  • I was recently fitted with a Medium size boot - walker, with a pump and there is a tag with the number 102309CE at the top. Can you please advise what is the weight of the boot.
    
    Can you also please advise when is the best time to use the pump feature - i.e. stage of healing.
    
    Thanks.

  • The weight of the DonJoy MaxTrax Walker is 2.8 lbs
    
    The pump is less of a "stage of healing" feature and more of a compression and stabilization feature. If your foot in the boot is all wrapped up and/or bandaged and your foot has wiggle room or spacing issues, at that time you would use the pump to inflate the liners and reduce the wiggle room in the brace.

  • I have a size medium in this boot and it is too tall for me. If I were to get a size small would the shaft of the boot be shorter? Because it's too tall it doesn't allow me to keep my foot all the way down in the bottom.
  • Hello Abby!
    
    Thank you for visiting us at BetterBraces.com!
    
    The DonJoy MaxTrax Walker will remain the same height , regardless of size.
    
    It sounds like you may want to look at the DonJoy MaxTrax Ankle Walker. Same walker design, but available as an Ankle Walker.

  • I have a prescription for a short walking boot (not an ankle boot). It is to stretch the tendon out. Would the DonJoy MaxTrax Walker be the one I need? Also, do you accept prescriptions?
  • what tendon are you looking to stretchout? The MaxTrax walker is a walking boot. There are only two lengths of walking boots, standard and ankle length. If you are needing to keep the ankle in a 90 degree ankle, then yes the maxtrax is an appropriate option for you. If you are needing to look to add range of motion in the ankle then you will need the MaxTrax ROM.

  • I was prescribed a medium but wear a 11-1/2 shoe, will this be ok?
  • For an 11 1/2 sized shoe you need to be in a Large.
• From Lillian at 10/23/11 9:45 AM
  • Do these boots come in left and right? The boot I am wearing seems like it's designed for a right foot, I'm wearing a left boot. Thank You.
  • Hi Lillian,
    
    The MaxTrax Walker is made to be worn on either foot.
• From Cathy at 5/2/12 7:06 AM
  • Inhave this boot, and it works well! It is a size medium and fits fine. I was issued another brand by different Dr. For other foot in size medium, and it is horrible!! Way tight and way small, uncomfortable. I wear a size 10 in shoe. If I order this shoe you have, should I get a medium or a large?
  • Medium

  • Can the liner for the boot be washed?
  • Handwash with mild detergent and air dry.
• From Joysea at 5/23/12 5:24 PM
  • When at rest and elevated for a long period, can the boot be loosened up?
  • That is up to your physician who is prescribing the product for you.
• From Dave at 2/17/13 7:05 PM
  • I am a male, US shoe size 10.5. What size boot do I need? My large works great, but I have an inch and a half or more from my toe to the boot end. Is that what you'd recommend or should I be in a medium? I'm not too picky, but am curious if standards are developed for the M/L boots.
    
    Thank you, Dave
  • Hello, Dave -
    
    Because you are on the cusp of the Medium and Large, normally we recommend to go with the larger size. This will allow space to accomodate for people with wider feet. If you have an inch and a half of extra space at the tip of the boot, you may want to go with a medium instead.

  • I have a foot fracture and have been given a small xcel trax walking brace, it seems a little big, I am a size 4 (37) uk will it cause problems if too big
  • Hello, Helen -
    
    You should be wearing an XS (up to a size 4). If the walker is too large, you risk injury such as tripping or stumbling because the boot is too large on your foot.

• From Ken at 4/7/13 3:00 PM
  • I was fitted with a DonJoy MaxTrax Walking Boot at the Veterans Hospital on Friday, for a broken bone ion the outside of my left foot. However, I was not given the instructions for putting it on. So, after removing it for me to to shower, my wife and I do not know how to put it back on correctly, and I cannot find any instructions online to help us. Is there a site where I can get these instructions, or can someone scan their copy and email it to me?
