AircastAirHeel Ankle Support Brace (with and Without Stabilizers)

I love the comfortability of my brace.

Great customer service from this store. Very happy.

I got these for my husband. They helped him tremendously for a while. Eventually the air pocket deflates taking away the extra support. They didn't fit very well into his work boots so he had to wear them when he wasn't working. We tried a couple different things to help him and these were one of the better ones.

So thankful to have found the heelcast! I thought I had only aggrevated my Achilles tendon, but after trying two different sleeves/braces I quickly realized I had a true injury and needed immobilisation. Found this aircast while I wait for a doctor's appointment. I had immediate pain relief when I put it on after barely being able to put weight on my foot for the last two weeks. Highly recommend!

Not worth the moneyNo better than a gel insert

I got this ankle brace six months ago, but have only worn it for an accumulated time of about 4 weeks. It worked very well supporting my Achilles Tendon and easing the pain, until the pre-inflated air chambers deflated. Now it is just a brace without the air support. While it still helps some, it doesn't offer the same support as before. Disappointed.

My ankle, not my foot, needs support and this looked to be the answer. Got it today, tried to put it on with a sock. No go. Tried a thin sock. No. Cut out the air bladders/wiring to give much more room. Finally got it on over a *stocking* and it is on but feels really tight. I am convinced I was sent a child’s size because I wear a women’s 7.5 and ordered small. My foot is not swollen, just needs support. No one else has complained of a similar problem so it has to be the size. I hope the seller will remedy this.Once on, it works as I expected, allowing me to wear a shoe (not possible if I had not cut out the bladders) and has possibilities. Just wish I had been sent the correct size.

After reading reviews I was still slightly skeptical but hopeful. I injured my Achilles tendon over a month ago and was experiencing moderate pain and the back of my heel was swollen and not reducing. After a day or 2 of rest it would feel much improved but then as soon as I had to carry any kind of a heavier box up a driveway (read:daily repeated task) I would re-inflame it and be limping again. I was mildly disappointed that upon applying this brace it didn't "feel" immediately supportive: I was expecting it to feel like an Ace bandage. However, that is NOT what it is designed to do. I did not notice any active feelings of compression or massaging and forgot I was wearing it.....but then realized at the end of the day I wasn't limping!! I have now been wearing it for a few weeks for every shift of 8-10 hours a day, 5 days a week as a rural carrier. A few times I noticed pain while at home while not wearing it, ao I know the injury is not gone but it IS getting better slowly which is normal. I will be buying a backup for this as soon as it shows any sign of wear! The air compartments have shown no signs of deflating and I weigh about 210 lb.
