Ovation Medical Gen 2 Pneumatic Walking Boot - Lightweight, Low Profile CAM Walker Boot - Premium Medical Boot for Foot Injuries, Ankle Sprains, Fracture Recovery Support, & More (Short, Medium)

I was going to get the United Ortho brand but didn’t because they posted 2 different sizing charts so I felt uncomfortable guessing which size to go with. I chose this brand because of the certainty of fit and I also liked the fact that the air pump seemed more durable and the release valve was built in so no risk of losing a vital component. I’m 5’10” and 196 pounds. I wear a size 9 1/2 boot so I went with the Medium as per the chart. Fit is perfect. I have about 1/2 inch between the tip of my tows and the tip of the boot. I would say I have a medium to narrow foot but this boot has plenty of width to accommodate a wide foot. I have Achilles tendinitis and after struggling for a week with various wrap and lace type ankle braces, I decided to buy this and noticed great improvement after the first day. It’s also much easier and quicker to put on and take off because you aren’t having to struggle through shoe laces and weird straps to wrap your foot a certain way. You set your foot in and you know exactly what straps go where. The air bladder seems to hold the air all day for me. I can’t say for sure because I’ll wear it pumped up while walking but when I sit down in my office I like to deflate the boot and air it up again when I have to walk again. The curved soul definitely helps walking, or in my case, limping much easier. The boot feels a little heavy at first but I got use to it in about an hour. This was to be expected given the heavy duty support it offers. I highly, highly recommend this product. If you are suffering from Achilles tendinitis, don’t even waist your money on the other crap out there. If you don’t get this exact boot, at least get a full boot brace like this. It’s worth every penny. One other thing to mention. I’ve been using this boot with crutches for what it’s worth. I occasionally walk with this boot without crutches but that’s just when I’m cooking in the kitchen or walking short distances like around my car or across my living room or something.

Good value , helped me out after toe surgery, very stable , durable and rather comfortable. Once you figure it out rather easy to use. Fire true to size.

This has been a great boot for my ankle injury recovery. The velcro is quite noisy when fastening/unfastening but it does grip well and hasn't budged at all. I really appreciate the air cushion, as my injury has healed and swelling has gone down the boot still fits tight and my foot doesn't slide around when I pump it up. I find it easiest to get the right snugness and fit when I put this on when sitting on the floor or have my heal propped up so my foot slides back into the heel of the boot fully assisted by gravity. Then strap it on and pump it up before getting up. Daily wear for almost 3 months now, holding up great. I put a thin grocery bag or ziplock over my sock inside the boot when we went to an outdoor event in wet weather - with the air pumped up I still didn't slide around but my foot stayed dry. It is about a half inch to an inch more off the ground than my tallest soled shoe so it's a bit of a hobble but better than reinjury. I wore this on my driving foot and was able to drive my full size suv with care, plenty of foot room in my vehicle so your milage may vary. But I was pleasantly surprised because I thought I'd have to drive with my other foot for awhile. The inner air/sock layer is removable and could be washed. Probably would want to hand wash so you don't damage the air bladder but idk what the manufacturer recommends, I didn't save the package.

I got this boot to wear both pre and post surgery. The liner is falling apart. The Velcro does not stay put at all and comes off easily. The foam itself is crumbling at the top of the hard plastic of the boot. The actual plastic boot and its parts is fine. That's durable and does its job. It's just the liner part that sucks. I have gone to the Ovation website to try and find out about a replacement...that was over 4 months ago. Still waiting for a response. I have worn the boot in total about 6 weeks. It's not like it's hand a long time of use. Wore this thing again for the other foot. Bought industrial strength Velcro to try and fix the liner. It didn't stick. No response at all from the company. Won't buy again.

Nice product, light as advertised, the pump function helps to add stability. It is not as flat as said in the advertisement, hard to find a shoe with same height to feel balanced on both feet. The sole arc design is great to create a natural gate when walking. The additional pad is essential for me to avoid friction at the base of the leg in the front.

Like the boot, light but unfortunately will have to return as o can use it due having a skin flap. But would recommend
