AIRCASTAirSelect Walker Brace/Walking Boot (Elite, Short and Standard)

Excellent quality and the best one I reckon. I had to wear the long one for six weeks, after a foot injury, then started physio but had a set back with tendon and had to start wearing one again a few hours a day, so ordered this shorter one which is much easier and lighter to wear, more manoevrability and easier to get on and off. It is fine for a foot injury. If you wear one of these all day every day then you will get muscle wastage quite quickly, and ankle losing flexibility, so should only really be used after medical advice (I checked with Consultant how long to wear it second time). I just wear it when going outside, until tendon is healed and still have a bit of muscle wastage. Really important to do physio exercises afterwards - so go and see a phsyio who will probably recommend a wobble board and some elastic stretchers as well as a range of exercises to do 3 times a day.Update: I forgot to say - it's important to find a shoe the right height for the other foot or you end up with hip pain! I had a pair of Wolky sandals and they are the perfect height!

Perfect for achilles tear.

I bought this to replace a moon boot i was provided by My healthcare provider who then promptly dostcharged me, unfortunately the combanation of a secondary inversion sprain, torne ligaments and tendons as well as bone busing has ment that 8 months down the line i still struggle to walk! This boot is amazing! It provides support to the whole ankle and foot, very comfy and you can adjust the amount of pressure u need to support it by inflating the air bags! Very plzd and would recoment to any one! Im a watress and can spend upto 12hrs on my feet this has meant that i havent been in pain once whilst working and can do my job again!

Bought to replace the large heavy bulky boot I was given at the hospital. For a lower ankle fracture Weber A injury. I checked with the doctor before wearing. It is light and much more comfortable. Good value compared to some other retailers. Wear a thin cotton sock for comfort and hygiene.

I ordered this to be delivered to Borneo as I broke my foot whilst on a long holiday. I had been fitted with a plaster of Paris cast. The boot arrived 24 hours early and made such a difference. My ankle was already stiff from the lack of movement. The air sacs help to hold my foot securely and I was able to walk more normally. I slept better because I was able to take the walker off at night and able to exercise my ankle a little

After a very bad non healing Jones fracture I was in a fibre glass cast for 3 months with no load bearing then told 'let's try walking and see how how much pain you are in'. Answer was.......agony!! Two more months in plaster with no sign of bone healing and I hit an all time low. Asked about air casts and was told 'they are great but we won't put you in one, they are too expensive' so I bought my own. So glad I did, walking is still a bit painful but at least I can walk now. I have even been able to go back to work on reduced duties. I can't recommend this aircast enough. If you need it for long term use like me buy the cast socks and a spare cast liner as well as the cast can get very sweaty after a day's use and it's nice to be able to hand wash the liner and have a clean one on hand daily.

Used it when my wife broke her ankle after a trip over the dog. She refused a plaster cast and a helpful nurse unofficially recommended this. It worked really well. She had to find shoes the correct height to compensate for the other foot to stop walking a bit squint but there were plenty of shoes to choose from!

Very very poor item.. had it less than two weeks and it has already devolved a fault but what is worse the customer service is even worse and they are not prepared to do anything.. unfortunately we are now having to go to trading standards
