“Air Walker”

Reviewed by Mary on 07 September 2011

I found this product to be excellent, very comfortable to wear.

I broke a metatarsel bone in my left foot and was in plaster for 8 weeks, after the plaster was removed I was told my foot had not healed properly. I asked them not to put me back in plaster, they agreed and told me to take care and rest as much as possible, they want to see me again 20th September 2011, if not healed it has to be an operation, so I bought the Air Walker and used it for about two weeks. The best thing about it was you can take it off and give your foot some freedom. I can now walk without any aid or pain so I am sure when I go back to hospital I wont need any more treatment. I would recommend anyone to buy this product.

“Pump has no interface pad for shin bone”

Reviewed by Emo P on 25 July 2011

Support to ankle excellent. Pump being rounded has highspot touch out on shin bone when inflated. Pump could benefit from shaped and supported padding between pump assembly and shin bone. This is only a secondary detraction from an excellent ankle support. This has greatly promoted my recovery even with pump discomfort experienced. Thank you Physioroom.

“Okay for short term”

Reviewed by Kelsey on 27 March 2011

I purchased this product to wear during long distance walking (after a fracture of the 5th metatarsal). Within the first day the rubber sole had begun to wear off. The air pump is in an awkward position and if the strap is too tight it can rub against the skin and be quite painful. This said, it does what it is supposed to and provides support and immobilization to the injured foot.

I would recommend this product for short term or occasional use. I imagine with everyday use the sole would be completely worn off within a week. I would say it is better to go with a different brand if the brace is for long term use.

“Fit for indoor use only”

Reviewed by Anonymous on 02 March 2011

I brought this boot to replace my aircast walker as it was worn out. I used the boot for 1 day to go to work and back and found that I had pretty much worn out the sole. Now I use the boot for indoor use and purchased the Donjoy Walker which is of better quality.

“Excellent Product”

Reviewed by Andy Wiltshire on 12 January 2011

This product has enabled me to recover at a far greater rate than if I had kept to wearing a plaster cast. The inflatable system is superb and provides support exactly where needed, the muscle wasting caused after a Bi-Maleolar (Tibia and Fibula) ankle fracture and subsequent surgery to insert screws and plates, has reversed dramatically since wearing this product, for only 2 weeks. Would not hesitate to recommend...
