Aircast FP Walking Brace reviews

BethAnn
I wore this after I fractured my foot and it was a total life saver. Really surprisingly comfortable. A lot better than being stuck in cast. I now wear and Aircast Ankle brace that I really like too. Nice products! - BethAnn
First of all, let me say that I am a *very* picky girl. I severely sprained my ankle a couple of summers ago. I couldn't even walk, but an x-ray revealed there was no break. My doctor advised that immobilization was necessary, so I went to the local pharmacy and picked up the brand of "walking boot" they had in stock. MAN, was that thing HEAVY. The weight of the boot on my foot/leg while walking was horribly uncomfortable for my weak ankle. In addition, the walking boot didn't immobilize me even as well as my ankle brace did when wearing a shoe. As soon as I tried it on, I knew that it was NOT what I wanted to be wearing for weeks on end! I started looking online -- researching and comparing all the available models of walking casts. I ended up getting the Aircast FP Walking Brace. I first tried the Aircast SP Walking Brace (the shorter model) but found that the taller version immobilized my ankle much better. The inflatable inserts feel like heaven to someone with an ankle injury -- compressing the injured area to reduce swelling and slightly massaging your ankle while you walk. You are able to inflate/deflate each side independently for a customized fit. Some other walking boots I tried had only foam across the top. They were basically a foam boot, attached with straps to a hard rubber-type lower/vertical shell. When I walked in one of those types of boots, it felt like my foot/leg was pulling up out of the boot, and while my foot was in the air during a step, the weight of the boot hung off my injured limb by the velcro straps. Ugh, so painful! Not so with this boot! The semi-rigid outer shell is held comfortably in place by the adjustable straps, providing a firm, stabilizing hold. Unlike other boots I tried, it never feels like this boot is hanging like a weight. I don't know if this boot is actually lighter than other brands of walking boots or if the construction just provides better pressure and weight distribution, but it certainly feels much lighter and more comfortable while walking. This walking boot was exactly what I had been looking for. Yay! No more crutches + ankle brace! Because I am also a very clean girl, I appreciate the fact that the liner and insole can be completely removed and washed. You can also purchase replacement liner and insole sets separately, and the shell is nearly indestructible. I went out playing in the woods and on the beach in this boot, and can attest to how wonderfully it cleans up! I don't often write product reviews, and for anyone without lower limb pain, I can see that this review might seem a bit too enthusiastic. But if you're facing having to wear one of these things for weeks or months yourself, you might better be able to appreciate how these features can make your recovery more bearable. Happy healing, everyone! :) - Jenna

Because I'm self employed and can't afford the post op recovery time off, have decided to just wear this Aircast boot. Fit is great and a pleasure to wear. - Steven
Casey
After a severe ankle sprain I was given a splint at the hospital and purchased some crutches. The splint offered very little support and the crutches made it impossible to do anything. Fortunately the orthopedic doctor I saw for follow up the following week put me in this aircast boot. What a difference! I could move around when I had to without pain because of the support it gives. The interior airbags allow you to adjust the support level as the swelling of the foot changes, or as needed for comfort. A bit more for walking and a bit less for when relaxing with your foot up. Unless you have someone who can wait on you hand and foot (no pun intended!) get one of these....I HIGHLY recommend the Aircast boot! - Casey

    • What is the difference between the XP Walker and the FP Walking boot?
    • The XP Walker has 2 more additional aircells than the FP Walker, for a total contact fit.. The FP Walker has just the 2 distal aircells. The XP Walker also comes with 2 socks to be worn with the boot.
  • From adam at 7/15/10 1:31 PM
    • I just sprained my ankle (3rd degree) and was told I need to wear this boot for 3 weeks. Do you have to wear the boot at all times or can you take it off if you will be at your PC in sitting down position for several hours?
    • Hello Adam,

      The intention of a Aircast FP Walking Brace is to completely immobilize the lower leg/ankle/foot area. You'll want to consult your physician in regards to when you can remove the brace.
  • From Josh at 8/14/10 8:41 AM
  • From Mitchell at 9/28/10 8:41 AM
    • Should I wear a long sock with this product?
    • It is recommended to wear a sock with the Aircast Walking Braces. We have the Aircast Sock Liners available for purchase. They are a very lightweight cotton/lycra material and are seamless to prevent irritation. Follow the link below for information:

    • My husband coaches youth football and is wearing his foam walker out to practices. The fields are very muddy this time of year - I am looking for washing or cleaning instructions for the foam insert.
    • Hello Karen,

      Hand wash the liner in mild detergent and let air dry.

  • From Kelli at 3/7/11 5:23 PM
    • I have the FP walker and one of the inflatable cells has come loose and won't stay in place... any ideas?
    • Kelli, typically the AirCast FP Walker Aircell can stay in place with use of double sided tape. If you apply that tape between the aircell and the shell of the walker, that should keep it in place. Should you have any additional questions please do not hesitate to contact us at www.betterbraces.com again.
  • From Sam at 5/31/11 4:56 PM
    • Is this kind of brace good for plantar fasciitis
    • The Aircast FP Walker is indicated for moderate to severe ankle sprains and fractures. Typically, for plantar fasciitis we reccommend the Aircast Air Heel by day and the Doral Night Splint by night. Should you have any additional questions please let us know.
  • From Kim D at 7/16/11 11:31 AM
    • How should I wash and dry the liner to eliminate smell and germs of fungal bacteria?
    • You may hand wash, and air dry the liner.
  • From Brian at 8/10/11 2:36 PM
    • How much do I inflate this, i.e., how tight should it be?
    • When inflating, you want the boot to feel snug, but not so tight it is cutting off circulation. Start with 2-3 pumps in each cell, and then add one pump to each till it feels snug.
  • From Courtney at 8/15/11 1:31 PM
