Review on ๐Ÿ‘ฃ SP Aircast Short Pneumatic Walker Brace/Walking Boot by Joseph Stone

Revainrating 5 out of 5

My doctor approved the boot; Some fit required

* Here's my best advice: If you feel the boot is too roomy and/or your foot slips in the boot, even a little, use a small one Piece of padding for cushioning. Here's my story: I thought I had a hairline fracture in my foot bone and bought this shoe first to see if using it would heal the bone. My foot continued to hurt, although the x-ray eventually showed that my fifth metatarsal, which is on the outer edge of my foot, was broken. I had to have surgery to put a needle in to help it heal. After the surgery and a week without moving, the doctor said I could use this shoe and start running. A week later I complained to the doctor that the inside of the boot was rubbing against the flattened bone. He took a thin, compressed, rectangular liner that measured about 4 inches by 3 1/2 inches and stuffed it into the boot at the broken bone, attached the tabs, and assembled the rest of the boot to my foot. I am attaching a photo to show the venue and accommodation. I was surprised how this little bit of padding made the boot more comfortable to wear and my foot less painful. I'm still waiting for the bone to heal and tending to my leg if possible, but I'm able to move about a little better if needed.

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Easy serviceability
