This boot for a broken toe offers support and protection that you need after you break your toe or a bone in your foot. This can be very painful, and may decrease your mobility. The BraceAbility broken toe boot can help to decrease your pain and provide support to your foot. It is 11 inches tall and is constructed out of a strong polymer plastic, providing the fracture boot with protection and support.
For maximum comfort, the boot for fractured toe and other injuries is lined with a deluxe foam material that is soft and comfortable against your skin. It has two straps over the foot and one over the ankle. These Velcro closures make this broken toe boot easy to apply and adjust for a customized fit and desired compression. This fracture toe boot is surprisingly lightweight and has a low profile when compared to other broken toe boots. The low profile helps to improve mobility when wearing.
It also features an arching rocker design, which makes it easier to walk with a toe injury. The arched bottom allows you to move around in a more natural way. This broken toe boot leaves your toe area open, which increases the breathability of the boot and prevents any rubbing of your toes against the end of the boot. It also has a wide footbed that allows for bandaging and swelling.
Once your swelling has gone down, you can adjust the straps and tighten for a better fit. This orthopedic boot for broken toe can also be used as a post-op boot, such as after a bunion surgery. This walking boot for broken toes is available in many sizes and can fit kids, women or men. Sizes are measured by U.S. shoe size.

Thank you very much, you helped me a lot!!
Thank you for this video the nurses in the rehab didn't know what to do with the boot, I had to figure it out on my own and missed the part with the pads that fill the gabs ...!
Nice video I just got my cast off and the doctor ordered me that’s boot looks easy when the nurse did but had a hard time taking off thanks for the video awesome 👏 😀
Awesome demo! I am a paraplegic and fractured my ankle again this time they put me in a boot but the darn thing is a trap I swear( I couldn’t figure the darn thing out).
TYSM I'm trying to heal to see my family this Saturday and its Thursday an do need to be walking a little bit an do still felt pressure and Thai helped SO MUCH t y!!!:)
Thank you for video nothing much out there on it
Thanks so much! I needed this!
I have a stress fracture on my left fibula. This is exactly the advice I needed as the many straps on the boot I received defeated me completely after I'd taken it off once for a shower. Thank you.
bro i got the same injury as you and i was wondering how serious was yours, the physical appearance when you fractured your fibula because i want to see if mine is serious or not
I finally learned how to put this on
Same because I am 14 and have an ankle fracture
i fractured my foot during wrestling, the doctor put my in a boot and this helped a lot
I broke my leg and year ago and broke it again and im gerting a boot on the 16th and this video helps me remember because my boot looked exactly like that
THANKS!
You're welcome!
Place pads between the liner and the boot but your model placed them inside the liner next to the leg.
Thank you for this. It made me realize that my boot is wrong! 😡 My boot is just plastic and velcro, and a thiiiin fabric cover. I noticed something strange with it but since im not a doctor,I used it anyways yesterday. No problems. But now I cannot event stand without feeling scared. The boot was hitting my ankle all the time and I couldn't get a correct fit no matter what. I even started crying because I was so frustrated. Why didnt the doctor or the people who sold this boot to my mother explained us about how to use it? 😭 I cant believe that a RUclips video is better than the doctor.
Suggestion: As designed, the second strap up from the bottom crosses over the ankle area at a 45 degree angle. This often causes the bottom edge of the strap to dig into the top of the foot. To alleviate this problem, use the bottom two straps in a crisscrossing pattern forming an X over the top of the foot.
Hey mind asking , is it possible to buy in euros? Or then how much would it be in Euros?
My foot has swollen up so I have to go get a x ray and I rlly don’t want to get a boot
Where in the world do you get those pad inserts?! I can't find them anywhere on the internet 🙈
Walker shoes ka price kya hai
I am polio affected person. Can I use this regularly
I need one of them now because I think I sprained my ankle
What if I don't want medicine grade velcro? What if I want chines grade?

It is hard going up steps.You should try.
I got hit by a car i have 8 screws and a plate in my left foot they gave me a boot but it was big i got my own but it fits me just right .How much space do the boot and the tip of your toes should have
This helped but I still don’t know
Hi how do u know what size u need in the boot and is it good for 25% weight bearing after tibia break
Hello! Sizing is based on US shoe size, you can find the size chart on our website --> www.braceability.com/products/broken-toe-boot
We don't like to give medical advice, we suggest showing your doctor our website and getting their opinion!
Thanks for asking questions! If you have any more please feel free to ask.
hi where can I buy this walking boots?
I looked at the online sizing chart and want to make sure I get the right size with enough room at the front of the toes. Could you tell me what size boot is this in the video and what size shoe does the video person wear? I wear between an 8.5-9 shoe depending on the shoe and don't want to purchase the wrong sizing for my foot/ankle.
