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)

I sprained my toe and couldn't bear to put the slightest weight on that foot. I didn't want to go to a doctor due to the pandemic. I ordered this boot and when it arrived I was finally able to put my foot on the ground again! Besides helping my mobility, the boot also stabilizes and protects my toe (I'm also using an elastic splint for buddy-taping but it is flexible so it doesn't provide a firm base). This keeps my toe from moving the wrong way and protects it from bumps. I used one of the extra pads under my toes and it provided extra cushiony support, cradling my toes. The boot does get a bit hot so I try to take it off and keep my foot up as much as possible. It is very well made and looks like great value for the price. I wear a size 7.5 and ordered a Small, and it fits me perfectly. The velcro closures allow for a customized fit. Excellent to have in the house especially when trying to avoid doctor visits!

I 'rolled' my ankle and fell and my ankle was very swollen and black and blue. I bought a simple ankle brace at Walgreen's but it was uncomfortable and did not prevent ankle movement = pain. I ordered this boot and the swelling had subsided a bit, making it easier to wear. I have small ankles normally so I was afraid that the boot would be too big, but it came with three neoprene inserts which let me get a perfect fit. It's been a month since the injury and I am still wearing the boot. I just had an MRI to see why I am so slow to regain use of the ankle. Turns out their is a hairline fracture and tendon damage. The podiatrist said that my boot appeared to be very well made and I will need to keep using it for awhile. Needless to say, my boot is MUCH less expensive than the one that the podiatrist had available.

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!

It provides the support I need, but it did not come with the extra little pad/cushion indicated.

I broke my right foot in 3 places. 3rd, 4th, & 5th metatarsals. My foot sat well enough in the boot to relieve all of the pain. I could walk on it without any trouble. Also, it has a rocker like bottom so it mimicked the motion of the foot well enough to make walking comfortable. The cushioning inside is perfect and it fit me perfect and is true to size, and it came with additional little cushions to put on bony areas if needed. I LOVED THIS BOOT and totally recommend it. It's been almost 6 weeks and I'm walking without the boot now. NOTE: Because this boot makes your gait uneven, I wore a platform type 'black' (to match the boot) shoe on the other foot to somewhat balance the height between legs, so that I didn't walk crooked or throw out a hip or disk by walking unevenly. It worked out very well that way.

I went to urgent care yesterday morning for a suspected broken big toe. When the doc confirmed that the toe was indeed broken, he wrote me an RX for a CAM Walking Boot. Since my insurance wouldn't cover it, I decided to simply purchase off of Amazon with same-day shipping (no RX needed). The boot arrived the same day, and saved me from driving around to medical supply stores to find a boot. While the conventional guidance is that there is nothing that you can do for a broken toe, please check with your doctor! I've broken other toes before, and been left with arthritis because they didn't heal properly. This time I wanted to make sure I was taking every precaution to make sure that I wouldn't have problems in the future. Pros: - Inexpensive. I am sure this is way less than what I would've spent at a medical supply store - Easy to use. The boot isn't complicated, and it's fairly simple to take on and off - Breathable. Because the boot is not fully encased in plastic, it lets your foot breath a little bit. You will still be hot because of the neoprene material though, so don't expect to be too comfortable. - Extra foam and Velcro tabs make this adjustable - It keeps your foot stable so your toes can heel - The neoprene-type cloth that wraps around your foot is hand-washable Cons: - It's VERY difficult to get this boot tight enough so that my ankle/foot movement is limited. Like another customer, I had to wrap a dish-towel around my calf several times and then really buckle down the Velcro. If I had known that I would have this problem, I would've purchased a boot that you can pump up with air to tighten the area around your calf/ankle. My quick fix is working, but is making my leg/ankle very warm because of all of the extra layering. - Like other customers have mentioned, the sizing is challenging. I am a size 6.5 to 7, and purchased the small. The boot is a good 2 inches too long for me. My toes do not come close to touching the end of the boot. Things that are beyond this boot's control... - Anytime you wrap up your foot you will be hot. Anytime your foot gets hot, it will probably sweat and be uncomfortable. I'm definitely uncomfortable, but I know it's not the boot's fault. - Having a foot injury is awful. This boot is not going to fix all of your problems, but it may help your recovery be less painful. - Walking boots elevate your stance on one leg to be a good 2 inches or so higher than the other. You will be walking like Quasimodo. Find a good shoe for your other foot with a little lift in the heel to balance out your hips and your stride.

I needed something to protect the outside top of my foot while it healed and this did the trick! I have size 8.5W feet, and I was worried the small would be too small, but it fit well. I don't need any of the extra inserts. The boot is very lightweight and doesn't bother me as I keep up with two toddlers. I am able to walk, sit, crouch, go up and down stairs, and all my usual movements. The boot helps me and the kids remember to leave that foot alone. The one negative, as other reviewers have mentioned, is that it is quite squeaky as all the velcro and things move around. I am used to it now, but you won't be sneaking up on anyone. Overall, I am very pleased and highly recommend this boot!

Does the job.

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.
