United OrthoAir Cam Walker Fracture Boot, Medium, Black

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!

I’ve had issues with both legs for years since haglunds surgery. Been in and out of these air cast stabilization boots for almost a decade. I will say that this one is the best I’ve had and it’s CHEAP. The straps are smart in that they are padded where there is run points ( double in the ankle) the straps also have a folded over end so they are easy to find and adjust, the air bladder is snug and uniform in support, good traction, and the angle your foot stays in while walking, sleeping or what ever is comfortable. Some of the others I’ve had need a heel support to change angles. I’ve had it on for multiple long stints and this thing is awesome. The value holds relatively well too. Absolutely a great purchase for a stabilizing boot.

I rarely write reviews unless I'm absolutely blown away by a product. I recently ordered the United Ortho USA Air Cam Walker boot and have been absolutely impressed with the quality. My son broke his foot several months ago and we paid $250 for a walking boot from our hospital that was about 1/3 the quality of this one. A few days ago, I missed the last step at our house and broke my foot, so I declined the walking boot the hospital was going to issue me and ordered the UnitedOrtho one instead hoping it would be at least as good as the one we had before. Not only is it more so much more affordable, but its way more comfortable and the overall quality of construction is far better. If anyone is looking for a boot, don't look any further. You WILL NOT be disappointed. Please note: I'm not incentivized in any way for this review. I'm just a very happy customer. :)

Ive had my fair share of Cam boots over the last 20 years. I gsve 4 stars instead of 5 because, where the air pump thingy is, it digs into my shin pretty badly and its causing me significant pain there (admittedly i do a lot of walking dor my job, yes even injured so maybe that plays a role) the "comfort pads" do help...but would it hurt to "prepad it" like so i don't have to hunt around for them after removing the boot for the night? I do place them in the boot but some how 2 have already gone missing....ill figure out my own padding now....but that is my only complaint....other than that the boot works and fits as it should! Definitely worth the $! Plus saved me around $200! Ordering from the drs office is upwards of $240! Js

What a find! This was the exact orthotic my doctor wanted me to wear for 6 months. I have been in an older type and needed a new one d/t the length of treatment. He found it for half the price it was going to cost out of pocket. I wear an 8 wide shoe and the small fits perfect. It’s comfortable, durable and easy to put on. The rocker bottom makes walking easy even in Upstate NY winter. There is a good tread on the bottom. I highly recommend.

I had to buy due to muscle tears in my calf and Achilles. The boot I previously had from an orthopedic surgeon I gave away. I was looking for a comparable boot and I can say this one is a winner. Almost exactly the same as my previous boot. Very sturdy and supportive. The straps are nice and wide and the back is ridged and strong. For the price it is a great deal. The rocker bottom is easy to walk on. Boot comes up to just below the knee and is helping to keep my muscles from tearing further. Airing the boot up gives extra comfort and is very easy to do if you follow the instructions. I will also recommend getting an even up for your leg with your regular shoe. This helps tremendously keep your legs the same height and walking more secure.
