Swede-O® Short Walking Boot helps immobilize the ankle and is ideal for severe ankle sprains, stable ankle fractures, post surgery, and post cast recovery. Studies show that bearing weight on a stable injury helps facilitate recovery, allowing the patient to return to normal activity at a faster rate.

Designed with a non slip rocker bottom and low profile heel to promote natural gait. Shock absorbing, closed cell foam insole and heel cushion absorb and dissipate the impact of heel strike when walking. A wide footbed provides increased stability and accommodates for edema and bandage while a deluxe foam liner provides comfort.

Swede-O Walking Boot is durable, lightweight, and includes fitting pads to accommodate extra space around the ankle, heel, or leg. Anatomically contoured uprights provide a comfortable fit. Bilateral design fits right or left foot.