Hi Megan! The model usually wears a size 10 tennis shoe and she has a M on, as you can see it has a little extra space near the front! I think you would be perfect in a size small.
Is this boot good for plantar fasciitis heel pain? Is there a maximum weight limit?
Hi Michelle, this will provide some relief to plantar fasciitis but to truly make plantar fasciitis feel better you need to be stretching the plantar fascia past 90°. We actually have quite a few products made specifically for plantar fasciitis! You can check them out here --> www.braceability.com/collections/plantar-fasciitis-treatment The one that I would recommend the most is this --> www.braceability.com/products/plantar-fasciitis-night-splint Though it's not the most comfortable to fall asleep in you will notice symptoms going away much faster!
I am supposed to wear this after my cast on my fractured ankle was taken off. I am not to walk or out any pressure on my foot for at least a week. I can not keep my heel in place while wearing it without walking. I wore the boot before I got the cast and walked in it with no problems. Help?
Hi Bemde, make sure the strap that wraps near your ankle is very secure. This will help keep the boot from moving around and also keep your foot as secure as possible!
I have a stress fracture in my left foot and was told to wear a boot. Is it normal for the Velcro to be noisy when you walk? Or am I not wearing the boot correctly? It seems to be just the top strap making the noise.
Hi Marissa, we have noticed the Velcro sound. It is totally normal and the sound doesn't mean you wearing it wrong!
We are working on a way to try and reduce the sound, it is caused by the slight movement of the ankle and knee when walking.
Thank you for the question!
Do you have any tips on how to make it less noisy? I feel like a lot of people stare when I walk in public - as weird as that sounds!
Ikr the Velcro straps are noisy, but you can try putting the top Velcro liner the other way so the Velcro is on your skin, then place a foam pad to be comfortable, it helped a lot for me, but it was just uneven at the top.
I just got one for a broken toe. So how tight should it be? When I walk, I still feel my left, big toe which is broken. But the rest is kinda tight. I just want this break to heal right, not cut off any circulation. It feels comfy, just tight. And why do I still feel a little soreness of the broken toe with each step? I must say at least I can take that step, can't do it without the boot, was very painful to walk on the left foot where the broken big toe is, just made swelling worse. I broke it two days ago. Didn’t know it was broken, just thought it got a big hit. But when it got worse, I went to see the doctor and got xrays and this boot.
Speak with your doctor...
No way this or any type of boot will let you walk and continue working with a fresh injury or fracture. You are better off with knee walker!
My friend broke a bone in her foot and the first Dr. Told her it would never heal. She wears the boot and now a year later it is nearly better!
Do i wear this all the time. It heavy lol
6 weeks down 4 more to go 😊
I just purchased a boot for my sprained ankle, but I can't put the foot all the way in without it hurting so much, because of having it in a 90 degree position.. If put it like that, it feels like I'm tearing something. I know I have to wear it regardless; but how do I know if I'm not causing more damage?
I sprained mine once but didn't get a boot but i hurt the same one and idk if i broke or sprained or just twisted it idk if I will get u boot
No way this or any type of boot will let you walk and continue working with a fresh injury or fracture. You are better off with knee walker!
4 years later but this is exactly my problem! Drs keep telling me to force it in when I can't get close to 90 degrees. Curious how it ended for you? I want to use a brace before the boot...
How much are these I just sprained all of my toes from jumping off the stairs
:(
Girll, I sprain my ankle while I was sleeping today and I see one for like 20$ but I don't know how much it will cost in your country
Ouch! That sounds very painful! Our walking boot is $39.99 USD. You can find it our on website --> www.braceability.com/products/broken-toe-boot
lixdy •Reielle• you don’t need one for injured toes
Doctor will sell it for $300 but the same is $50 online so be careful buying from doctor
Sizing guide would be nice
Hi there,
If you purchased a BraceAbility walking boot on Amazon the sizing chart is always the second photo plus there is sizing in the first bullet point. But, if you purchased this from a different seller, our sizing aren't guaranteed to be the same.
Thank you!
@@Braceability thanks, I didn't realize I could swipe over, I found the sizing guide. Now waiting for my boot to arrive
I injured my Achilles, and i still go to elementary, how do i make the boot less slippery, please txt me asap
awkward boi it depends on the type of boot you have most cam boots have a non slip traction on the sole i am saying this from experience i have a air pump boot that i have to use due to a severe ankle strain make sure to wipe your boot on a rug or mat if the sole gets wet
@@donnaclifford7691 I tried everything. Wiped the bottom of the boot, dragged it over carpeting but it still slides even when I’m standing still on a non-wet flat surface. .
What about air pump? Too difficult to put pads in.
