United Ortho USA14107 Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Large, Black

I really didn't know what to expect, especially with the air inflation ability. And I wasn't sure I'd done it correctly. That is, until I took it off and had to go potty in the middle of the night! Omigosh! That's when you know it works and works well. The few minutes after it's off (for a sprained ankle), it's not bad. The longer it's off, the harder it is to get comfortable. I can't imagine having anything broken in my foot--have had a broken leg that was unable to be casted before, and the pain was insane. I couldn't do a broken ankle without the cast or this cast! It fits great, it's so easy to use, and it's really tough. I think I'm gonna knock myself out with it if I hit myself in the head. It's a little heavy, but not so bad I can't pull it up and lay in bed with it, and frankly that makes getting comfortable much easier!

Don't let the el cheap-o price of this boot fool you: its a great boot! It's constructed well -- if not exactly the same-- as mid-priced boots. It lacks the fancy name but who cares?!I actually bought TWO boots here on Amazon (this one obviously) the one that claimed to be "low profile" really was NOT!! And it was more than twice the price of this one. However, Low Profile Boot -- which had a really nice fancy label -- had an impressive video & important looking pictures of the technology & proven statements that it was the same height as a sneaker. It also hyped up a rounder bottom. I wore it for 2 weeks, around the house only, and the bottom (which the rounder bottom was scary-slippery) started to peel off!!Here's the real deal: Low Profile just looked lower on the outside. The rocker bottom also aids in it looking lower. It is maybe 1-2 cm lower, in reality, than this boot. It was also really uncomfortable. The inside sleeve didn't go around my calves well, and there was something that dug into the inside of my ankle which was right where my incision was. The little pieces of foam (2 for the Low Profile Boot) were very thin and wore out within the two weeks I wore the boot around the house only.This boot is very comfortable. It doesn't dig in in any specific place and has 4 thicker pads of foam that hold up really well. I've worn this boot around the house and outside. Holding up very well with quite rigorous use.I wear a size 8.5 women's shoe and have on-the-larger size calves and this size Medium is perfect. You could go up to a size 10 I would think as there is quite a lot of room in the front.Some suggestions for the newbies: (things I wish someone would have told me)My suggestion is to get an "Even Up" leveler for your other shoe so you don't get a sore back or knees. You can search for it here on Amazon. It's about $30.The first time you use the boot, don't pull the Pull Up tabs out yet!! Fit the sleeve first, then, while sitting in a chair and the boot on the floor, put your sleeved leg inside the boot. Push your heel as back as you can. If you have tightness in the Achilles, you will not want to pull the Pull Up tab out until your ligaments/tendons have stretched enough to put your foot in at a 90 degree angle. So save the Pull Up tab until later. (it has Velcro to stick to the sides of the foot sleeve to keep it in place)If your Achilles is tight, stretch it out before you put the boot on for the day.Once you are in the boot, secure your toes first, then the ankle, then work your way up the boot. It's a little tricky with the Velcro straps at first. Mine would get all tangled up or fall off or stick to something else - if you stick the Velcro onto itself when removing, you'll always know exactly where the strap is.If the toe and ankle Velcro are too long, don't cut them!! Just bend it back and tuck it into the strap holder. Then it won't be hanging out.The blue inflator does work -- you just need to follow the arrows to tighten it when inflating, and loosen when deflating. Don't blow it up too much until you get a feel for how tight you want/need it to be. It will also POP if you inflate it too much or try to take it off when it is still inflated.Good luck... sorry about you wearing a boot -- but you are going to save a few hundred bucks buying this cheap gem!

Rolled and broke my ankle. We live in the sticks so there’s no medical supply company other than Atlanta or Chattanooga. Doc recommended a local pharmacy that has boots like this but said Amazon might be cheaper. They do it out of pocket and charge twice as much. So I came here and got this one. Amazing comfort and support. But, I’ve had it 4 days and it leaks. When I pump it up it feels amazing. Forget I’m wearing a boot with a broken foot. 5 minutes later the reminder is painfully obvious.

For 50 bucks, this is the best piece of medical equipment I have ever bought. Not only does it work great but it doesn't cost much. They are awesome at helping with foot pains.
