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

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.

Ok, I ordered this product because my Achilles was killing me after some strenuous exercising I should not have been doing. Anyway, I was in PAIN PAIN PAIN. I called my Dr and the receptionist said they were all booked up and I already had an appointment scheduled for the following month. So, I asked to be put on the waiting list and called if a opening came. Well, no call. I was taking Ibuprofen for the pain and swelling for a few days, Then it got worse when I walked on it, so I knew I had to do something. I read about Achilles injuries and from what I was reading I could tell it wasn't torn because I didn't hear a POP, and I could still move my ankle/foot up and down. So I read that immobilization, moderate stretching and pain meds were the only option. So I ordered this boot from Amazon. The previous purchasers answered all my questions which helped. I wanted to wear it over my shoe, so I could drive when I took it off. But that didn't work, so I had send it back and get a smaller one. The return was fast, and I had a new one in a few days. My wife was on the floor laughing at me when she saw the boot arrive! "Oh Lawdy...the man done ordered a boot from Amazon" were her exact words as she fell over in laughter. Well, I didn't care....Laugh on my love! Now, from the first time I put it on I could tell the difference. It took 90% of the pressure off my Achilles. It felt GREAT, No Pain! Now, when I used it for a long time (all day, lot of walking), my Achilles would get a little sore, but nothing like before. Also note, you need to add a lift insert inside your opposite shoe, or your opposite hip will start hurting from the height difference. They give you extra sponges to go into the boot, but I just put those inside my left shoe to counter the height difference. Boot felt great! Ok, I wore it for about a month, off and on, and my Achilles felt better day by day. So good...that some days I didn't even wear the boot, but it would swell up and be sore by the end of the day if I didn't. So my Dr appointment finally comes, and I go in. I'm in my boot and the Dr is like.....WTF did you do. I explained what happened and how I tried to get in to see her and she's PISSED at her receptionist for not booking me. Then she asks, who gave you the boot? what did they say? I said Amazon, She says, who's Dr Amazon ? LMBAO!!! I say no, the website....Amazon. She almost fell out the chair in laughter! Oh, she had a good gut-busting laugh at my amazon boot. That was until she tells me to take it off and get on the table. My Achilles was still very swollen and twice the size of my other. But not sore at all. She panics, "OMG you probably ruptured this thing. You need to see an Orthopedic today". She starts calling around to find a Ortho Dr that will see me that day. But it's Friday and they are all gone. So she schedule me to see him on Monday. She forgot about all the other things I came for like my cholesterol results. She was in full panic mode. She suspected the tendon was hanging on by a thread and I must stay off it. But by this time, me and my handy-dandy boot was just fine. I'd made it this long with just the boot, I was feeling better, so I was not in a rush to go see / pay for another Dr. Besides, It's my son's birthday weekend and I'm not canceling it for this when I'm in NO PAIN. She tells me to go home stay off of it until Monday. Me and my boot go to the race car track so my son can diver the indoor carts for his birthday. Now, I did sit down, and (as bad as I wanted to) I didn't take off my boot and ride the go-carts with him. Well my Dr calls me on my way to the go cart track and says she want me to go to the emergency room and get a MRI. WTF? Now we all know the price of emergency rooms, even with insurance, and the wait time. However, I could tell she was very concerned and I didn't want her worrying all weekend so after my son's birthday outing, I waited until about 12am and went into the emergency room, in my HANDY DANDY BOOT ! Finally see the ER Dr comes over and I explain everything and she's also laughing at my Amazon Boot. Then she informs me that they don't do MRI's in the ER. Ok, I just wasted 2 hrs. But she does look at my Achilles an tell me that it's probably ruptured but the Orthopedic will be able to better tell. So they didn't charge me anything. YEA! Put on my boot and I hobbled on back home. Well, Monday comes, and I realize my appointment had been changed to 8am instead of the 1pm. My Dr ! So I had to come back on Tuesday. SMH. Finally I see the Orthopedic Dr on Tuesday, Explain everything and why I'm there. He has a good chuckle bout my amazon boot as well. He says my tending is not torn, its tendonitis and very tight. Wearing the boot actually helped keep it from further damage. Then he says the magic words " Mr Terry, you did an EXCELLENT JOB, you did everything I would have done for you". You took pain meds, got it immobilize with a boot and kept wearing it for over a month. That's GREAT! Now, In my mind, I'm doing a touch-down dance on my Dr's and wife's face, because they ridiculed me for ordering this boot. It saved me, time money, and possible surgery had I not ordered it. My whole thinking was....It's 35.00! Can hurt to try it. Not like I can make it worse with the boot. Also, I did order and wear the Ankle Support Brace by Bodyprox as well. But didn't were it very often. Now, I"m not telling you to do this, this is just what I did. I suggest you go to a Dr. and get checked out. I got lucky it's wasn't torn, but this boot was a life saver.

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.

It was an excellent choice as I had returned a couple other brands that did not work for me. This short soft boot cast allowed for me to not put pressure on the injured ankle while getting around. It came with soft cushions to put around areas that needed extra support. I loved that I was able to compress the ankle when needed and release the compression with that added air pump on the sides of the boot. Best and most comfortable !

I bought this as an alternative to my giant boot. I have PTTD, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction. I had surgery 4 years ago and felt healed until I decided to work at a seminar where I was on my feet in flat sandals for several hours and woke up the next day with that old familiar pain. The big boot is what my doctor gave me. I bought this one to wear in places where the big one isn't feasible. This boot feels and looks very similar to the one my surgeon gave me. The materials it's made of are almost identical at first look. However, the boot runs very big. I measured my foot according to the manufacturer instructions and it's at least a size, maybe size and a half too big. The velcro doesn't pull tight enough, so the boot is very loose and uncomfortable. The sole rocks like my prescription boot, but just in the center is a slick part which is VERY treacherous on my floors at work, where I am wearing this. The inside "sock" part jumbled all around and feels lumpy. Now I'm stuck with a too big, uncomfortable, dangerously slippery boot, or back to wearing the tall one. It feels like I'm wearing a clunky rubber brick on my foot instead of a protective cradle that will allow me to heal. Another negative is the instructions are unclear. Yet another negative is that the inside heel feels hard, definitely not a much padding as my prescribed boot. It does come with extra pads but no instructions on how to use them. This boot only looks like the kind you'd get from your doctor or medical supply company with an rx. But I absolutely do not recommend it, the quality is poor and they don't accept returns so you're stuck with it.

Has been helping my husband's foot feel better when he wears it! Durable as he wears it to work and he works outdoors. Nice size, not too big or clunky!

Little big … I ordered medium for size 81/2 ladies shoe.,having to pad it … not working.. too loose .. sending back for smaller size

I had sudden need of a short fracture boot. It arrived and I wore it for the next two weeks. It was exactly the right product. The construction is sound, the padding is very good, the Velcro straps were good quality and easy to open and close. It provided instant pain relief. I was walking on slippery ship decks and felt secure. The size was perfect and although I didn’t need warmth, it would have been fine in a cold climate with a heavy sock.
