How It Works
The Aircast AirSelect Standard Walking Boot uses dual adjustable aircells within a tall, semi-rigid shell to stabilize and protect the injured foot or ankle. By inflating or deflating the aircells, you can achieve personalized compression that helps control swelling and improve comfort throughout recovery. The SoftStrike™ sole absorbs and dissipates shock at heel strike, reducing stress on the injury site, while the rocker bottom design promotes a smooth, natural walking motion to restore mobility safely and efficiently.
