Aircast XP Walking Brace reviews

I sprained my ankle and wore one of these for 2 weeks. It sped up my healing time and was extremely comfortable to wear. The compression made the swelling go down a lot faster. - Camwalker Fanatic

very comfortable and supportive......size runs small though.....size chart said I'd need a medium (women's 8-11) - my shoe size usually runs 9 1/2 -10 , my toes are right at the edge of the brace, so be aware of the size you pick....otherwise...no complaints!!! - Chris

hurt a lot

I broke my foot in 2 places when... i was put in on of the casts... it was comfortable but tiring after 3 months. I like it and it was a great deal as well. - hurt a lot

Paul

I have been wearing this brace for almost two years off and on for an Achilles injury and have found it to be very comfortable and easy to use. I have done everything one can think of during this time and it hardly ever gets in the way once you get used to it. Watch out on wet floors, water and the treads just don't mix well. - Paul

Alan

Got my brace Monday so far I like it a lot better then the one the doctor gave me to use. It's custom fit makes walking around on a broken foot a lot easier. The socks that it comes with stretch easy and slip over the toes without much pressure at all. The only part I don't like about it is how the front valve is setup. Mine came half under the front plate. Still usable but harder to get to then the ones on the side or the back. If they would make the front like those It would get 5 stars from me. - Alan

kat

it is very easy and i feel so comfortable using it!, the size chart is a little off, i am a size 7 woman and i am using a medium. it fits perfectly! - kat

stevebudz

I sprained my left ankle and the aircast walking brace makes walking alot easier.It's very comfortable and the ball inflater is easy to use - stevebudz

I fractured my ankle and am in one of these. I have to use crutches and this is very light and easy to use. My only complaint is that my heel moves around a bit in the heel, no matter what I do to try and adjust it. But otherwise, it's great :) - :)

Mickster

I like this aircast for the most part. I have used other boots that had much less support. This aircast is very comfortable overall. I am having a bit of problems with the front panel. It may be my calf and leg is too big. The top strap keeps sliding down. Overall great product! - Mickster

I fractured my ankle about 2 weeks ago and the hospital gave me another brace to wear while waiting for some MRIs to be done. It was heavy and put stress on my foot right at the fracture point. I couldnt get any sleep at night because it would shift and cause a lot of pain. So I started looking online and found Betterbraces. After reading the reviews and calling customer service I settled on the Aircast XP. They made a special effort to get it out the same day (Friday) for me so I had it first thing Monday morning! And I mean FIRST thing. UPS was at my door at 8am with it. The brace itself is amazing! I am tall (6'3") and it comes far enough up my calf to take the stress off the fracture in my ankle. It has 4 independently adjustable air cells so I can inflate each to snug it up just enough not to flop around but still feel supportive. My girlfriend broke her foot last year at the same time and she is so jealous of this boot compared to the thing she wore too. Highly recommend this brace and the people at Betterbraces! - RonB

I fractured my ankle about 2 weeks ago. I have been using a walking brace the hospital gave me while I am having some MRIs done. That brace was clunky, not very supportive, and only came part way up my calf leaving most of its weight hanging on my ankle causing a lot of pain. Finally fed up, I started looking online fore alternatives. After reading the reviews and speaking with customer service at Betterbraces.com I settled on the Aircast XP brace. I ordered it on a Friday for over night delivery. The crew at BB made sure it went out that same day and UPS was at my door at 8am Monday morning with it as promised. I am a fairly tall guy at 6'3" and the Aircast XP comes about 3/4 the way up my calf providing way more support than my old brace. The 4 independently adjustable air cells (1 on front of calf, 1 on back of calf, and 1 on each side of lower leg/ankle) inflate to provide a snug secure feel. Where my last brace felt sloppy this one is very comfortable! The doc said I needed to keep my foot at a 90 degree angle in the brace yet the old brace they gave me was always lose. The XP holds my ankle at a 90 very securely. I would highly recommend Aircast XP and the people at Betterbraces! Thanks! - RonB

