Aircast Boot

Holds your ankle in plantarflexion with stacked heel wedges—widely issued, usually lighter, and often less expensive than hinged boots.

Walking boot (orthopaedic). Protocols often use either a wedge CAM boot or a hinged boot—follow what your clinic issued. Outcomes depend more on angle control and adherence than brand. Typical wedge-based fracture boot used for Achilles care. Remove wedges only on your clinician’s schedule. Retailers and hospital suppliers vary by region—links are common purchase starting points, not endorsements.

~$120–168 retail (size-dependent)

Aircast Wedges

Replacement heel wedges help maintain the plantarflexion setup in your Aircast boot as directed by your clinician.

Replacement heel wedge inserts for Aircast-style CAM boots. Use only the wedge schedule your care team gave you.
