Aircast AirSelect Walker Brace/Walking Boot (Elite, Short and Standard)

The Aircast AirSelect Walker Brace/Walking Boot is excellent! It provides strong support and stability for foot or ankle injuries, making walking much more comfortable during recovery. The adjustable straps and air cushioning allow for a customized fit, and the boot feels sturdy yet not overly bulky. I’ve found it to be durable and effective at reducing pain while protecting the injured area.

I rarely write reviews, but this deserves one. I bought this after having ankle surgery to remove the lower portion of my fibula and reconstruct the tendons and ligaments to attach to the remaining fibula, a procedure that requires at least 6 weeks of no weight bearing on my right ankle. My doctor had fit me in a typical boot which was okay, but it felt like a lot of weight was pulling on the ankle joint itself. I just could not get comfortable despite adjusting the straps and air bladder at least 100 times a day but I could not get comfortable and by the end of the day, my leg was exhausted and achy just from the weight of the boot. I ordered the elite version of this boot and it have had it on about 4 hours and I can already feel how much my ankle discomfort has improved! As there is a solid piece over the foot area, there is no longer any pulling on my ankle joint and I am about as comfortable as a person could be with a torture device on. I love that there are separate pressures in each of the regions so I can make tiny adjustments in tightness around my ankle, making sure it can’t move, but in a much more controlled way so that it doesn’t squeeze my leg. I spent $350 for the one provided by my physician (and only about $60 on Amazon), and $100 for this one. In addition, it is not as bulky and is easier to move around. It is one of the best purchases I’ve ever made in terms of how much better it is than the standard version. My recovery is going to be much less painful, irritating, and awkward due to this awesome boot!! If you are having ankle surgery and know you will need a tall boot, I would recommend purchasing prior to your surgery so you have it with you when you go in for the procedure. The only bad thing was that I couldn’t use my HSA card to pay for it.

The boot works as advertised. I wish I had it when I broke my ankle. Now I have a stress fracture in foot. It's perfect. Read the directions. Easy to use. I have 12.5 shoe. Large standard is perfect.

I bought this walking boot for foot fractures, and it has been working really well so far. The air bladder system is one of the best features—it allows you to adjust the tightness easily, giving a snug and secure fit. Once inflated, it provides excellent support around the heel and ankle, which really helps stabilize the injury and makes walking feel much safer. The biggest advantage, though, is the price. If you get a similar boot through a doctor’s office, it can easily cost around $250. Getting this on Amazon for about $70 is a huge savings for essentially the same function and support. Overall, this is a great value purchase—solid support, adjustable comfort, and a much better price than going through medical providers. Highly recommend if you need a reliable fracture boot without overpaying.

Nice product does the job comfortable, stable but if you’re gonna spend the money buy the Elite. I got that one first in a small but needed a medium was not going to be able to get the medium in time to leave for vacation. So I thought thats fine I will get the other cant be that much of a difference I was wrong. The elite the bottom has a much smoother roll to it so much more comfortable to walk in. The other one even though it was slightly to short in the toes fit so I took a walk around the house it worked great. The cheaper while it functions fine does not have as smooth a gate as the elite (no I am not getting paid for this review yes my opinion is real).

Fits well, easy to adjust straps and air bladders for a secure fit. Extra padding across top cover is an added comfort. 10/10 would recommend. Got this bc I have a 4th metatarsal break and it has helped so much. Waited for my review to have a good week or so to really see how it works. Very satisfied will purchase again if I need to

This boot was a game changer for me. I have a small fracture in my right foot and must wear a boot for several weeks. I had been using a standard boot provided by my hospital. It was black, heavy, and clunky and similar to many available on Amazon. Most are less expensive than this boot. I was attracted to the Aircast because I thought it would be lighter in weight and it looked like it had a lower profile. I purchased the elite version first, but returned it because you must use the flap that covers the toes and, living in a hot climate, I thought that would be uncomfortable. I then ordered the standard Aircast short boot in size Small. I wear a women’s size 8 shoe and have a narrow foot. The sole of this boot is a little over 10 inches long and the toe pad extends about a quarter of an inch beyond the sole of the boot. It fits my foot perfectly. There are two features that I especially like. First the air cells allow me to inflate the boot around my ankle to very comfortably hold my foot stable. Second, what they call the “Soft Strike technology” makes my heel feel more like it is in a sneaker and definitely contributes to a natural walking gate. Finally, it is easy to put on and take off. This boot costs a bit more than others, but it is 100% worth the extra cost as it gives me 100% more comfort and mobility.

10 years ago I had to wear an Aircast brand boot for 8 weeks post surgery. At that time I had no issues with comfort or durability. This time, I have received and tried multiple Aircast boots on and each one of them had issues. Two of them had air pockets that lost all of the air within 30 minutes of inflating, one of those boots also had a defective inflation device. Another boot had a poorly applied velcro strip that was only attached on by the lower portion. I tried to stick it back in place, but the glue strip was messed up. I eventually received a boot that worked. However, within a week of use one of the air pockets deflated and would no longer would hold any air. In addition to the leak, one evening, the Velcro that was on the lower part of the removable front plate ripped a hole in the padded liner when I lifted the plate off to switch into my nighttime boot. I taped over the Velcro to prevent it from further damaging the liner. Without a working air pocket on one side I had to customize foam stick-ons on one side to try to get by. Because I have a broken toe that still needs another few weeks to heal, I am now stuck wearing a boot that hurts. The company has obviously redesigned the inflation device (the old one had a blue hand held pump device). The new design has built in pump devices on either side of the boot that attach to directly to each air pocket. I think there must be a poor or flimsy connection with air pockets or else all of the parts other than the plastic boot itself have simply declined in quality. I recommend you buy a different brand.

Loved it, I walked after 90 days. This gave me confidence

It was delivered very fast and the quality is high. Recommend if you need one.

I returned it back and still waiting for refund. The product I recieved was very low quality and not an aircast by any means.
