Is the SP Walking Brace right for me?
Ideal for those with forefoot or midfoot injury, acute pain, foot fracture or post-surgery. Try our Brace Advisor for personalized product recommendations to meet your needs!
The SP Walker provides semi-pneumatic support with Aircast semi rigid shell protection and is available in 5 sizes (pediatric, small, medium, large and x-large). Foam-filled aircells cushion the ankle for customized comfort and support. This support is effective in fracture healing, managing edema, and post-op protection.
Indications
- Metatarsal fracture
- Forefoot, midfoot, or hindfoot injury
- Acute or post-operative use
- Bunionectomy
- Soft tissue injury
Features
- A semi-rigid shell to provide the protection formerly expected only from a cast
- A rocker sole to reduce plantar pressures
- Pneumatic compression for improved blood flow and edema reduction
- Custom-inflated aircells for individual fit and support
- Low profile for a natural gait
Key Benefits:
- Fracture healing
- Managing edema
- Post-op protection
Warnings/Precautions
Do not over-inflate aircells. Improper aircell inflation may cause significant skin irritation in patients with diabetic neuropathy. Reduce aircell compression with any visual skin changes or reported discomfort. Do not use this device on patients incapable of communicating physical discomfort. Like all lower extremity immobilizers, such as casts or braces, patients without sensation (i.e. post-op anesthesia, neuropathies, etc.) should be monitored frequently for "hot spots," skin irritation or wound management. Use caution when walking on slippery or wet surfaces to avoid injury.

Prior to my injury I had been walking 3-4 times a week for an hour but stopped due to injury. Can I return to walking with the boot for the next 6 weeks? What is your recommendation?
- You can certainly walk in the boot but I am not sure walking for that long of a period in it will be very good for the healing process. I would suggest doing a non-weight bearing exercise during this time

- Answer urgently needed! My daughter (16) is wearing an Aircast SP (low model) for sesamoiditis and her doctor has recommended padding it beneath her heel and around her ankle and low calf area, because wearing the cast is causing her additional pain. She wears a 6 1/2 shoe and was given the size small--she is a ballet dancer and has very narrow heels, tiny ankles and small calves. Would the pediatric boot be better, and/or what materials do you recommend for padding beneath the heel? They recommended rolled-up washcloths on the sides of her leg.
If she tightens the boot around her ankle or adds more air, this causes numbness. - She is wearing the correct size boot. To pad the heel you can purchase a Dr. Scholls gel heel pad from your pharmacy. Try only pumping a slight amount of air into the boot for the sides, other wise you can use a sock to pad those areas

- What is the difference between the FP and the SP air cast?
I am very mobile at work, I'm looking for a cast that is curved at the bottom for easy walking, but also takes maximum pressure off the front of my foot. - The SP is short pneumatic and FP is Foam Pneumatic. The FP is a taller boot and is for ankle and lower leg injuries. The SP walker is shorter and for foot injuries. They both have a rocker bottom
- What is the difference between the FP and the SP air cast?
- at 8/21/2015 5:37 AM
- I've had a drop foot (lower leg paralysis, severed sciatic nerve, hit-and-run driver) for 40 years and the ankle joint is very unstable. Any lateral movement or pronation or supination is painful. I've run the gamut of AFO's and nothing really works. I'm very athletic, including competitive rowing, and wish to keep at it. Rowing requires driving off your feet. Would the SP be suitable? Also how do I submit my MD's scrip for Medicare? Can't get through on your '800' number.
- Arthur
You will not be able to do anything active in the SP Walker. This is for immobilization of the foot and ankle. I would suggest the Velocity Ankle Brace either moderate support of extra support. The brace has a hinge which should help prevent laterl movment while being in a shoe. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-velocity-ankle-brace

- I ruptured my achilles tendon and have had surgery. I'm in the second phase of a cast with my next phase being a walking boot. Could you recommend a walking boot that I would need? I want to show my doctor and see if they will allow me to use. I'm a size 9 shoe and wonder what size I would need. My leg has atrophied some since my surgery. Thank you.
- Garry
The MaxTrax Air Walking Boot wold work gret for you and it comes either with or without a hinge. The hinge is used to restrict ankle movement if you doctor wants to do that once you come out of cast. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-maxtrax-rom-air-walker

