After I started writing for BetterBraces.com, I started paying more attention when I saw people wearing braces and other joint supports. There was one thing I always noticed about medical walking braces.

People are almost always wearing Aircast walking boots.

That prompted me to look into why patients often wear Aircast brand medical walking boots. Here's what I found:

Aircast walking boots may aid the healing process - Lined with foam-filled aircells, these walking boots massage your ankle as you walk, reducing swelling and edema. The strength of the hard outer shell protects the foot and ankle from further injury. Plus, Aircast walking braces assist patients in getting back to everyday activities sooner, which may help decrease healing time.

Aircast walking boots are easy to use - Compared to many other walking braces, these boots are made from durable, yet lightweight materials to maximize ease of use. They also come with a rocker sole to help relieve pressure off the bottom of the foot.

Aircast walking boots are comfortable - These walking braces are low profile, so you can walk with a normal gait. The same aircells that aid in healing also help cushion and support the foot and ankle area for the best, most natural fit.

If you're suffering from a foot or ankle injury and need a walking boot, chances are, your doctor will want you in an Aircast walking brace. Speak with your physician to see if these are right for you and your situation, then check out our selection of Aircast walking boots!
