United OrthoUnited Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Extra Large, Black

After a recent incident where I ended up rolling my ankle into a midlevel sprain I needed a boot. My wife found this United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot and - thanks to Amazon’s overnight Prime option - we bought it and had it here the next day. After almost three weeks I can say this United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot has been a great asset for me, helping protect and give a place to heal my foot, while allowing me to also safely walk as soon as I was able to be up on it.The United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot is mostly well designed with good materials and has stayed strong throughout. I will say, due to my injuries I have been unable to put the United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot on by myself throughout. My wife has had to do it. From my standpoint, it would be a little hard at times - on and off can be a bit painful, but as we got used to it, less issues happened each time. We also learned a few “short cuts” such as having the inner boot inside the outer boot and me setting my foot into the whole unit - rather than putting it into the inner boot and setting both into the outer boot - saving me pain from the narrow opening.The pushbutton air filling mechanism is in an... okay spot. I again could not do it myself until recently, but even for my wife it meant a kind of “bending” to reach it for her. And it requires a pretty solid, hefty pumping motion in order to get the air in. You’ll work for it. But with each pump I could feel the air entering and could talk her through what and how much I needed. So from that standpoint, it worked well. And the mechanism works outstandingly well when emptying, Over the three weeks I only - somehow we still can’t figure out - accidents released the air once.The inside feels good and comfortable, but equally supportive even without the air. But that air felt so much better once in. I never felt weakness nor discomfort when wearing or walking. I never wore a sock in there, and mostly remained cool and comfortable, but maybe twice I did get a bit hot. Nothing slipping off the outer boot didn’t help. Even the inner boot was comfortable alone and while it didn’t give them the same level of support, it reminded me to watch out for my ankle and kept it from giving way - I never walked with it alone.The United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot included two cushioned pads you can set inside, securing with velcro, in order to provide more cushion and aide in proper fit. We used these every time and they worked well. I do wish they’d include a second set as these two - while still being good and can be used in the future - do take a bit of a beating. It would be nice to have that second set as a back up.In the end I’m still using this United Ortho Short Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot for another few days to week, and from the first time we slipped it on, my wife and I are both happy with how well it worked. It has helped me through and I am grateful for it. Any “cons” are so weak they would not keep me from using this now again, or getting another just like it (hoping I never need to, that is).

Essential Stabilizing Boot – A Lifesaver for Ankle Injuries!This stabilizing boot has been an absolute lifesaver every time I’ve sprained or injured my ankle. From the moment I put it on, I could feel the incredible support it provides. The boot is sturdy, well-padded, and designed to keep my ankle immobilized while allowing just enough mobility to go about my day comfortably.One of my favorite features is how adjustable it is. The velcro straps make it easy to get the perfect fit, ensuring the boot stays secure all day without feeling too tight or restrictive. The design also provides excellent arch and heel support, which significantly reduces pain and speeds up the healing process.Another huge plus is its durability. This boot has held up incredibly well over multiple uses, and it still looks and feels as reliable as the day I got it. Whether it’s a mild sprain or something more severe, this boot has always been my go-to. I genuinely don’t know how I’d recover as smoothly without it.If you’re dealing with an ankle injury and need something dependable, comfortable, and effective, I can’t recommend this stabilizing boot enough. It’s a total game-changer for recovery and peace of mind!

Very pleased with the function and fit of this boot, I purchased it in anticipation. Of having infected hardware removed from my left heel, it cushions and supports my foot and ankle very well,The air inflation works well and helps keep pressure on bandages,Drawbacks, as an older fat guy it's hard to reach the front straps but it doable with effort , for use on my left foot the Velcro loop is on the outside of the boot and hard to start thru loop, other than my personal limitations aside I highly recommend this product and it's way cheaper that what the hospital provides and wasn't covered by my insurance.It makes getting around less painfully both on my foot and wallet.

This is well made, good quality, and the "sole" is non-slip and easy to walk in. My caveat emptor is about the height and comfort of where it hits on the leg. I bought a Small (I usually wear a women's 6/6.5/Euro 36, and foot size wise it is a comfortable (albeit slightly roomy fit). My issue is the height- this boot's side plastic support is slightly (like .5 inch) taller than similar other boots, and there is an additional 1.5 in ofnthe foamy boot inside that comes up over the plastic part which is great for some, but for me, no: I'm about 5ft tall, and that plastic side support hits my calf at an awkward spot and is actually quite uncomfortable, even with the padding. This is a good value and quality, but fit may not be for everyone.
