The Bledsoe Hi-Top Boot is designed as a flexible alternative to casting for the mid-tibia or fibula to mid-foot area and also for moderate to severe ankle sprains. The Bledsoe EZ Set Hi-Top Boot is designed for range of motion from 20 degrees of dorsi-flexion to 40 degrees of plantar-flexion in 10 degree increments. The product is features an aluminum shell with moldable uprights that can be shaped to fit larger size calves. It features a super low rocker bottom sole to making walking easier and can be ordered as a fixed walker design or with an EZ set ankle hinge to control range of motion at the ankle joint. It has a soft breathable liner that comes in two different styles over the foot portion: A bootie (pictured above) liner continues over the foot all the way out to the ends of the toes or a cuff style liner that stops at your forefoot to provide a little more comfort in hot weather. Finally, the Bledsoe Hi-Top Boot can be ordered with a standard foam ankle/heel pad for added comfort or an air filled ankle/heel pad for enhancing the overall fit inside the boot, as well as, to push swelling away from the ankle for faster healing.
