Description
The Aircast AirSelect Short walking boot delivers comfortable, moderate support and targeted compression for forefoot, midfoot, and select ankle injuries. Its semi‑rigid, open‑frame shell protects the limb without excess weight, and the integrated pumps let patients fine‑tune distal aircells—no separate hand bulb required. The SoftStrike rocker sole helps absorb impact and encourages a more natural step during everyday activities.

How to fit the AirSelect Short Walking Boot
1) Preparation
– Wear a sock that covers the calf for comfort and hygiene.
– Open all straps and remove the liner if needed.
2) Liner and foot position
– Place the liner inside the shell and sit with your knee at 90 degrees.
– Slide your foot fully back so the heel sits snugly in the heel cup.
3) Secure the liner and shell
– Wrap the liner evenly around the foot and lower leg.
– Position the front panel. Fasten the straps from the toes upward, adjusting so they are snug but not restrictive.
4) Inflate the aircells
– Use the integrated pumps to inflate the distal aircells to a firm, comfortable pressure.
– Check circulation: toes should remain warm, pink, and with normal sensation. If numbness or tingling occurs, deflate slightly.
5) Walk and recheck
– Take a few steps to assess fit and gait.
– Re‑adjust straps or air pressure as needed during the day, especially after swelling changes.
Care and use tips
– Spot clean liner and shell with mild soap and air‑dry.
– Inspect straps and tread regularly; re‑tighten as needed.
– Follow your clinician’s weight‑bearing and wear‑time instructions.