LyndyB

I broke my lower leg and ankle in 3 places. After surgery to put things together again with a plate and several screws I spent a tortuous 6 weeks in a traditional cast. The hospital put me into the Aircast XP walker after the cast. And it was like a dream come true. Completely adjustable to the level of support I want on different days. I can also take it off for bathing and sleeping at night. It is a little heavier than I thought it would be but is well built solid. The socks are an extra long medium weight tube sock with terry cloth type lining that comes up to and over the knee and can then be folded over and back down a little at the top. After physical therapy, if one part of my ankle is sore, I can reduce the air on that side so there is a little less pressure and lighter contact on that side for a few hours. Highly recommended. - LyndyB

Molly

Never had any broken bones before so I don't know how to compare this to other casts. It is comfortable on my broken ankle though. My main wish is that the toe flaps were removeable because my foot gets so hot and is wet from sweating. Also my doctor never gave me any socks to go with this so I am just wearing thin cotton ones to absorb the moisture. - Molly

Boot was worn for 6 weeks to heal broken ankle. Comfortable except for ridge on gray foam liner on bottom of inside boot. My toes would cramp after walking but snipping off the ridge made it perfect. - Katrina

Questions on Aircast XP Walking Brace

From Terence B Burnett at 4/30/10 6:53 AM
- Can the inside of the Brace be taken out and washed & then put back in, & how can I buy more of the socks.
- Yes. You can take out the liner and hand wash only with a mild detergent, then let air dry. For extra socks follow the link below:

From Dave C at 6/6/10 3:15 PM
- Will water hurt these braces? I have two for my daughter and I'm wondering if she can go in the pool/ocean...separate from any issues regarding physically whether she is up to that.
- These are not recommended for use in water. The boots are heavy when wet and when submerged can cause the risk of drowning.

From Kelly at 7/5/10 7:06 AM
- Is there a weight limit to the boot? My son is 6'2", shoe size 12, weight 230...should a size large be ok? Thanks!
- Max weight is 250, and a large is his correct size.

From Ginny Wilke at 7/11/10 1:12 PM
- I lost my directions for which area is to be inflated first.
  Could you send me the correct order on how to inflate the brace properly?
  Thanks
- The inner liner should be numbered as follows
  
  FRONT: 1
  RIGHT: 2
  LEFT: 2
  BACK: 3
  
  Inflate the front first then inflate the right, then left, then inflate the back last.

From Diane at 7/17/10 8:20 AM
- How much does this boot weigh?
- Hello Diane,
  
  The Aircast XP Walking Brace weighs in at 2.7 pounds.

From Tanya at 8/5/10 11:31 AM
- What is the maximum calf width allowed for a small boot?
- Hello Tanya!
  
  The maximum calf width allowed for a Aircast XP Walking Brace size small boot is 12 inches.

From Megan at 8/18/10 10:37 AM
- How tall is the small size? I have a fairly short calf and want to be sure this model won't hit my knee.
  
  Thanks!
- From the base of the heel to the top of the brace it is 14 1/4in tall.

From Sheila Bueno at 12/4/10 5:07 PM
- Will this cast fit a women's size 5 foot?
- Hello,
  
  The pediatric size will accommodate a womens shoe size of 5 and below. The small size will accommodate the womens shoe size of 5-8.

From Becky at 3/22/11 12:45 PM
- If the boot is too tight, will it bruise the leg/ankle/foot ?
- It's possible if you were to inflate it too much, you could possibly bruise the leg/foot. Just put enough air in the boot so that the foot doesn't slide around, and it feels secure. You don't need any more than that.

From Gary at 3/30/11 4:57 PM
- How do I get it to deflate, the instructions were not given to me in the doctor's office . Its very hard to push it in.
- Hey Gary,
  To deflate the Aircast XP Walking Brace you will use the hand pump they gave you. First, find the end of the hand pump that says deflate, then insert it into the vavle. Keeping pressure into the valve, begin pumping. You are now pumping air from the aircell to the outside air. The hardest part is keeping the pump pressed into the vavle. this is very important because if you do not keep the pump pressed into the valve, the valve will close. I hope this helps.
  
