Ossur Formfit High Top Walker Boot

One of the best ways to accelerate the healing process is by wearing a high top walker boot for immobilisation of the ankle and lower part of the leg. The Ossur Formfit High Top Walker Boot helps to protect injuries from further damage while promoting repair in the proper position, as quickly as possible. Featuring a lightweight, breathable interior and shock-absorbing insole, this boot assists healing of grade two and three ankle sprains, soft tissue injuries and stable fractures for pain-free recovery.

Low Top vs High Top Walker Boots: Which Should I Choose?

The choice between a low-top walker boot and a high-top walker boot depends on your specific needs and the nature of your injury or condition. Here are some factors to consider when deciding between the two:

High-Top Walker Boot:

• Ankle support: High-top walker boots provide more support and immobilisation for the ankle and lower leg.
• Immobilisation: They are designed to restrict movement in the ankle joint, which is essential for the healing process of certain injuries. This can help prevent further damage and promote proper healing.
• Protection: High-top boots offer better protection for the lower leg, reducing the risk of reinjury or exacerbating existing injuries.
• Reduced swelling: The compression and immobilisation provided by high-top walker boots can help reduce swelling and inflammation in the affected area.

Low-Top Walker Boot:

• Improved mobility: Low-top walker boots typically allow for greater freedom of movement in the ankle and lower leg. This can be beneficial for minor injuries or during the later stages of recovery when you need to gradually increase your range of motion.
• Comfort: They are often more comfortable for everyday use, as they do not restrict your movements as much as high-top boots. This can make it easier to perform daily activities.
• Easier to put on: Low-top boots are generally easier to put on and take off compared to high-top boots, which can be beneficial if you need to frequently remove the boot for various reasons.
