Aircast AirSelect Walker Brace Walking Boot

I dislocated and fractured my ankle in 2 places. My orthopedic doctor suggested that I try Amazon for my cast as I'd save money. After some extensive research i decided that this one was the best option and i wasn't wrong!The dual side air bladders made for a comfortable and secure fit. The fact that the controls are on the side, as opposed to on the front like other models, made using the knee cart a breeze. You can take the shin guard off for better sleeping.There are replacement inner boots that i strongly recommend you purchase so you can switch them out every couple of days and keep them fresh. They do a great job of moisture wicking, so change them out. I added the long sock style liners too. They come in packs of 2, so buy at least 3 packs. They add a soft layer of protection and cover your toes. I also recommend a can of sanitizer spray for the back/foot part as moisture can condense between the air bladder and the plastic shell. Powder helps to keep things dry too. My doctor appreciated that extra bit of effort! I'm also a diabetic, so keeping my feet healthy is priority.It's easy to adjust the fit with this cast and it will take you from non-weight bearing to walking with ease. I blinged mine up a bit with some stick on rhinestones and it served me well. A very comfortable cast.

Please for the love of God buy a shoe lift for your other foot. If you don't you will injur your back and your hips. The leg wearing this boot will be a few inches longer now. Also this boot will crash your arch. The footbed is completely flat. You have to get some insoles with good strong arch support and some shock absorption. Get yourself a shinny rod of some kind to itch your leg through the day. Eventually the top part of the cast will dig into your shin. Take a soft thick sock and wrap it around that area and then put the boot on.As for improvements the manufacturer should make. The foot portion needs 2 straps instead of one. The one it has is not enough to stop my foot from bending. The velcro strap on the foot portion is the completely wrong length. When I sinch it down on my wide size 13 foot there is less then 1 inch of velcro in contact and about 4 inches of excess material. This does have more shock absorption then a normal cast. Do not expect anything close to what an athletic shoe absorbs.

Wow!! Should have gotten this sooner!! My Husband has an achilles tendon problem that he has been suffering with for a While. He stepped off a ladder wrong and the tendon was injured where it attached to the heel bone. Simply walking was miserable for him. We tried the shorter braces, ice, heat, salves, you name it. I finally convinced him to try this walking cast as it was obvious that the injury needed to be immobilized in order to heal. He didn't want to do it thinking that he wouldn't be able to do the things he needs to do, like work or anything else. Boy was he wrong. From the first time he wore the boot the pain was just GONE. He couldn't believe it. He had suffered so much and now, something so simple as putting on this walking cast and the pain was gone. We own a roofing company and he is on the go constantly. This boot has not hindered him at all. He said it is very easy and natural to walk in. It just so happens that his work boot on the other foot is the perfect height for this Aircast but he does wear the even up thingy when he wears his casual shoes, which is sold separately. That's a must. This Aircast comes with a nice long, cushy cast sock but I bought 2 more so I could keep him with a clean one everyday. This Aircast is very durable. I'm amazed at how tough it is because he really puts it through a lot and it's still great. It's been about 2 or 3 weeks that he has worn it all day but takes it off as soon as he gets home and he is enjoying much improvement in pain reduction in the heel even without the boot being on so it is healing. I'm so happy that he is no longer suffering with that injury. If he wears this Aircast out before he is fully healed you can bet that I will buying another one. It's worth every penny.

I tore the tendons in my foot and ankle and it wasn't healing until I got this boot. I had it immobilized and wrapped but it really needed a boot. I felt relief as soon as I put it on. I'm 5 4 and heavy set and the boot fit me fine. I got a medium and I'm a size 10 and it was a good fit. Sometimes a 10 shoe is a tad small for me. I think if you are are an 8-10 women's size a medium is good. Some people who were 10 said their toe came over the front, you need to make sure that you let all the air out before you put the boot on because it will push your foot forward The straps adjust and the pump makes it tighter on the sides. The boot is very comfortable and lightweight. There is enough room to wrap your foot and wear the boot. It doesn't come with a sock so you might want a long sock. The boot came several inches below my knee. I just wore a regular sock, the liner was really soft. I live in Florida and it wasn't hot. Happy with the boot and glad I spent the extra money.

The doc put me in a Breg boot which was so clunky and full of Velcro straps that liked to stick to each other. I thought I'd go mad. So I found this one and it is lighter with only 3 straps that have yet to stick to each other.It's pretty comfy and gives good support. Must admit that I cheat around the house and don't use the front plastic shield, but I do outside.I will say that I ordered a Small, as I wear a woman's 7 or 7.5 and it was too small. So I sent it back and got a Medium which is much better.I definitely recommend this boot! You're already frustrated enough having to wear a boot at all, so make it easy on yourself.*UPDATE*I am now at the 6 week mark with my broken leg (5 weeks in this boot) and I can say I have been really pleased with it. One thing to consider, though, if it's REALLY cold where you live, there are open areas around the top of the foot where cold can get in.

Bought to replace the large heavy bulky boot I was given at the hospital. For a lower ankle fracture Weber A injury. I checked with the doctor before wearing. It is light and much more comfortable. Good value compared to some other retailers. Wear a thin cotton sock for comfort and hygiene.

The Aircast boot is great .....the problem is the liner wear out pretty quickly the velcro goes ...and they cost £35.00 to change ....come on guys its time to make a better liner or a replacement at a more reasonable price .Having said that this boot is a god send if you have foot problem....and the supplier were prompt and had the best price

Great aid to getting back on your feet. The support and comfort is excellent - and wearing it gives you confidence after injuring your leg. Has a slight rocking motion to it, which enables you to use its momentum to move about.

I do like this boot. My deltoid ligament got injured. This boot was the key for recovery. Easy to put on, simple to inflate. Light.

Very good service from the seller , delivers fast , the product fits the purpose and helps with my foot injury.
