I was considering this support but was concerned about calf size. Shoe size I am looking at needing a Medium but was concerned as I have a large diameter calf. 17"
Question by: Vandy on Jul 31, 2015, 1:03 PM
The pnuematic air cells allow for a customized fit and can accommodate a larger calf size.

I ruptured my achilles tendon and have had surgery. I'm in the second phase of a cast with my next phase being a walking boot. Could you recommend a walking boot that I would need? I want to show my doctor and see if they will allow me to use. I'm a size 9 shoe and wonder what size I would need. My leg has atrophied some since my surgery. Thank you.

The MaxTrax Air Walking Boot wold work gret for you and it comes either with or without a hinge. The hinge is used to restrict ankle movement if you doctor wants to do that once you come out of cast. https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-maxtrax-rom-air-walker

I've had a drop foot (lower leg paralysis, severed sciatic nerve, hit-and-run driver) for 40 years and the ankle joint is very unstable. Any lateral movement or pronation or supination is painful. I've run the gamut of AFO's and nothing really works. I'm very athletic, including competitive rowing, and wish to keep at it. Rowing requires driving off your feet. Would the SP be suitable? Also how do I submit my MD's scrip for Medicare? Can't get through on your '800' number.

You will not be able to do anything active in the SP Walker. This is for immobilization of the foot and ankle. I would suggest the Velocity Ankle Brace either moderate support of extra support. The brace has a hinge which should help prevent laterl movment while being in a shoe. https://www.donjoystore.com/donjoy-velocity-ankle-brace

What is the difference between the FP and the SP air cast?
I am very mobile at work, I'm looking for a cast that is curved at the bottom for easy walking, but also takes maximum pressure off the front of my foot.

The SP is short pneumatic and FP is Foam Pneumatic. The FP is a taller boot and is for ankle and lower leg injuries. The SP walker is shorter and for foot injuries. They both have a rocker bottom

Answer urgently needed! My daughter (16) is wearing an Aircast SP (low model) for sesamoiditis and her doctor has recommended padding it beneath her heel and around her ankle and low calf area, because wearing the cast is causing her additional pain. She wears a 6 1/2 shoe and was given the size small--she is a ballet dancer and has very narrow heels, tiny ankles and small calves. Would the pediatric boot be better, and/or what materials do you recommend for padding beneath the heel? They recommended rolled-up washcloths on the sides of her leg.
If she tightens the boot around her ankle or adds more air, this causes numbness.

She is wearing the correct size boot. To pad the heel you can purchase a Dr. Scholls gel heel pad from your pharmacy. Try only pumping a slight amount of air into the boot for the sides, other wise you can use a sock to pad those areas

Hi I have a medium Aircast walking brace. I am trying to find a shoe that matches the rise of this boot so I don't have so much imbalance when I walk. Can you tell me the rise and the drop of this boot?
Thanks
Thanks

The depth of the heel from inside to the sole of the boot is 1.7" We also have the evenup shoe balancer to use instead of buying thicker shoes. https://www.donjoystore.com/procare-evenup-shoe-balancer
