United Ortho Air Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Medium, Black

I was very skeptical in general. I had ankle fusion surgery and it was my time to start to walk again. I'd been off my feet almost literally for around 6-7 weeks. I was scared to put pressure. The Cam boot really provided support coupled with the most important thing for me... confidence to take steps again. Fast forward to 2 weeks into re-walking with this boot. I'm doing great! I'm making strides everyday. I'm very confident in this support from the boot and look forward to fondly putting it away in a couple of months. You can rest easy with this purchase. It's a great decision. It's works great. It's also made with durability in mind and believe it or not. It's really comfortable too. It's for a little weight it but is easy to put in and take off and on again. It's quality. That's for sure.

This is the 3rd, yes 3rd time I've fractured the same foot in the last 25 years. Same foot, same fracture, same way. I had saved the original boot I got for the 1st fracture because you never know when you'll need it (which is why I have a stuffed storage shed). I used it for the last fracture 5 years ago, but it's old and getting worn out so I opted for a new one with better support. This boot is great! At first I thought it was too small because my toes stuck out over the edge. Then I read the instructions, put my foot in the back of the boot and kind of pushed it all the way back and now they're fine. No boot like this is going to be super comfortable, but this one is comfortable enough. It includes extra pads so you can add inside where the boot might rub. It is relatively easy to put it on and take off. Offers good support, much better than my old boot. I haven't used the pump feature so I don't know if that works. I purchased shoes the same height as the boot as it adds a little over 2" in height. Overall an excellent purchase.

Amazing quality and value. My Dr wrote a script for $300 out of pocket boot. This arrived next day and so comfy. The air pump function works so good.

I was recommended this CAM boot to help with my ankle sprain. It worked super well and was a lot cheaper than my insurance was going to charge. The size I got fit perfectly and it lasted great for the 2 months I needed to use it for. It does take a lot bit to get used to because of the weight difference but it is very durable and comfortable aside from the extra weight it adds to your leg. I do recommend wearing a sock or something cause it gets really hot and you can sweat a lot in it. It’s starts breaking down if you wash it in the washing machine like I did so just try to mitigate the problem as much as you can.

A very strong alternative to what you’ll get at your doctor’s office. Knob on the front to inflate the boot’s bladders moves a little more freely than I’d like, but it works well and didn’t cost me $500 which was what I was quoted at the doctor’s office. I’ve been wearing the boot for three weeks now and it’s comfortable, sturdy and has supported my ankle through changes in swelling. This was referred to me by a medical professional.

So far this product has been really good for my Posterior Tibial Tendonitis, probable stress fracture and extra Navicular bone sticking into my sore tendon. The main reason I'm writing this review is to help women decide between the Small or Medium size in the tall boot. I wear a womens 8-8.5 which is in the "dead zone" right between the two sizes. I definitely didn't want it too small or too big. I had been wearing my husband's Large size low boot while I waited 3 weeks for an appointment with the podiatrist. That boot was so big, it couldn't get tight enough, allowing my foot to rattle around in it. It made things worse because what I needed was stability. BUT it did come in handy to try and figure out which size to buy. I took the measurements of his boot and compared them to my foot length which is about 9 3/4". The Small size is about 10" long (inside measurement when the padding is in place), so I felt reasonably sure it would fit fine. I ordered it and received it promptly. What a huge difference having the proper size makes, not only for a comfortable fit, but eliminating unnecessary excess weight and bulk! I have about 1/4-1/2" from my toe to the front edge of the boot, which is perfect. While his short boot cut into my calf in various places, even with the foam pads that come with it, the tall boot in the correct size does not do that at all. I get around just fine on it all day and that includes walking on uneven, hilly terrain on my property. (And the spots are from taking off the plastic bag I was wearing to paint before washing out my brush with a hose! Don’t tell my podiatrist!) I had dreaded having to wear it for 6 weeks but I don't even notice it much at all. Nice surprise! Hopefully this helps women in the size 8-8.5 range make the right choice of boot size, especially since our size falls right between the 2 options. The photo looks really bulky but I'm over 5'8" with normal calf size and it doesn't look so chunky in real life. I think the angle is distorting it because I'm standing over it shooting downward. I recommend this boot, especially since the podiatrist wanted $150 and this one was a much better price! I just had to wait a couple of days to get it.