- I sprained and tore ligaments in my big toe. I cant put weight on it and its been about 2 weeks since the injury. Ive been walking on the side of my foot. My question is, would it help me if i got this?
- Kate
Yes the AirCast SP Walking Boot will help you to get around with less pain because it immobilizes the foot so it doesn not bend with walking and this will decrease pain
- at 11/17/2014 2:17 PM
- How is the traction on the soles of these walking casts? Good enough to be safe when walking on snow/ice?
- Megan
The Aircast boots do have a sole that should be stable in most environments. I can tell you that the Aircast Air Select Short has a sole that is more designed similar to tennis shoe sole and may be more non-slip that the SP Walker. https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airselect-short-walking-boot

- Doctor told me I have a bruised bone on my outer ankle. He recommended the Aircast boot. When I apply the pressure with the air it hurts bad and I can't lift the boot. Am I doing something wrong? Should I put more air in until it doesn't hurt? Thanks in advance.
- Laura
If the pressure of the air bladder causes pain, do not inflate the side that hurts, or do not inflate as much air. The air is for comfort, swelling and overall fit of the boot but it doesn't have to be used
- at 6/24/2014 6:26 PM

If you sprained your ankle as well as your foot the Aircast FP Walker would be the best choice for you.https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-fp-walking-brace For ankle injuries the immobilization needs to extend beyond the lower calf.

- My son is a 11 and a size 5.5 shoe. What size do I get for his walking cast? Also, I need quickly. If I order on Monday can I receive by Weds? Finally, he needs one for each foot. Are there left and right foot air casts or are they one and the same?
- I would say the small. The length from heel to toe for the small is 10.4 " a youth 5.5 length is 9 1/8". Right now if you order expeditied shipping you may get it thursday

- I just started 2 days ago to wear the brace and I am so sore on either side of my calf. I have tried adjusting the air, wearing a higher sock but to no avail I am rubbed raw. Good thing is my foot feels better when I wear it. 5th metatarsal stress fracture. I stand 10 hours a day so maybe this "walking" cast is not for prolong hours. Please help.
- Cyndy
Thank you for contacting product support. If the boot is fitting correctly there should not be any excess movment in the top of the boot. Try inflating more air to remove movement of the heel and tightening the straps so the leg doesn't move against the side of the boot. If this doesn't work please contact product support at 888-405-3251
- at 10/2/2013 9:19 AM
- I have been diagnosed with an ankle stress fracture and prescribed the aircasst boot. Dr also recommended the use of Fragmin, to avoid deep vein thrombosis. I am 55 . Is this normal?

- Will the air cast help a broken foot?

I believe this question was asked and answered already. The Aircast Walkers are worn post injury and is designed to immobilize the foot during healing. I'm a little unclear what you mean by "help a broken foot".
If you have further questions, please feel to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

- Will this foot brace help for a broken foot
- Hello, Jace -
When someone suffers from a broken foot, this walker is indeed one that is recommended. I'm a little unclear what you mean about it "helping", but people do wear this brace post-injury to keep the foot immobilized during their healing phase.
If you have further questions, please feel free to contact our product specialists at 888-405-3251.
Thank you and have a wonderful day!

Looking for some safe options.

- My orthopedic Dr. put me in the Aircast SP walker for a broken ankle. Do I need to wear it in bed too? It's not comfortable for sleeping!
- Hey Ginny,
Unfortunately I can not answer that question for you. That has to be your doctor who makes that decision. I can tell you that most doctors do want their patients with broken ankles to wear the walker at all times. If your doctor does tell you that you have to wear it in bed, I recommend sleeping on your back and propping pillows on the side of the boot so that it is supported. I hopet his helps.
Thanks

- Does The Aircast SP Walking Brace work for the metatarsal fracture?my 2nd,3rd,4th metatarsal broke after surgery Dr said that i can't walk until 4 month.it was too tempting....
- The Aircast SP walking brace is for Metatarsal fractures. The brace is short, cause it is specifically for foot injuries. With the aircell design, it helps taking of some of the pressure and weight on the injured areas to allow them to heal, while still trying to be somewhat functional in your day to day activities.

