United Ortho USA16101 360 Air Walker Standard Fracture Boot, X Small, Grey

I have a high deductible insurance and my orthopedic doctor said that they would have to charge me $800 for an ortho boot and recommended that I buy one from the local pharmacy or Amazon. I found that hard to believe but I visited the pharmacy anyway. They did not have my size. and I tried on several at at the pharmacy. I decided to try amazon. I purchased 4 from Amazon because I didn't know what expect. I returned the other 3 styles. I wear a size 8 1/2 USA women's shoe. I bought this boot in size medium. It worked perfectly. It came with 4 extra pads which I used to make boot fit more snugly at the ankle and to pad on right side of boot where air hoses could be felt when boot was tight. I always wore a clean ankle high sock with this boot. I adjusted to the boot the fit snugly and then pumped up the air to fill in around foot and ankle area. It was very comfortable. I have large calves and it still fit fine. The first time that you wear it, you will need to take the front off and then replace it so that you have good alignment. It has strong velcro. I rarely had to take it all apart again. The velcro all held up well. The foam held up well in the liner. The plastic shell held up just fine. It was not brittle. It did not crack or come apart in my 10 weeks of wearing it. I called the company selling this boot before I purchased it to make sure they were a real company. A real person from the USA answered the phone and was very nice. Forego getting an overpriced boot from your orthopedic and get this brand. It's light, comfortable and durable. I highly recommend. Oh, my condition was a tibial stress fracture.

super COOL, as expected and more,

I used this boot for an achilles tendon rupture. Although this 360 Air Walker is marketed for a bone fracture, it still serves a function in achilles tendon management.. I added in adjustable heel heigh insoles. This was absolutely necessary for my achilles injury as using this boot flat-footed was very painful and increased risk of re-injury.I ended up taking out the inflatable pump mechanism as I found it irritating to the shin when using the boot on the a scooter (dug into leg).I've been using this in the summer heat of Miami, on boats and found it to be comfortable enough.The fabric inner part can be removed separately for washing no problem.

This provides the needed support. When my best friend hurt her foot we had so many things lined up to do. This allowed her to keep going safely and comfortably. It was easy to get off and on, adjustable to fit any foot as it swells and when the swelling goes down. This will allow you to keep up without the pain!

I have tried 5 boots. Most of them allowed movement in my ankle regardless of the bladder insert. I finally bought this boot. IT IS AMAZING. My ankle is completely immobilized but I can still walk and do what I need to do in this boot to continue living :) It is pretty light weight considering how sturdy it is. It is also very comfortable. It is well worth the money and was pretty on point compared to what all the other boots costs that I previously purchased.

Sometimes you can make lemonade for others out of your lemons.I was an athlete in my younger years and anavid hiker. I played field hockey, lacrosse, basketball, volleyball, track.I ran everyday for 3-5 miles.I was also a teacher.Genetically I am a white female of Irish ancestry.You get the picture. Bones didn’t hold up to myenthusiasm.About 25 years ago I started having toexperience what we have fondly referred toas “Tune Up Surgeries”.Over the years I’ve had about 7.Long story short, I’m used to crutches,CAM Boots, wheelchairs, etc.Shortly after the latest surgery I smacked mynicely healing foot into the toe indent undermy kitchen sink cabinet as I was washingdishes. It was in the Boot but exposed at theend. It then got infected. In all these yearsI’ve never done that. But, now we need a newsolution.Needed Amazon quickly. Ordered this ClosedToe Boot. You could manage to get somethingIn between the bottom shoe part and the top cover if you really tried, but most things arekept out.The frame is hard plastic. If you have thickcalves it is “very” tight. But, once your in,over time it loosens up.I LOVE this thing. Showed it to my Doctoron the next visit. He was happy with it, too.It will mostly protect the toe area. Certainlymuch better than your average Boot. Andonce it loosens up a bit, it is great to wear.

This began as a 5 Star but quickly kept falling to a 1 Star for several reasons:First boot ordered, the bottom rubber heel wore out after 2 weeks. After request for refund, I was offered a free replacement which kept them at a 5 Star. Received 2nd boot & after shy of 4 weeks, the bottom rubber heel wore out AGAIN! So I requested refund & they gave me 3 days to return...Still waiting for my refund after a WEEK! Bottom line, be careful when ordering this one, if you need to wear long term, this will NOT LAST! When the rubber wears out, you will slip & fall very easily & unexpectedly when just walking. Happened to me, several times. Although the boot is light weight & priced reasonably, the comfort was mediocre because of the height of the boot. This caused a LOT of bruising behind the knee when sitting.The reason I am giving a 1 Star is because they have not returned my money as of today's date.

I absolutely love this boot!!! It's comfortable! Not the most comfortable ever, but I've definitelyhad worse. You don't have to have an attachment for your other shoe as well, as long as the base of your tennis shoe is thick. Only thing that sucks is that it only lasted 4 months before it stopped airing up. I've found that's a common theme in these types of boots. That feature makes them comfortable, but they almost always get a hole some where, and stop working. If you are only needing a boot for short term I highly recommend this one. If you want it long term. Do not get it.
