  • I wear a 10.5 US size shoe. Would I wear the medium or large.
    Is this shoe designed for plantar fascittis with pain in the arch...I am not having heel pain.
    Thank you
    John
  • For a 10.5 Shoe size you'll want to size Large for the DonJoy Maxtrax Air Walker (http://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-maxtrax-air-walker).
    
    However this boot is not designed to address Plantar Fasciitis. It is designed as an alternative to casting and mainly to immobilize the leg and ankle.
    
    We have a great selection of Braces for Plantar Fasciitis.
    
    The Aircast Airlift PTTD Brace ( http://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airlift-pttd-brace )
    
    Foot support and ankle stabilization are provided by the AirLift integrated aircell and semi-rigid shells. The aircell, located under the foot arch, is adjustable using the Hand Bulb (included with the brace). When inflated, the aircell can accommodate variances in arch shapes and heights and comfortably lifts the foot arch to achieve a more natural foot position. For ease-of-use, aircell inflation can be adjusted while wearing foot wear. The semi-rigid shells are anatomically designed to the shape of the ankle for secure support and stabilization. These shells help realign the ankle and support the patient.
    
    We also have the ProCare Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint ( http://www.betterbraces.com/procare-plantar-fasciitis-night-splint ) for nightly wear.

  • How much does the Medium walking boot weighs? I was told it was fairly heavy -- can you give me the actual weight of the boot? Thanks!
  • 2.8 lbs

  • can I just buy a replacement outer shell. My wife is wearing one and the rubber on the heel wore off and she took a nasty fall on our tile floor.
  • Sir, Unfortunately the outer shell of this brace is not sold separately or the rubber on the heel. However there is a 6 month warranty on this brace through DonJoy and if your brace is within the 6 months, there can be a quality replacement done.

  • Can I wear a regular sock under the boot? The surgery site is now clean, and I can shower without bagging, so I'm thinking I can simply wear a regular sock.
    
    Thank you.
  • Yes as long as your doctor has cleared you to remove your dressings and shower, you are able to wear a clean cotton elastic athletic sock under your boot liner.

  • How do you wash the liner of the MaxTrax boot?
  • You can hand wash and air dry the liner.
• From Michael at 7/10/12 8:57 AM
  • Is there a weight limit or a suggested weight limit for the person wearing the boot?
  • 
    300 pounds.

  • Would this splint help immobilize and decrease weight bearing for a stable mid tibia fracture?
  • This would help immobilize the Tibia. The only thing that would help with weight bearing would be crutches.

  • The boot aggravates my ankle, and presses on my calf near the injury. It feels uncomfortable when wearing it. I have a shoe size 10, and got a medium boot. My calf circumference is 19". Should I get a large boot instead? Or a different kind?
  • Hello, Helen -
    
    Your dimensions fall within the correct parameters of the Medium boot. Have you adjusted the pneumatic pressure of the air cells built into the brace? That may ease on the pressure on your calf. I am a little unclear on what you mean about the boot aggravating your ankle.
    
    We recommend that you contact product support at 888-405-3251 to speak live with a product specialist with more detail on the issues you are having with the walker.
    
    Thanks, have a great day!
