---|---|---|
Step 1Open all the straps. Take the liner out of the boot. Place your foot in the liner making sure to slide your heel to the back of the liner. For proper fit, completely remove the top strap. *Additional comfort pads provided to fill gaps in the liner and provide additional padding where needed. |
Step 2Close liner starting at your toes. Make sure the liner is snug around your foot and leg. |
Step 3Place your foot with liner inside the boot making sure your heel is pushed all the way to the back of the boot. Attach and fasten the top strap once your foot is in the proper position. |
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Step 4Fasten the straps starting at the toes and working up. *Toes may extend past end of the liner. If toes extend past rigid shell, a larger size is needed. Be sure your heel is properly positioned in the back of the boot. *If numbness, tingling, or other discomfort is experienced, loosen the strap until comfortable. If any of these symptoms persist, contact your medical professional. |
Step 5To inflate: Turn “inflate/deflate” know clockwise until it stops turning. Press and release blue air bulb several times until the air liner provides desired support. *Liner may expand during initial use. Additional pumps may be required to return to desired support. |
Step 6To deflate: Turn “inflate/deflate” knob counterclockwise until it stops turning. *If air liner is fully deflated, it may take upwards of 50 pumps to feel the desired support |

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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 cast is incredibly easy to use, just make sure you deflate it before putting it on. My cast was partially inflated so my heel didn't go all the way to the back until I deflated it.
Price-wise, this cast also wins big points; the university doctor was going to give me the same cast for $120! Since my insurance is high-deductible and we haven't met our threshold yet, it was much cheaper to order from here. I ordered two-day shipping and it got here in two days.
Lastly, the comfort is impeccable with just one conditional exception that I'll mention later. I got this cast for a metatarsal stress fracture because walking with regular shoes was very painful. When I wear the boot there isn't any pain whatsoever in my foot, and I've already noticed some improvement. The only exception in comfort I noticed a pinching sensation the first day I wore it, but it went away after some time so I didn't pay it much thought, When I got home and took off the cast, a patch of skin on my leg was hairless! I watched some videos online before ordering this cast and they said to wear knee-high socks when using a product like this, which I was not doing. I figure wearing a sock would have prevented the issue, and it could also just be that my leg hairs are peculiar this way since I've had a similar thing happen before with a pair of shorts.
Overall, this is a great product; it does its job, it's cheap, it's comfortable, and I would recommend it to anyone with one of the listed conditions. I'll update my review to 5 stars if it withstands the test of time and lasts until my recovery.
