Ossur Rebound Air Walker Boot | Comfortable Walking Boot with Compression Straps & Air Pump Rocker Bottom | Walking Boot for Broken Foot, Walking Boot for Sprained Ankle (Low Top, Medium)

I'm having to spend at least two months in a boot, and am extremely grateful to have found a more comfortable, supportive system. I had two serious ankle surgeries in two years dealing with a badly torn ligament. All this stems from a thirty year-old injury incurred while running long distance in the mountains. I was hurtling down a mountainside one summer when a university physician came jogging up the path pretentiously waving his cross-country ski poles on dry ground. He suddenly jerked his pole to the side and tripped me up, thus causing an extremely serious tear in the ankle; it was never the same. Now, two surgeries out, with the ankle finally beginning to do better, a bicyclist come at me on a walking path; dodging this re-injured the vulnerable ankle with a new tear. It had less "give" anyway. Now, I'm hoping to avoid surgery! I wore Ossur's older model after the first two surgeries: Ossur Air Equalizer Hi Top Walking Boot , which was quite good. Other reviewers said that the tall boot was more supportive than the tempting shorter one. So I thought I'd give this new, updated version a try. It's really good, but for the design flaw with a strap that goes right across the instep. It presses down on the instep and top of the foot the more you inflate the boot. And the range of adjustment for the instep area is limited, given where you have to fit it at the top where the pump is. The half-boot doesn't have this problem, and seems to be an improved, more recent design; even the padding is better. But this tall boot is still much easier to get on/off than the old tall version, lighter, and easier to ambulate in. It doesn't cause the Frankenstein effect of the good old boot, since it's not as heavy or thick-soled. My podiatrist doesn't even use this high-tech model yet. PS: If you've just twisted your ankle, your doc may suggest a boot. I'm not a doctor, but my advice, after serious sprains and 2 surgeries by a highly regarded specialist who just wants to operate a 3rd time (after being clueless when I came in with a sprain on the damaged ankle; he seems to have forgotten how to properly treat injuries to heal them & prevent surgery) is: try at least 2-3 weeks on crutches, with your ankle in a boot or ace-bandages. Then slow rehab. When I think back, it was old-fashioned treatment that worked best: ice, elevation, wrapping, and crutches did the trick. Nowadays, docs just want to cut. Beware!

I've had numerous foot issues over the years, and hated the boots I was forced to deal with. I researched walking boots and had chosen this one and kept it in my cart for several years. I am revising my original review because it took some time to figure it out. THIS IS THE BEST BOOT I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!!!!! The Small size was supposed to fit 5.5 - 8.5 size feet. I wear size 7 shoes and my toes were to the limit of the boot, so if your shoe size is 7.5+ you will want a MEDIUM. If you are not sure about sizing, CALL THE MANUFACTURER for advice. The protective "cover" will appear to be way too long - HOWEVER, it's learning how to position it that will make it work for you. PLEASE NOTE that many medical boots are not returnable, so do your homework!! It may take a little time to get the protective cover positioned correctly, but the large air inflator button location can be adjusted, so be patient to make it work for you. I was originally very frustrated with the boot, but it was "operator error" on my part. I've revised my original review. If you have foot and ankle injuries or issues, this will likely be the best boot to help you heal. IT"S A WINNER. It is comfortable, supportive, and will protect your injured foot.

Good sturdy orthopedic boot offering cushioning and protection for my fractured ankle. The medium size is a bit large for my 8.5W women's size foot, but better that than too small. The velcro straps are quite long and hang off the edge of the boot. I couldn't get the front shield piece placed properly over the air pump so I just didn't use it. But the air pump itself was extremely helpful in providing just the right amount of pressure for a good fit, which varied as the swelling went down.

Not a terrible boot. Was put in the tall one of these at the hospital when I came in with an ankle injury to urgent care. Wasn’t bad but started to become uncomfortable and gave me shin cramps. I kept searching online for a shorter boot and finally found the same tall boot I had in a shorter fit. I also wanted this boot because I was trying to use the scooter with the tall boot it was highly uncomfortable especially since I was going to have to bring my son to a concert. This short boot of the same thing is great. Much more comfortable then the tall one however puts pressure on my foot when I have to stand for a little while

‼️‼️⚠️⚠️⚠️☣️I ordered this on May 20 and received it May 21 around 8 AM and I literally just opened it about 20 minutes after it arrived. It was packaged with other things that I ordered, and when I took it out, I realized it was used covered in animal hair. it covered everything else that I had ordered in animal hair since it was all packaged in one box. I’m sensitive to skin irritation and animal hair and since I opened it, I can’t stop feeling itchy. It’s really unhygienic and very disappointed that it was package with all my other things and have to somehow sanitize it and somehow remove all this pet hair that’s in my house that is so fine and barely visible. For $79 you would assume to get a brand new item not a used one. Definitely unhygienic since I don’t know what the other previous persons foot may possess like athlete foot or other types of foot fungus. I will be returning it and getting my full refund. I’m more bothered by the animal hair that came in the package. What would have happened if someone else opened it with a very severe allergic reaction. If it’s a used product, you shouldn’t have to pay full price for a use product as if it was brand new. Don’t recommend it! Now I have to clean my house from who knows what micro insects or fleas.

It fits as described. I am a 8.5 women's and the small fit perfect. It is comfortable and easy to put on. Takes all pressure off my heal.

Kind of comfortable but walking in it is an absolute nightmare because the toe of the boot is not pointed up. That makes it where instead of walking normal like I did with my other boot, you actually struggle to walk any bit reasonable. The Velcro is quite strong and the air bladder on it works well. It is very comfortable but I would recommend a boot with a higher pointed toe.

This is the 2nd boot I've worn. The first one was a mid high boot and was awful. I dreaded having to walk a step in it because it was flat bottom, gave me sores on my leg and poor design, despite it having a lot of 5 star reviews. This boot is the opposite. As comfortable as I could expect from a boot, it has a good pad on bottom so everyone can't hear you walking through the house, protected toe in the front so you don't pick up dirt and grass in the front of the boot if you had to walk outside, a contoured bottom so it feels more natural walking and plus my Achilles has felt so much better in this boot than the last. If you need a boot, this is the one. No need to continue your search.
