AircastFP (Foam Pneumatic) Walker Brace/Walking Boot

I bought this brace specially because it was lighter than the metal black braces. I'm used to those ones. I've had multiple fractures, along with a Jones with an ORIF on my Right 5th metatarsal 4 yrs ago and now my left a month ago. I have an extreme amount of atrophy and the heavy brace was hurting my knee. I was no weight baring for a month and wanted the lighter brace. It worked perfectly. It has ease when walking. I find the heal portion is a different feel than the black brace. The padding is more firm on this brace. I work on my feet all day long and sometimes do prefer the black brace. This one is more comfortable because it is lighter. The only complaint I have is the soft portion that goes around your leg is on the smaller size if you have larger calves. If I got a larger size than the sole would not fit correctly. Overall I love this cam walker

I purchased this brace to replace a very uncomfortable brace I received at the Dr.’s office. I love this brace! It has a comfortable foam cushion in the bottom which lessens the impact on my heel/ankle. I had a problem with my ankle which took a long time to diagnose which means I have been in a brace for well over a year, so comfort is imperative. I wear a 7 - 7 1/2 women’s shoe size and the small is perfect. I ended up purchasing some men’s thick tube socks which reach my knees, and the socks do not have heels so they will fit any shoe size. I had surgery on my ankle in November, a fusion of ankle bones and a rod up through my heel bone and into my tibia, secured with screws. I went into a hard cast which recently came off and I am back into the boot, again comfort is a priority. Replacement boot liners can also be purchased on Amazon.

This destroys your ankle bones!! I have very thin (albeit boney) ankles, often referred to as chicken legs, and the hard plastic backing on this is SO narrow at the bottom that it digs into my ankle bones making it impossible to wear. I don’t understand why it is made so narrow as there are air pockets meant to make it tight, but the hard plastic is escrutiating. I have no idea how folks with normal ankles would even get their leg into this thing!

I had polio as an infant and it affected my leg. So I have multiple issues and can not walk without a device. Even with insurance, I can not afford a personalized leg brace so I buy and use this one. I would give it 5 stars across the board except for I have been having trouble with the top strip breaking. I have written the company and they do not sell replacement strips. So this time I took the center strip off the old brace and put it over the top strip so that it is double striped. I am hoping this works. If not I might have to look at a different brace.

This walking boot was really effective for my injury. I had a heel bone fracture that was supposed to heal in about 5-6 weeks. Using this boot really helped my healing process, i am not at 4 weeks after my injury and am able to walk slowly but surely! I really recommend this if you’re looking for a boot at a good price that is also worth the money. It is very comfortable to walk in once you’re injury is safe enough to walk. No one in my family has ever needed a boot like this, so I was confused as to which one to buy. I am pleased with this product!!!

This walking ankle boot has two inflatable bladders to support the ankle. It is very comfortable. The light gray color stays cool. It is easy to put on and supports your ankle. Great for after your cast comes off or for sprains. I broke my ankle 40 years ago, but there are times that I have twisted my ankle and it is very painful. I will wear the aircast for about five days, giving my ankle time to rest. I can usually walk with the aircast by the third day with little to no pain. I had to order this one since my ex wouldn't give me my old one we were going through our divorce. I knew I liked this once since I had used this one off and on through the years. Great product!

The boot is a bit heavier than what I was expecting. I ordered a small because I wear a 6.5 shoe, however the boot was too big for me. I feel that a xsmall would have fit much better.

I just received mine today, I have an avulsion 5th matatarsal fracture. I went to the ER and they gave me that small shoe, so I decided to order this for more protection until I see my doctor. The first thing I noticed is that the boot is really really heavy. For comfort it's ok, it's not super comfortable. But I'm giving it 4 stars because I know that it's a great boot but maybe not for me right now.
