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.

All true — it’s right there in the title: “comfortable walking boot with compression straps & air pump rocker bottom.” It was easily the most comfortable walking boot I tried during the fitting. An all-around quality and premium item!

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.

Well I ordered this since I ordered one 5 years ago. This time around. The inside part is cheap. The velcro doesn't work. I emailed them but they wanted me to return. I can't be without the boot so can't just return. I just wanted the inside replaced. The velcro is off so it doesnt stick. So I have to tape it. Its not worth it. Get it from another retailer.

Habe mir den Fuss gebrochen und den Rebound Schuh verschrieben bekommen. Wollte noch einen zweiten als sogenannten"Hausschuh" haben. Es ist nass und teilweise matschig draussen und es war mir zu unbequem, wenn man nach Hause kommt, erstmal mit einer umgewickelten Mülltüte um meinen Schuh zu laufen.Der Schuh hat eine genauso gute Qualität, wie der vom Arzt verschriebene.Ich muss ihn 12 Wochen tragen, da lohnt sich für mich der 2. Kauf. Ich habe Grösse M genommen bei Schuhgröße 39. Der Versand ging glücklicherweise sehr schnell.

La foto es diferente al producto recibido. En la publicación se ve una foto de una bota alta. Y es una bota corta

Excelente

Exceptionally comfortable and lightweight for a long wearing time. I have tried many others for my fractured foot, this is the best for my case. The only note I would say is that I trimmed the velcro strap on the front, it was about 3" too long.

A fantastic boot.I previously had a long boot but having this boot has been brilliant as I can't feel it on.I would highly recommend this boot and the suppliers with their excellent service.
