Rebound Air Walker Boot | Air Pump Rocker Shoe, Ventilated Panels for Ankle Sprains Fractures Tendon Ligament Post-Op Rehab - High/Low Top (High Top, Small)

Came home from a second mid foot fusion surgery with the Dr. provided dreaded “black boot”. It has two rails up the side and a heavy plastic foot with five Velcro straps. My foot moved around and rested on my heel causing a pressure sore. The top of my foot (where the incisions are) had to lift the weight of the boot, and the sloppy fit caused excessive movement within the boot and nonstop pain when changing position. So I ordered this boot based on lots of positive reviews- and I’m telling you, the reviews don’t lie! I’m not going to lie and say my foot no longer hurts, but wow, what a HUGE difference a comfortable boot can make! There’s some rubberized material inside of the footbed, which makes a notable difference when resting the foot on it, and there are no reinforcements at the side of the mid foot (like the other boot which pressed into sutures on the side of my foot). It’s just one smooth, ventilated boot and the tall version makes the calf and shin support the weight of the boot, as opposed to the foot taking the weight of the boot. The hard shell that would sit on top of your foot and against the shin is removable, which I had to remove to keep the pressure off of the sutures but the boot is stable without it, but the removable shell provides extra protection to the foot if you can stand it. The boot has a fixed plastic toe guard that wraps up from the bottom of the boot so you aren’t completely exposed if you can’t tolerate the top piece. And the Icing on the cake is the pneumatic air pump that inflates the wrap inside the boot to support the calf and heel and aids in circulation (which really helped with the pressure sore on my heel). I even slipped accidentally and tried to catch myself from falling with my surgical foot. The boot dispersed the brunt of the weight into my entire foot and I don’t think I hurt myself…X-rays will tell. Speaking of slipping, It has a really nice non-slip rubber rocker sole which has helped me as I scoot up stairs on my rear end. The only con, (and I wish there were an option to avoid this) is that the inflation pump is on the top of the shin just below the knee. It makes for difficulty with the knee scooter. I don’t want to damage the inflator, so I’d love to see this boot with the pump somewhere else, even the back side would be better, but if I had to buy another boot, I’d absolutely buy this one again. Super grateful to have found this boot!

After breaking both my ankles I, like most, was taken advantage of by the doctors office and paid $400 for a pair of short air walker boots. I wore them for 6 weeks and was having no luck with trying to walk again. The issue was that most boots are made with the rocker type curved sole. That might be great if you only break one ankle. These boots have made all the difference. They are actually very comfortable, have a soft footbed and the soles on the bottom are soft like real shoes. They are light weight, unlike the short boot from the doctor and the air feature actually supports the ankle and very well. I put these boots on the second they arrived and immediately stood up with crutches and walked across the room. After being very discouraged with the short boot and the extreme pain because my ankles were not actually supported this boot has been a real game changer. These boots have a rubber edge on the top to protect from the plastic digging into the leg, the toe guard is a must have in my opinion, this one is soft and works. I do wear compression socks as well which help to keep the swelling down. I took a chance on these boots after reading the reviews and must say, I am not sure why anyone would rate this lower than 5 stars, perhaps they never had to wear a boot that was actually horrible like the Medi-Cat Air Walker, Ortho sells the same short boot, grey in color, has a black or blue air pump. If you have to wear one of these boots, this is for sure the one to buy!

Purchased for my Mum after she fractured her ankle. Due to complication she ended up in this boot for nearly 7 months and the boot lasted the whole time and remained comfortable
