United Ortho USA14015 Short Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Medium, Black

I am currently undergoing physical therapy for severe Plantar fasciitis and a bone spur that pokes up into my Achilles tendon. The therapy is designed to stretch and strengthen the surrounding muscles and tendons. So far, it has been pretty effective, with the next step, if the therapy isn't enough, being some serious surgery to remove the bone spur, with downtime in a cast for 16 weeks. The therapy consists of exercises that do cause a bit of pain and discomfort on their own, which requires icing down the ankle and heel area afterwards, just as playing tennis or hiking through the woods, or even going on a long walk requires.The problem with the icing, though, is that the long, narrow ice pack designed to wrap around the foot is quite difficult for me to secure correctly. My Physical Therapist said to put it in a pillowcase and tie it around my foot. I just can't get that to work. I've also tried securing it with an Ace bandage, but that is hard as well, since I am pretty inflexible and tall (this is part of the underlying cause of the Plantar fasciitis and bone spur).After seeing someone in a walking boot, I decided to try ordering one so that I could put the ice pack in the boot, then my foot in the pillow case, then tighten the boot around the ice pack.It works great! I ordered the XL boot even though my foot is a large size. Now I can comfortably wear the ice pack, and even walk around if I feel like it. Now I'm icing more frequently, and this makes doing my Physical Therapy exercises far more comfortable.Pros:• Inexpensive and built for wear outside and inside• Velcro straps and padding hold the ice pack securely• LightweightCons:• None

Received promptly. Purchased a size small for my 12 year old boy. He wears a size 8 and it fit. It was a bit loose around the calf area but he is very slim. However, it did come in additional padding to provide support.

I sprained my foot attempting to walk up stairs (graceful, I know!) I ordered this boot and wasn’t sure the size due to no size chart available. I based my sizing on other boot sizing and went with a medium. That was a mistake. The boot is too big, but I have figured out a workaround. Once that was figured out, the boot works great. The straps are very secure and I’m not worried about it coming loose or further injuring my foot. I’ve had it just over a week now and I have no complaints except it does get a bit heavy by the end of the day (as I imagine they all do. I’ve never had to use a boot before). I feel very secure in this boot. I like the lower boot height. It’s less intrusive and blends in more with your clothing than a taller boot would. Overall, I like this boot and recommend it. I would ask the manufacturer to add a size chart to help others avoid buying the wrong size.

My honey got this for me due to a fracture. We ordered it "Same Day", it came w/in hours. We were super shocked, However..I was grateful.The boot is SO SOFT and COMPHY!! What a relief.It's a bit heavy to get it on, once you figure out the velcro etc.. you'll be very relieved.I'm not SUPPOSE to walk on my foot but when I do I wear this.I wear it even w/my crutches, in case my foot hits the ground.Slept w/it on one night and it kept my foot nice a safe. I slept on the couch so it wasn't too dangerous for my honey. The cat was freaked out when I started wearing it but they're use to it now.GET THIS!! U WON'T BE SORRY, You'll be comfortable.

This boot fit well, it comes with a few extra cushions. I got it for a fractured foot so I like that my ankle can wiggle a bit but if you are looking for something for an ankle issue, this one may not be the right one for you. The plastic was digging into my shin a little but nothing a taller/thicker sock couldn't fix. It does look big but it's nice because if you bump it on something (which you will) it doesn't hurt your sore/broken foot.

Good boot overall, some issues I have with it: The flaps that cover your toes is way too short meaning left to right. The flaps need to be at least 3 to 4 inches longer so that you can actually cover your toes and not have to crank down on the strap to hold it in place. The current strap also needs to be about 3 to 4 inches longer because I cannot even use at the toe because it is not wide enough causing pain in my foot where my toe surgery was, granted my foot is pretty swollen. Also, the top strap is too low on the boot and you have to really pull the strap hard to get it to give any kind of support around your shin. Be very careful if you walk in this boot in the rain the bottom is not slip resistant. I almost killed myself walking in the rain down some stairs, yes not easy to do but it was because the bottom of this boot has no traction at all so be careful!
