The
Short walking boot offers a solution to a number of indications related
to the forefoot, mid-foot and hind foot injuries, as well as some ankle
injuries.
The main indications for the Short are:
- Metatarsal fracture
- Stress and stable fracture of the foot
- Bunionectomy, hallux valgus

Short has a durable, semi-rigid shell that helps support the limb while
providing protection. The pre-inflated front panel and two adjustable
distal aircells, housed within the shell, provide compression and
support. SoftStrike technology absorbs and dissipates shock, while the
light weight and lab-tested rocker sole combine to encourage a natural
gait and a continuation of everyday activities.
