Review: Achilles Tendon Rupture GAME CHANGER - Rarely do I find it necessary to make reviews on pretty much anything. If I'm extremely happy with the product, I usually just move on and I'm happy with my purchase. But for an injury such a severe as this I figured I'd share my story about 40 days in now, I hope I can edit/update it when no more boot is needed. I fully ruptured my Achilles tendon June 4th, I did research on this boot pretty much two or three days into this injury after receiving the normal black air cast the hospital gives. I decided to make the purchase of this boot and received it about a week in. Now with this injury my foot was swollen the first few days pretty severe and obviously non-weightbearing. When I first received the boot I didn't really realize how much different it was, it almost Felt uncomfortable possibly because my foot was so swollen and when I vacuum sealed the liner it hit pressure points that just was not comfortable. After about 2 or 3 days I got used to that and my foot stopped swelling. So during the non-weight bearing phase it definitely felt more safe and secure which is extremely important to me with this injury, but outside of that (which is huge) because I was non-weight-bearing and unable to even put a little bit of weight on it didn't notice anything else. And if that's all it did was make my foot feel more protected worth the money for me. It does so much more than just feel more protective I believe the liner is incredible for it, I am in the partial weight bearing phase now, but before this I can only put 25 to 50% of weight on it and this boot is an absolute game changer without any doubt. From the giant rolling soul that you put on to the ankle adjustment movement which my protocol calls for starting in the locked position all the way up 30° and then the next two weeks dropping to 20°And then to 10° so on and so forth whatever your protocol calls for. This boot gives me so much confidence (do not overdo it I do not) and I believe just wearing it while my ankle can rotate whichever degrees you're set on is therapy in itself. I am extremely happy with this boot. I'll detail the short pros and cons, but the moral of this story I would 1,000% purchase this again or recommend anybody with this injury to buy this. I mean when I put the air cast boot on from the hospital it doesn't even feel like it does the same not even close, that being said there is a con to this vacoped. I still use the black aircast boot the hospital gave me to go in and out of the shower, and with my iwalk. Pros: feeling of security/comfort/safe in it. *It is more comfortable *Adjustment of the ankle degrees *Does not dirty my white duvet cover in my bed when I take the soul off *I believe it's therapeutic wearing it and just rolling your ankle in it in the beginning when you're allowed ankle movement partial weight *It is extremely well made (I am 6'3 225 lb *6'5 with boot and evenup 😆😅😂 I use things heavily lol) Cons: *Because of the nipple on the fabric liner that you squeeze air out of, it's located on the front of the shin. The only con that I can think of is that it does not pair well with my iwalk 3.0 (pegleg) because of that nipple being on the front of the shin. All that being said I'm glad I still have the black air cast for getting in and out of the shower (can totally do it with the vacoped but I like to use my iWalk for the showers). When I'm around the house doing cleaning or laundry or anything house related like this I wear the black aircast from the hospital paired with my iWalk 3.0. VacoPed is worth its weight in gold. Tomorrow is week 11 post injury non surgery. I have been rehabbing my foot myself currently I am out of the boot in the house and out of the house (very careful outside of the house). I bought a pair of Brooks running shoes because they have a very high heel toe drop.. Reiterating how effective the Vaco Ped is and has been I believe is important to share. And I keep it simple. It has been extremely effective and I just wore it yesterday or the day before when I had to leave the house for several hours. Didn't wear the entire time but it's my go-to boot when I need to. It's an absolute game changer for this injury and if you're on the fence about it Just buy it I believe there's some kind of return policy if you don't like it, if it's uncomfortable for the first couple of days trust me just stick with it loosen the straps if you need to a little bit it will pass that pain / uncomfortableness will pass. I hope my experience helps another in need. I still feel the same about the boot it's worth it's weight gold!
Review: Rehab Ease - I didn’t start at the traditional flexed position of 30 degrees as per my situation. But I will say the time that I have had it, I’ve seen tremendous strides toward rehabbing my Achilles. The fact that you’re able to simulate the movement inside the boot of walking helps wake your muscles back up, opposed to a std wedge where u just feel like like your walking on your toes. I started at a 10 degree angle after quite some time in a hard cast, and adjust the back portion for positive angle so I don’t go past the 10 degree mark. I will say, if you’re buying this because you think it’ll be more comfortable than ur regular trauma boot. I would say you’re 25% right. I don’t think there will ever be a “comfortable” trauma boot. But it’s slightly better than the traditional Air Cast style. I think advertising the sizes could be a tad better in regards to calf size. I got a medium, based on recommendation but my calf is def smaller than the boot wool allows and wouldn’t Velcro shut. Ended up stitching some extra Velcro myself and problem solved, but I think the small would’ve been ideal if I had known. Overall I think it’s a very innovative product that WILL help in your Achilles recovery. A tad pricey, but have you ever seen the price of a trauma knee brace🤢. comparatively if you have the money, or insurance to purchase this, do it. Update: 11-19-23 shoutout to the company for updating the calf sizes on their page. I read another review saying he couldn’t use a knee scooter, but I def had no problem using a knee scooter with mine. In fact I’ve let 2 other people use my boot and have had no issues after extended amount of hours of me using a knee scooter about a year and a half ago. Thanks for making a well built product!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can i buy separately a rocker sole for my vacoped small?  i want to use one for indoor and the other for outdoor. how much does it cost?**
A: Yes you can buy a separate sole for your VACOped.  We do not sell them on Amazon you have to contact us directly at 978-447-1965.  The cost is $24.00 plus shipping.  Let me know if you need anything else!

**Q: When will it be available again? Need one asap**
A: Yes

**Q: I wear a mens size 10 -i need a medium size boot.  is this available?  i do not how to order one that does not state size (noted in answers)**
A: Hello,
We are expecting our shipment of medium VacoPeds to arrive this week, and once they do you will be able to choose that size when you order. Please check back with us in a few days and once we can restock the mediums you'll be able to specify that size. Thank you so much and have a wonderful day! OPED Medical

**Q: What calf measurements will a large support?**
A: The sizes are not for the calf, it's for the shoe size. I tried to order a medium and they were sold out so I got the large (I figured it was only a half inch larger, so how big could it be?) It was super tall and WAY too big for my short frame (5'3") I sent it back and waited for the medium and it was perfect. I have muscular calves from cycling and the medium fit me fine. I wear a ladies size 8.5 shoe.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Liner too big.
*by R***A on February 5, 2026*

I don’t write reviews often. I have been in this boot for a week. I ordered a medium, I am a women’s size 11. The boot is comfortable. I feel secure in it. I take a star away because the liner is too big. When I put it around my foot/leg the Velcro doesn’t match up. The toe piece is also too long. I had to makeshift a toe cover to go outside in so I don’t destroy it. I even have the toe piece of the boot extended out. They give you two liners maybe one should be smaller since your calf is smaller after surgery. I do like that they give you two so you can wash them.
