United Ortho Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Small, Black

This boot has gotten me through several foot and ankle injuries over the last few years. It is better quality than the one my doctor put me in, which broke eventually and was way more expensive. I wear a women's size 9.5-10 shoe and the medium fits perfectly. It is roughly the same height as my good running sneakers, so I didn't even need a "level up" thing to wear with it in order to save my back. Last time I needed it, I had to wear it for 4 months. It's still holding up just fine, and now I'm wearing it again for another injury. I also have the short version to sleep in.

The boot I was given for my stress fracture was awful. Straight as a board, which caused me to hyperextend my knee. This boot also FITS! The other one I have needs washcloths shoved around the bottom of my leg and at the top of the ankle. This boot is SOOO much better. I can’t tell you how happy I am with this one. I also don’t need a knee injury from a boot with no give. It is still heavy but I think all cam boots are very heavy.

I wear a US size 11D in most footwear. Even with a little edema, my toe reaches the end of the size Large boot, making it a perfect fit. The materials seem to be of reasonable quality. The second strap from the toe seems a little short, but sufficient. The padding is more than adequate. I’m confident that this will help me recover quickly from a shattered tibia and fibula. And I don’t have to wait for the VA and my orthopedic surgeon to figure out the paperwork. ;-)

ITS A REAL NICE BOOT WITH PUMPING CONTROL....I tore the muscle in my heel and it's very difficult to walk..... I was informed to purchase a boot like this, however this boot I had to return, because the bottom surface of the boot is flat and every time I tried to walk.... the pain just radiated up to my calf. So I returned the boot and searched for a boot that had around bottom surface..... this allow an easier movement as you walk................. just keep that in mind when you're needing one of these.

Did the job. I got hurt at work and they gave me this absolute joke of a “brace”… i could barely walk. As soon as I put this boot on and got it all adjusted… I was good to go. Back to work within my limitations of course. But far more comfortable.

Most comfortable boot! The best support and cushion for healing a compound fracture to tibia and broken ankle. Our son’s orthopedic surgeon’s technician gave him an ill fitting heavy uncomfortable boot, so I found this one on Amazon. It has made a huge difference in his healing process! Cannot go wrong with this product, thank you!!

ok let me preface this review by saying I understand my risks were substantial and I'm not recommending that anyone do what I did, I am simply speaking to my personal experience with this product. that said, I bless the day I found and bought this thing...did something incredibly stoopid on a ladder while preparing for hurricane matthew. fell while hearing the scariest of snaps, cracks and tears. I knew it was bad (and immediately began kicking myself with my still-good leg). managed to assess some of the damage (luckily, no bones were poking through the skin) and get back into the house. made a splint out of some flat pieces of steel, an ace bandage, and a knee brace I already had on hand. no way was I going to the er when all indications were that a cat 5 hurricane was headed straight for us, expected to begin the hit in about 36 hours.stayed elevated, compressed, and iced until the next morning when I managed to get to the computer and order this air cast. was praying amazon could actually get this to me in two days. friday would have been the day after the hurricane. would they be able to make deliveries? would the damage be so bad it could take weeks? then the wobble saved us but (in my biggest amazon-related disappointment ever) even though the cast arrived in town on friday and I got a different amazon delivery on saturday, I didn't get the boot until monday. the wait was excruciating, primarily because the only way I had to keep my foot at a 90-degree angle to my leg (in which position it was much less painful) was to use/hold a wide/flat bungee cord at all times. easier said than done...but the cast finally arrived, my bff (who'd gotten me some crutches the day after the injury) brought it to me, and from the moment I put it on everything was better. SO much better! just having my foot held "up" was a godsend. once my leg was resting in the open boot I removed the splint and ace bandage, strapped it up and added some air. I think it's better than a plaster cast.was in bed for several days, but when I wanted to try getting up I realized I didn't have the cast on properly. it had arrived partially inflated and I'd rested my leg on the inflation, then added more air. my foot was much too far forward; the ball of my foot was hanging off the end of the boot, and I wasn't getting as much support as possible because my leg was well in front of the two hard plastic "splints" which run up the sides. didn't know where the instructions were and probably couldn't have reached them if I did, so it took a while to figure out how to deflate the boot-sock.the little rod with the knob, under the blue "pump," has positions for inflation and deflation, so I thought it would just deflate if I moved it to the correct position. it did not. maybe I'm supposed to move it there and then hold the blue pump-ball? that only added more air. in desperation I decided to twist the knob, fearing I might break it -- but that worked! I completely deflated the boot, got the heel of my foot all the way to the back of the "sock," it was now completely in the shoe and my leg was perfectly positioned between the splints. strap, inflate, heaven!!!today is our three-week anniversary. I've loosened it twice upon realizing I'd strapped in too tightly and my foot was swelling, but I haven't taken it off. fairly certain I fractured both my tibia and my fibula (if they actually broke, they snapped back into place), but I was extremely lucky, and my leg is healing quickly/well. not putting any real weight on it yet, but I've done the same testing a doctor would do and so far so good.a few reviewers have complained about the "rocker bottom" but I am sooooooo very thankful for it! I'm able to wear my usual dansko on my left foot and there's no real height difference. the boot bottom is also hard plastic, molded in one piece with the splints, but there's some kind of cushioning in it that makes it possible to move about and rest one's foot on the floor without experiencing pain (I never take anything stronger than ibuprofen for pain so that I don't do something I'll regret; eg put more weight on it than I should, sooner than I should).the boot will work for either foot. soon I'll remove it long enough to wash the sock, and it's something I will keep on hand for the rest of my life though I plan to never ever ever do anything even remotely as mind-numbingly inconceivable as I did on the day I injured myself. it's a keeper!the pics are kind of gross because the cats like to take turns sitting on my foot now, and my little ledge is always full of sand and furballs, but you can see the boot. splints, straps, pump, and all. I love this cast!!! my leg wouldn't be healing nearly as well without it. being able to get things like this when we need them is truly a hallmark of "progress." I am beyond thankful...

Shoe seems fine as far as I can tell without using it.. the sizing chart is wrong. I am a size 8 and will need to replace with the size for 9+ because my toes are hanging off the edge.
