Ossur Rebound Air Walker Boot | Comfortable Walking Boot with Compression Straps & Air Pump Rocker Bottom | Walking Boot for Broken Foot, Walking Boot for Sprained Ankle (Low Top, Medium)

All true — it’s right there in the title: “comfortable walking boot with compression straps & air pump rocker bottom.” It was easily the most comfortable walking boot I tried during the fitting. An all-around quality and premium item!

I'm having to spend at least two months in a boot, and am extremely grateful to have found a more comfortable, supportive system. I had two serious ankle surgeries in two years dealing with a badly torn ligament. All this stems from a thirty year-old injury incurred while running long distance in the mountains. I was hurtling down a mountainside one summer when a university physician came jogging up the path pretentiously waving his cross-country ski poles on dry ground. He suddenly jerked his pole to the side and tripped me up, thus causing an extremely serious tear in the ankle; it was never the same. Now, two surgeries out, with the ankle finally beginning to do better, a bicyclist come at me on a walking path; dodging this re-injured the vulnerable ankle with a new tear. It had less "give" anyway. Now, I'm hoping to avoid surgery! I wore Ossur's older model after the first two surgeries: Ossur Air Equalizer Hi Top Walking Boot , which was quite good. Other reviewers said that the tall boot was more supportive than the tempting shorter one. So I thought I'd give this new, updated version a try. It's really good, but for the design flaw with a strap that goes right across the instep. It presses down on the instep and top of the foot the more you inflate the boot. And the range of adjustment for the instep area is limited, given where you have to fit it at the top where the pump is. The half-boot doesn't have this problem, and seems to be an improved, more recent design; even the padding is better. But this tall boot is still much easier to get on/off than the old tall version, lighter, and easier to ambulate in. It doesn't cause the Frankenstein effect of the good old boot, since it's not as heavy or thick-soled. My podiatrist doesn't even use this high-tech model yet. PS: If you've just twisted your ankle, your doc may suggest a boot. I'm not a doctor, but my advice, after serious sprains and 2 surgeries by a highly regarded specialist who just wants to operate a 3rd time (after being clueless when I came in with a sprain on the damaged ankle; he seems to have forgotten how to properly treat injuries to heal them & prevent surgery) is: try at least 2-3 weeks on crutches, with your ankle in a boot or ace-bandages. Then slow rehab. When I think back, it was old-fashioned treatment that worked best: ice, elevation, wrapping, and crutches did the trick. Nowadays, docs just want to cut. Beware!

I purchased this product after my doctor advised I needed to rest my Achilles or would be facing surgery. Orthopedic office tried to fit me in a boot that cost over $300 and I knew I could find one for less. This one fit the bill and cost a fraction of what I would have paid. It was easy to use and fit well. I am a female who wears a size 11M so I got a Medium and it was just right. I felt the inside air pump worked well at stabilizing my ankle in the boot when it was inflated. There was a protective strip of material over the velcro inside the boot that I felt was a bit too short. I noticed that I had scratches on the front of my leg from where the velcro had come in contact with my skin. After using the boot for a few weeks, I noticed the sole was squeaking a bit as I walked. I also noticed that I needed to wear a shoe with a small heel in order to make up for the height of the boot. Finally, after several days of wearing it, it had a foot odor and I had problems cleaning it with the air pump device installed. Sport shoe deodorant spray was useful in addressing this. All and all, it did what it needed to do which was to relieve the daily walking pressure from my foot/achilles and allow it to rest and heal.

I've had numerous foot issues over the years, and hated the boots I was forced to deal with. I researched walking boots and had chosen this one and kept it in my cart for several years. I am revising my original review because it took some time to figure it out. THIS IS THE BEST BOOT I HAVE EVER FOUND!!!!!!! The Small size was supposed to fit 5.5 - 8.5 size feet. I wear size 7 shoes and my toes were to the limit of the boot, so if your shoe size is 7.5+ you will want a MEDIUM. If you are not sure about sizing, CALL THE MANUFACTURER for advice. The protective "cover" will appear to be way too long - HOWEVER, it's learning how to position it that will make it work for you. PLEASE NOTE that many medical boots are not returnable, so do your homework!! It may take a little time to get the protective cover positioned correctly, but the large air inflator button location can be adjusted, so be patient to make it work for you. I was originally very frustrated with the boot, but it was "operator error" on my part. I've revised my original review. If you have foot and ankle injuries or issues, this will likely be the best boot to help you heal. IT"S A WINNER. It is comfortable, supportive, and will protect your injured foot.

‼️‼️⚠️⚠️⚠️☣️I ordered this on May 20 and received it May 21 around 8 AM and I literally just opened it about 20 minutes after it arrived. It was packaged with other things that I ordered, and when I took it out, I realized it was used covered in animal hair. it covered everything else that I had ordered in animal hair since it was all packaged in one box. I’m sensitive to skin irritation and animal hair and since I opened it, I can’t stop feeling itchy. It’s really unhygienic and very disappointed that it was package with all my other things and have to somehow sanitize it and somehow remove all this pet hair that’s in my house that is so fine and barely visible. For $79 you would assume to get a brand new item not a used one. Definitely unhygienic since I don’t know what the other previous persons foot may possess like athlete foot or other types of foot fungus. I will be returning it and getting my full refund. I’m more bothered by the animal hair that came in the package. What would have happened if someone else opened it with a very severe allergic reaction. If it’s a used product, you shouldn’t have to pay full price for a use product as if it was brand new. Don’t recommend it! Now I have to clean my house from who knows what micro insects or fleas.

Habe mir den Fuss gebrochen und den Rebound Schuh verschrieben bekommen. Wollte noch einen zweiten als sogenannten"Hausschuh" haben. Es ist nass und teilweise matschig draussen und es war mir zu unbequem, wenn man nach Hause kommt, erstmal mit einer umgewickelten Mülltüte um meinen Schuh zu laufen.Der Schuh hat eine genauso gute Qualität, wie der vom Arzt verschriebene.Ich muss ihn 12 Wochen tragen, da lohnt sich für mich der 2. Kauf. Ich habe Grösse M genommen bei Schuhgröße 39. Der Versand ging glücklicherweise sehr schnell.

La foto es diferente al producto recibido. En la publicación se ve una foto de una bota alta. Y es una bota corta

Excelente

Exceptionally comfortable and lightweight for a long wearing time. I have tried many others for my fractured foot, this is the best for my case. The only note I would say is that I trimmed the velcro strap on the front, it was about 3" too long.

A fantastic boot.I previously had a long boot but having this boot has been brilliant as I can't feel it on.I would highly recommend this boot and the suppliers with their excellent service.
