it that wasn't more painful than the fracture itself.Defeated, I bought the extra boot. I'd already wasted money on a boot I couldn't work in without an additional attachment, and wearing that had made amputation seem preferable, so again I coughed up out of pocket for a medical boot.Let me get the negatives out of the way first: this boot takes much longer to put on and remove than the basic boot, so you should probably bring the basic with you to change into when you're heading in somewhere for a short time, like a doctor's appointment or the grocery store. Also, if you anticipate that you'll be removing your pants, wear the simple one and not this one, so the mood isn't ruined by all of the extra steps.This thing does have a learning curve. You'll need to know where to put the foam. Inserts in your socks or inside the boot for maximum comfort while walking. Also, there are slots in the top of the boot as well as the bottom of the plate that the hook and loop straps can be fed through. The instructions don't mention whether or not you should use these when "lacing" up the boot so you will have to experiment to see what works for you.Sooner probably rather than later the front of your foot is going to start going numb, or your heel or somewhere else will begin to hurt. As soon as you are able, deflate and begin the long process of unstrapping the boot. Shore up any pain Hotspot like the heel with foam, try making the strap pushing against the painful or numb area a bit looser once your foot feels "normal" again and you go to put it back on. Also, don't overinflate it, though be sure to listen to what your podiatrist said and ensure that the parts your wearing the boot to immobilize aren't loose.Eventually you'll get the hang of it. If your work is kind enough to offer you a lunch break and/or one or two 15-minute breaks, be prepared to spend them giving your foot a break from the boot and make sure to leave yourself enough time to re-strap and re-inflate. If you've been prescribed Voltaren gel, you may need to get some kind of permission/accommodation, as you're not going to have time to get from your station to your car or wherever you kept the gel, completely strip your foot and apply it until dry, replace socks, arch supports, and foam inserts, wait for any foot pain or numbness from the boot to subside, and refasten and reinflate the boot carefully so nothing starts to hurt or go numb within the next few hours, then hobble back to your work station, hopefully washing your hands on the way, and getting back within a 15 minute window. Sadly all of my speedrun attempts at that have ended in failure.The pros are once you've been wearing it for a few days it can actually be kinda comfy, especially when making use of the extra foam for any uncomfortable buts like where the inflation apparatus presses against the shin while walking. Hopefully you'll soon reach a point where you'll only need to take short boot breaks on your work breaks if working for an employer that offers them, so you don't have to drop what you're doing to address sudden numbness or pain and tank your work metrics. Unless your next break is like 5 minutes out just trying to wait it out isn't an option, because when your foot starts hurting from the boot it gets worse exponentially fast.For the most part, after you're used to wearing it, though, it isn't really painful. It will require you to arrive at work early to put it on and spend most of what break time you may have tending to it and your foot, but it counts as a close-toed shoe as far as HR is concerned, and doesn't make me want to just throw the whole foot away like using a toe guard with the basic boot

Excellent. After injury the ankle boot supported and pain relief

Arrived much earlier than expected which is a good thing. Bought XS which fits snugly to shoe size EU37. Very stable for the healing ankle but for now now, I gotta look for shoes with sole of about 1inch to balance both legs.

Just received today. Have you say I love it so far. So comfortable. This was a upgrade from my plain blk boot that was so worn I had to stuff memory foam in it because padding was worn out. I love how it is encased all in plastic and there's a piece that covers your toes. Especially having 2 dogs that love to chew on my toes. And has a nice sturdy top that the velcro goes across instead of laying on top of the cloth lining. I take a size 10 sneaker and the medium is a perfect fit. Haven't had to use the pump as of yet as it fits snug enough. I'll be wearing this for a good 6 weeks after having achilles tendon surgery. Highly recommend

I researched a lot to find a good orthopaedic boot and I'm impressed how amazing this one is.Extremely comfortable, it fits perfectly (Im 8.5 man shoe size, Medium Size chosen) and this blue ball you see in front is an air bumper. After placing your foot in the boot, you press this bumper and the inner boots parts inflates to fits even better to your foot making a confident foot embrace and extra comfort. The air cushions connect in all required foot sides to make it very stable while you walk.For the price, this boot couldn't even be better. It's worth each dollar payed.If it helps, I have an ankle twist.