Hello Andrea! We have another video with features on the Air walking boot that you may be more interested in - ruclips.net/video/5jtzB4i-sC0/видео.html
If you have a tough time putting the pads in once the boot is on you may have to insert them before you put it on. There should be a couple of pieces of loose Velcro in the packaging that you can attach to the back sides of the pads to secure the location.
If this is still bothering you after this feel free to contact our customer support team and they will be glad to help you get the best fit out of your boot. You can call them at (866) 712-7808 or e-mail them at support@braceability.com
Thank you and have a great day!
BraceAbility Thank you for response. I was told last month I would be able to get therapy starting May 7th now surgeon said wear boot and wait 4 more weeks. I hate the boot; I have two. I don't have room to practice I just lay in bed 😥 He said rotate ankle I'm not even bothering. K don't know how to do this.
Don't know how to do this? Would a therapist be able to direct?
Hello again Andrea! Sorry for the delayed response, a therapist will be able to tailor exercises and stretches to your specific injury. This will make recovery time much faster and less painful!
Andrea Dodd i have a air pump boot to and to answer your question about rotating your ankle, sit on the side of your bed or in a chair then lift your foot up and move it in a circle but watch for pain, stop if pain is noticed
Are these slip resistant! I have one on and i don’t know if I can return to work while wearing this
Hi there, yes these are slip-resistant! If you take a look at the product photos on our website you can see the tread! www.braceability.com/products/broken-toe-boot
@@Braceability thank you so much!
@@nedburke9751 I got mine last month and it worked just fine 🤷♀️
@@KADOriginal so your boot did not slide on flat surfaces? Mine slides all over the place, even when I’m simply standing the boot will begin to slide to the right. Frustrating
@@nedburke9751 nope. Idk what might be wrong with yours but mine is fine.
Hi! Do I need to wear the boot all day? I have my right ankle fractured and my left ankle sprained. I'm using the boot on my right foot and it sweats a lot. Should I wear socks? Thank you!
yeah my doctor recommended me to put on a sock
Legotten Thank you! I order socks for my air boot.
Sprained my ankle badly. Second ankle injury 😔
Same here! This boot is hard to get used to! Hurts bad when I lift with every step.
I want this
Hi Laurie! You can buy this walking boot on our website! www.braceability.com/products/broken-toe-boot
You WANT a walking boot? It may be fun with ought an injury ( witch its not) and it HURTS when you HAVE to wear it
I broke my big toe that’s why I am here
Omg same
what happened
Matej Stanojkovski I was running in gym with no sock and rammed into a wall and stubbed. The sad part is that I’m in high school
You woose
I have been experiencing sharp pain on top of my foot with my boot on. Is this common
Hi Leanne, if it is a pinching, use one of the pads included with the brace! If it is more like a tender spot, that would be a bigger issue where you might want to use a different type of brace.
Removing the lining it’s important if as your foot becomes swollen down. It will make it more comfortable if you fit the liner and then put foot in the boot.
How much the price of walking boots
Hi Martin, these boots are $39.99. You can see more details about this product at www.braceability.com/products/broken-toe-boot
About $300.00 dollars!!!!!
I just had one put on yesterday.
I paid 39.99 at Amazon
My mom is 53 years old..
I wannna order Amazon for walkin boots...but online how do I choose the size...my mom foot wear size is 6 ..so which one is comfortable for her..
Small or Medium??
Please help me out
Hi Appu, if you are ordering a BraceAbility product the sizing chart will always be the second photo on the listing. Even on Amazon.
I am a size 6 and doc gave me a small. It’s plenty big. Probably would fit a 7 also.
I had to mute the sound as I cannot abide vocal fry.
I had a bad sprained ankle just a little bit over 4 years ago. I still have it just in case. I even torn a legitimate in that ankle,too. I thought that I broke it at first in trying to get up a couple times. I even wore the boot cast just after wearing a fiberglass cast for 4 weeks just after I broke my ankle. I know at first it is big clucking to wear. I had to wear on one ankle and 5 years later the other ankle.
Hey folks, a reminder: RUclips videos should not be a source of medical advice. If you are asking specific questions about your medical condition, remember your practitioner or specialist is best qualified to respond.
So easy to do if you're young and skinny, and have long arms, like the person in this video, the straps are too short I can't see the buckle that I'm supposed to put it into let alone put them on ,whoever designed this had no consideration for overweight older people who are alone with mobility problems , totally ridiculous, why they didn't have some kind of extender on the strap for people that have a hard time bending over, I'm damaging my ankle while I'm trying to put this damn thing on, so pissed off,
Poorly manufactured. I’ve had it less than a week and two Velcro straps have already torn off. I can’t even correctly use it now. A $200 waste of time, effort, and money.
Girl, this boot is not 200 dollars.its 39 dollars. ive had mine 2-3 week and the straps are totally fine. Its came in less than a week and easy to buy
YOu sold me a piece of SHITTTTT
