BraceAbility Short Walking Boot - Orthopedic Medical Walker Cast for Broken Toe Injuries, Sprained Ankles, Metatarsal Stress, Post-Op Support Left or Right Foot Fracture Shoe Fits Men and Women (S)

Very happy with the product so far. I suffer from chronic Achilles tendonosis and wear a night splint which helps tremendously but can’t walk in it, hence the reason for this purchase. I’m hoping that this brace will help immobilize the ankle somewhat and keep it flexed so that it can heal. The brace appears well made and is very padded and comfortable. I am 5’ 4” and 190lbs so a little chunky but not super big in the leg area. Fits my calf area fine. I wear an 9 to 9 1/2 W in shoes depending on brand and the boot is good width wise and it leaves me at least an inch in length past the toes and my toes are not visible when sock wrap is closed. I probably could have went with a small sz boot and been fine. I have no swelling with my particular issue so there is plenty of room in the boot but not excessively so. It came with 3 very soft pads that can be placed wherever needed to customize comfort. The air bladder functions adequately to help adjust fit. It is comfortable to walk in but will take getting used to as it will change your gait. I can really feel it on outside upper thigh/hip area. Difficult to tell how much immobilization of the ankle there is as far as flexion up and down but I think it’s helping. This would be great for sprained ankle as side to side stabilization is very good. Amendment - have had the boot for a while now and it is so comfy. I can walk well in it. I wear it strictly around the house and it helps keep my foot flexed and tendon stretched which prevents the pain from setting in. Holding up well. I would recommend wearing a shoe with a thicker sole on opposite foot to help balance you out but it’s not much of an issue. I would purchase this product again if needed. Update- had the boot for over three months now and have started wearing it at night instead of my regular night splint because it gives better stabilization (my foot doesn’t slip out) and is more comfortable. I thought the bulk of the boot would be an issue but it hasn’t bothered me. Will definitely buy again when it wears out.

This was perfect I injured my ankle and had to wait to get into orthopedics and so this fit just right in the interim also it was so comfortable for what I thought it would be and did the job. Held up well to me walking all day it seems like a good quality product with great support.

This boots really helped my daughter's foot.

This is a super high quality boot, and I was surprised to get it for about $40. I wear a size 11 woman's athletic shoe (10 wide in regular shoe), and have very thick ankles...so I ordered the extra large boot. I'd read a bunch of reviews about the size and felt good about my decision to buy the XL. Wore the boot for three days, but it is actually too big - and without an inflatable liner that allows me to adjust the fit, I can't really use it. Totally my fault for buying something like this without being able to try it on...so I'm not giving a negative review because it was my decision. The boot is very sturdy construction and was very comfortable in general. The only issue I had with it is that the interior of the boot was too loose. I went to a craft store and bought upholstery foam to try and sculpt the inside a bit more, but it didn't work. I'd already walked on the boot at that point and I knew I couldn't return it. I will donate it to our local shelter, where I'm sure they can put it to good use or sell it in their thrift store.

Sprained my big toe and almost ripped my entire nail off because my toe got caught in my long flowy stretchy pants (BE CAREFUL, THOSE PANTS ARE DANGEROUS). I'm fairly young, in my 30s, and if I'd have been older it would have been a much worse situation. I went DOWN and came really close to hitting my head on a table. Couldn't even get off the floor for 20 minutes because of the pain. Just a PSA before my actual review of the boot. This boot is AWESOME. I went from worrying that I had done extensive damage to my foot, to hobbling around almost back to normal for my daily activities (no driving, obviously). No, the boot didn't miraculously heal me, but it sure as heck beats the equipment I got from the hospital in both effectiveness and price (can't wait to see how much the crutches are on my final bill). For around $30 I went from being in pain to having a safe way to protect my toe and keep it healing while I continue to do my job that has me on my feet all day. The comfort of the boot is pretty standard. I do wish they came with a couple more pads, BUT it comes with four and for most people that's probably sufficient. It's definitely enough to do the job. The boot is sturdy, and the straps are easily adjusted. I have what I like to call "athletic" calves (aka they're so fat I can't wear normal boots), and there is PLENTY of room in the calf area, so no worries there! Highly recommend. Can't beat this thing for the price!

PROS: - Very nice boot at a great price (~$40 or so). - Width (could be a pro or con): If you have very wide ankles, plus swelling, plus want to wear a wrap or put an ice pack in this boot, there's lots of space. - Comes with 4 pieces of foam to slightly improve the fit. CONS: - Width: Unless the circumstances above apply, you may find this boot to be way too wide. (I'm 5'0", 103 lbs, and wear a US women's size 5 or 5.5 shoe. I bought the XS [to fit sizes 4-6], and it's so wide it provided me NO support, even with all 4 foam pieces. - No air option to improve the fit. SUGGESTION: Get a boot with the AIR PUMP instead! Most are around $50-90 retail and let you fine-tune the fit to provide the stability needed to heal properly. Plus that air really reduces a lot of the pain. Super comfortable! I couldn't find XS with air anywhere, so my doctor gave me one (which'll cost $0-$275 depending on insurance). Even at $275, it would be worth every penny for 1) stabilizing my ankle so it heals properly (avoiding future issues and medical bills) and 2) the pain relief.

I got a big boot from urgent care that went all the way up my knee for my fractured foot. It was so heavy and too big, my foot was swimming in it. It felt like heaven when I put this on. It was much lighter, shorter, and my foot was secure and not bouncing all over the place in the boot.

This is a super sturdy and easy to live with surgical boot great for patients who want to keep moving during their recovery. So much better than the flimsy ones the hospitals give (sell) you. I bought this one before my surgery and had it approved by my doctor of course, then brought it to the hospital. I’m always nervous I don’t get enough support with boots like this because I’m a big guy, but this one is really well designed and holds my foot and ankle just tight enough to let me get around but not so tight that it restricts any circulation. Easy to clean, great traction on all surfaces, and provides more than enough protection for my size 15 B flippers. 😜 This is really an excellent product that’s well worth the money. I would easily suggest it to anyone who needs one. Best of luck with your recovery!

I have been using this now for 1 week, firstly the inner is horribly made, it offers zero support for my sprained ankle. The boots ankle strap works way better than this monstrosity. Also, I have experienced alot of pain in my food while wearing. Also the plastic quality is nice but it offers me zero support

A life-saver from Amazon. You can even survive without crutches and tackle the shinkansen with this. Next day delivery. Absolutely immobilizes the foot so you can slowly get where you need to. Great quality and construction.

Still haven't received

I choose size middle according to the chart but I still feel like it’s smaller than expected but otherwise it’s doing a good job for my ankle and I’m much more comfortable than the previous one I had