Thank you for taking the time to email us here at www.betterbraces.com regarding our AirCast SP Walking Brace and doing weight training in it.

Plantar Fasciitis
I got this several months ago after developing plantar fasciitis. I love this walking brace and use it at work daily. I walk more then three miles at work as a security guard and am able to use this on stairs. I highly recommend this and I love that I had the option to get this instead of using crutches. My foot feels wonderful in it and I feel no foot pain. I just found this website and love the fact that they sell replacement parts as I'm about to buy right now. :) I also love that I do not find it heavy and that my foot does not move around in it due to the air pockets that you can inflate. I was worried my pant leg would not fit over it and they wouldn't allow me to wear it at work but my jeans and work slacks do fit over it perfectly with no problems. Only down fall will be when it rains and when winter comes, summer time its perfect and my foot does not sweat in it for as much walking as I do. I have larger calves and have no problem with it fitting. I found out the tighter it is the better your foot feels and doesn't move. Also your foot is protected by the top part of the boot which is hard because you will hit things with it. After awhile you won't even realize that you have it on.
Hope you find it as wonderful as I do.No arch support!
Just received this but immediately realize there is no support for my arch so will have to adapt with purchased arch support and see how it feels then.Excellent Rigid Support
Much better than the long soft one made by DJO. I could not walk in it because it cut off my knee. This one provides more support with rigid support on all 4 sides & allows more natural walking with rocking & it being only 1/2 way up my leg. Wish the doctor had recommended this one instead of other which cost 4 times more. So sorry I did not find you sooner.These are great
I recently broke bones in both of feet, and the Ortho DR sent me home with two of these walker braces.. Couldn't be happier, put these on and I am walking everywhere. Love that you inflate them to the comfort level that you need. Feel a little heavy, but my feet do not move around in them, and are great that you can take them off to get a shower and not have to sleep in a hard cast. Everyone says they look like ski boots, oh I wish, but I think that I will heal much faster wearing these instead of a hard cast.Great Product!
Having suffered from Plantar Fasciitis for years, I needed a new air cast. My foot takes forever to heal because I work on my feet. I wear the air cast during the day and my splint every night, and I am slowly improving. Wearing the air cast takes away that awful PF pain that I have with regular shoes. Thanks for a great product!Pros: Affordable, comfortable.Cons: Can't think of any!Share Your Usage: Recovering from Injury, Daily Use
Wow! Wish I had known about your site!
I injured my left foot a short while ago. The doctor called it a sprain, but said a chunk of bone was pulled off when the ligament pulled away from my midfoot. I thought this was an avulsion fracture, but hey, I never saw the xray. Anyway, I wish I had known about this site sooner! The charge for the brace from the doctor's office was almost $400, and with my insurance, I ended up paying about$100 out of pocket for the brace alone. The only difference between the one from there and the one on your site is that the doctor's office had their name put on the strap over the foot. I would have rather not have paid to have the "privilege" of advertising for them.
The brace has been great. I started with 2 crutches for the first couple of days, and went to just one., which has merely been used for when I'm tired for the last few days. It can be a little awkward, but it is so much better than a stinky cast that won't let you scratch an itch. I wear Merrell Jungle Mocs most of the time, so the heights are about the same so I'm not walking like a penguin. I expect to be allowed to graduate to no more boot within the week, but I am quite happy with how easy it has been to get around.
I will keep your site in mind in case I ever need another brace for anything else!did not meet expectations
I thought that this aircast would be easier to move in, it is bulky and heavier than the fibre glass one I had. I kinda wish I would have left the fibre glass one on just because it was easier to move in.
I wish I had better reviews.Awesome
After slipping on the ice at work, I sustained some pretty sore tendons and ligaments in my foot. I was offered this boot and a post-op shoe. Previous experience with heel surgeries told me to go with the AirCast. Great decision! Now I can go back to work with minimal pain!
Aircast
Hi, I was watching the video and readings my comments which made me decide to buy an aircast. I've had heel/foot/ankle issues for over a year when I sprained it in march of 2012. Thank you!!!Freedom
I couldn't wait until I received a walking cast. This gave me a sense of freedom and safety. I liked the inflation on each side to customize the fit as the swelling ceased. It wasn't incredible heavy either and didn't take long to get the hang of walking in it.You may also like
