- Fit in shoes: AFOs and low-profile ankle braces are designed to be worn inside a shoe.

What is the difference between a walking boot and a post op shoe?
A walking boot covers the foot, ankle and lower leg with a rigid shell. A post op shoe covers only the foot and has a stiff, flat sole that fits over bandages Foot or toe coverage.
Can I sleep in a walking boot?
Some people are told to wear their walking boot at night, and others are allowed to remove it. Follow the product instructions for fit and use.
What is an AFO brace?
An AFO (ankle foot orthosis) is a lightweight brace worn inside the shoe that holds the foot and ankle in position. A leaf spring AFO is a common style used for foot drop.
What is a night splint used for?
A night splint holds the foot in a gently flexed position while you sleep. It is commonly used by people with plantar fasciitis or heel pain.
What is the difference between an ankle brace and an ankle air splint?
An ankle brace is usually soft or laced and flexible. An ankle air splint has a hard outer shell with air-filled pads for firmer side-to-side support.
What is a shoe lift balancer?
A shoe lift balancer, also called a shoe leveler, attaches to the bottom of one shoe to raise it. It is often worn on the opposite foot when using a walking boot, so both legs are at a similar height.
How do I find the right size?
Walking boots and post op shoes are usually sized by shoe size. Ankle braces and splints may use shoe size or ankle measurement. Check the sizing chart on each product page, or call us for help.