Don't let the el cheap-o price of this boot fool you: its a great boot! It's constructed well -- if not exactly the same-- as mid-priced boots. It lacks the fancy name but who cares?! I actually bought TWO boots here on Amazon (this one obviously) the one that claimed to be "low profile" really was NOT!! And it was more than twice the price of this one. However, Low Profile Boot -- which had a really nice fancy label -- had an impressive video & important looking pictures of the technology & proven statements that it was the same height as a sneaker. It also hyped up a rounder bottom. I wore it for 2 weeks, around the house only, and the bottom (which the rounder bottom was scary-slippery) started to peel off!! Here's the real deal: Low Profile just looked lower on the outside. The rocker bottom also aids in it looking lower. It is maybe 1-2 cm lower, in reality, than this boot. It was also really uncomfortable. The inside sleeve didn't go around my calves well, and there was something that dug into the inside of my ankle which was right where my incision was. The little pieces of foam (2 for the Low Profile Boot) were very thin and wore out within the two weeks I wore the boot around the house only. This boot is very comfortable. It doesn't dig in in any specific place and has 4 thicker pads of foam that hold up really well. I've worn this boot around the house and outside. Holding up very well with quite rigorous use. I wear a size 8.5 women's shoe and have on-the-larger size calves and this size Medium is perfect. You could go up to a size 10 I would think as there is quite a lot of room in the front. Some suggestions for the newbies: (things I wish someone would have told me) My suggestion is to get an "Even Up" leveler for your other shoe so you don't get a sore back or knees. You can search for it here on Amazon. It's about $30. The first time you use the boot, don't pull the Pull Up tabs out yet!! Fit the sleeve first, then, while sitting in a chair and the boot on the floor, put your sleeved leg inside the boot. Push your heel as back as you can. If you have tightness in the Achilles, you will not want to pull the Pull Up tab out until your ligaments/tendons have stretched enough to put your foot in at a 90 degree angle. So save the Pull Up tab until later. (it has Velcro to stick to the sides of the foot sleeve to keep it in place) If your Achilles is tight, stretch it out before you put the boot on for the day. Once you are in the boot, secure your toes first, then the ankle, then work your way up the boot. It's a little tricky with the Velcro straps at first. Mine would get all tangled up or fall off or stick to something else - if you stick the Velcro onto itself when removing, you'll always know exactly where the strap is. If the toe and ankle Velcro are too long, don't cut them!! Just bend it back and tuck it into the strap holder. Then it won't be hanging out. The blue inflator does work -- you just need to follow the arrows to tighten it when inflating, and loosen when deflating. Don't blow it up too much until you get a feel for how tight you want/need it to be. It will also POP if you inflate it too much or try to take it off when it is still inflated. Good luck... sorry about you wearing a boot -- but you are going to save a few hundred bucks buying this cheap gem!

The boot is well made and helps support my turf toe injury, but the liner is too short, causing pain. My toes hang out over the edge of the liner. Boot length is perfect. The product image doesn't match the reality of the liner. Called customer support. They were very nice, but basically couldn't help. So I will be glueing foam padding to the footbed in hopes that my toes will be supported. Not super excited to have to turn my new $70 medical item into a pieced together art project.

Sprained my ankle or foot lol and certainly does the trick.

It was recommended by the doctor, this brand specifically. The boot fits perfectly, thanks to it the person I bought it for can walk better after ankle surgery and thus have a better recovery process. I totally recommend it. La recomendó el doctor, esta marca en especifico. La bota se ajusta perfectamente, gracias a ella a quien se la compre ya puede caminar mejor después de la cirugía en el tobillo. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Excelente producto y de muy buena calidad, yo lo utilicé en un esguince de tobillo de 2do grado y me ayudó a caminar y acelerar mi recuperación, además de que con la nota me sentí más independiente. Muy recomendado y a un excelente precio.