  Thanks

From Gary at 3/30/11 4:57 PM
- How do I get it to deflate, the instructions were not given to me in the doctor's office . Its very hard to push it in.
- Duplicate Question, response has already been sent.

From Amy at 4/27/11 1:11 PM
- How do you deflate the brace? When I insert the hand bulb on the deflate side and pump, nothing happens.
- Hi Amy,
  The valve can be very rigid and you will have to apply a good amount of force into the valve while you pump to make it work. I hope this helps.
  
  Thanks,

From Susan White at 8/6/11 11:05 AM
- What is difference between the XP and FP boots besides price?
- The XP boot has a liner that is entirely pneumatic, as well as the aircells around the ankles. The FP just has the aircells around the ankles, the liner is foam. The XP also comes with a long sock, the FP does not.

From Linda at 10/4/11 10:57 PM
- Is there any latex in the boot or the long sock?
- No, there is not latex in either one of those products.

From Beverly at 11/16/11 9:34 AM
- One of the valves broke and I was wondering if it is possible to replace this valve (the spot where the air pump fits in to inflate the boot)
  If yes, how much is a replacement valve and is it hard to do??
  Thanks so much!
- Unfortunately these pieces cannot be replaced. If you have had your boot for less than 6 months customer care can do a quality replacement on it and get you a new one out. Please contact customer care for replacement boot.

From Jessie at 11/30/11 1:12 PM
- I have my aircast XP from breaking my right foot 4 years ago, now I've broken my left. I put my aircast on and it just doesn't look right or track normal...can you wear the aircast XP on either foot or does it specify right/left?
- The XP can be worn on either foot, depending on how long you wore the original XP the foot tread maybe worn to the Right foot walking pattern, if this is the case, unfortunately you will have to purchase a different walker, due to the tread cannot be replaced.

From Ryan at 3/21/12 10:32 AM
- I Fractured my left fibula 4 days ago, they have given me the aircast boot. I have been getting pins and needles in my toes and my toes are feeling really Hot, when I am sleeping at nights. can i Take the boot off when i sleep at night?
- The boot may be too tight and that's why you need to loosen the straps or deflate the air cells a bit. As far as if you can take it off at night, that is up to your physician.

From jane at 3/21/12 12:00 PM
- Why is this boot so wide across the toes?
  I don't think I'm clumbsier than normal but because of the design I hit the edge on furniture etc jarring my already sore ankle
  I think it would be better rounded at edges
- It is made wide to accommodate swelling and dressings after surgery.

From connie at 5/11/12 3:06 PM

From Sheila h at 7/22/12 3:53 PM
- How do I inflate the boot?
- Sheila,
  Thank you for contacting DJO Global. Your boot should have come with a bulb like pump. One end says inflate, the other says deflate. You want to put the inflate end into the air stem and pump until the boot feel secure but comfortable.

From Dawgmark at 8/2/12 8:30 PM
- How tall is the medium cast. I have short legs and want to make sure the top of the cast will not bind on the back of my knee. Also is the measurement from the inside of the cast or bottom of the sole up?
  Thanks,
  Mark
- 11 inches from inside the boot sole to the top of the foam above the plastic top.

From gary g at 11/14/12 5:40 AM
- I have a size 12 shoe. They gave me a size large for planter faciitis. They said I should/could wear my orthodic with the brace. But when I do so the end of my toes hang over the boot, That is a bit uncomfortable. Do I need a karger size or not wear the orthodic?
  
  Thanks
- Hello, Gary -
  
  You are fitted in the correct size walking brace. The size range should also allow for a little bit of space (Large ranges up to a standard size 13). We suggest that you speak with the person who recommended use of your orthotic with the boot in regards to fit of the orthotic in the boot.
  
  Thanks and have a great day!

From Yvette at 5/22/13 5:39 AM
- My doctor has told me to wear the boot day and night. Do I need to deflate it when i'm in bed?
- Yvette,
  The are is to help secure the foot into the boot, if it is too tight you can loosen it some when you are non weight bearing.
