Product Details

Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot

Walking with a foot injury can be painful and in some cases it can even cause further damage and injury. The Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot is one of the most advanced pneumatic walking boots available that offers a painless way of helping you get back on your feet when you're ready.

What's Included with the Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot?

This purchase includes one Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot, which consists of the following components:

  • Polypropylene shell
  • Polypropylene front panel
  • Nylon straps
  • Thermoplastic polyurethane inflation pumps
  • Nylon liner
  • Polyester binding
  • Rubber outer sole and insole

Who Can Use This Aircast Boot?

The Aircast Boot offers a solution to a number of indications related to the forefoot, mid-foot and hind-foot injuries, as well as some ankle injuries. The AirSelect Short Walker Boot is especially suitable for the following conditions:

  • Bunionectomy (recovery after surgical bunion removal)
  • Metatarsal fracture (break or crack to one of the metatarsal bones)
  • Severe ankle sprain
  • Soft tissue injury
  • Stress and stable fracture of the foot

How Do I Find the Right Size?

The AirSelect Short Boot can be worn on either foot, and is available in five sizes, allowing you to get a more tailored fit. To find out which size you require, please refer to the table below. The sizes of this support are determined by shoe size.

What If My Measurements Fall Between Sizes?

If your shoe size or foot measurement means that you fall between or on a sizing boundary, we recommend you select the larger size for maximum comfort.

What Makes the Aircast AirSelect Boot Superior to Similar Boots?

The Aircast AirSelect Boot uses SoftStrike technology, which is a patented grid design that puts a matrix of shock-absorbing material in direct contact with the heel. This helps absorb and dissipate shock, which reduces discomfort in the area while also reducing heel loading and preventing impact-related stress.

SoftStrike Technology Benefits for the Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot

Coupled with the use of a lightweight, low-profile rocker sole, the SoftStrike technology used in this walker boot encourages the use of a natural gait. This can significantly improve your ability to continue performing everyday activities without fear of discomfort or re-injury.

How Does the AirSelect Short Walker Boot Differ from the AirSelect Standard Walker Boot?

Both versions of the Aircast AirSelect Walker Boot are highly comfortable and effective, with features such as Integrated Inflation Technology, Duplex Technology, Ultralight Technology and SoftStrike Technology, which absorbs and dissipates shock. They only differ in the height of the brace, which makes them suitable for different conditions. While the Short Walker Boot is more suitable for foot and ankle injuries, the Standard Walker Boot can also be used for lower leg injuries.

How Customisable Is the Aircast Walking Boot?

The Aircast Walking Boot offers a custom and comfortable fit. The easy-to-trim and heat mouldable semi-rigid shell makes it easy to custom-fit the brace, while the sleek, open-frame design provides ventilation and maximum patient protection and compliance. Moreover, the integrated inflation system puts you in control for an individualised fit.

Can the Aircast Walking Boot Help to Reduce Swelling?

Designed with an integrated inflation system, the Aircast AirSelect Walker Boot allows you to inflate each aircell individually. This helps you tailor the support according to your needs while also maximising your comfort level and reducing oedema.

How Comfortable Is the Aircast AirSelect Walking Boot?

The Aircast AirSelect Walker Boot has been designed with a semi-rigid shell. Although these can be fairly heavy, this particularly support has been crafted with structurally-engineered vents that maximise airflow and minimise mass without compromising support. This helps ensure you remain comfortable even when you use the walker boot for long periods of time.

How Can I Even Up My Gait When Wearing the Walker?

Since the walker will often make your injured leg feel slightly longer than your other leg when walking, and aid may be needed to even your gait to avoid postural problems. We recommend the Evenup Shoe Balancer, which can be purchased alongside this walker boot at a reduced price as the Aircast AirSelect Short Walker Boot and Evenup Shoe Balancer pack.

How Do I Fit the Aircast Walker?

Fitting the AirSelect Short Walker Boot is easy, and can be done without any prior training or experience. See the video below for a short guide.

Good boot despite issues + great service

I bought this boot to help heal a broken toe that wasn't fusing and it has made a big difference. The boot is supportive, comfortable to walk in and easy to put on and take off. I had an issue with the deflation mechanism on one side of my boot but the Customer Services team were able to help me out. Prompt delivery and responsive team. Recommend buying the Evenup Shoe Balancer with this so that you don't walk unevenly.

I bought the boot to help deal with a stress fracture in a metatarsal. It's easy and practical to use, very comfortable, and gives good protection: it seems to hold my foot well while it heals. Very prompt delivery too

Not as effective as I hoped for my heel spur and fracture. Not sufficient support for my heel and painful on my ankle bone when you pump up so have to deflate which defeats the object of buying it.
Not real benefits for me personally.

Would have given it 5 stars but personally found the synthetic liner too hot and would prefer cotton

Arrived the next day, just what I needed after an ankle injury, still going strong after 4 weeks of continuous wear inside and outside.

I purchased 2 Aircast boots in different sizes to try. Despite the extremely challenging circumstances you must be operating under, you responded swiftly to my queries and, once I had placed the order, the first boot arrived in just two days.

Although the smaller boot was unavailable in your warehouse, you very kindly sourced it from France and it too arrived in a matter of days. This level of service is exceptional and I am hugely grateful!
As it turns out the larger boot (size small) fits and is being put to full use.
Many thanks.

Of course, no one would choose to wear one of these boots because it means you are injured and out of action. However, having said that, it is pretty comfortable for most of the time and very easy to take on and off. It is robustly made and easy to use. If you need to have a cast, then this is definitely the best thing to go for. Delivery was fast and easy.
