The low rocker sole promotes a natural gait, enhancing mobility, while the generous foot base accommodates dressings comfortably. The universal design allows it to be worn on either the left or right leg.

Walking with the Boot
The low rocker sole of the Aircast SP Walker Brace is designed to promote a natural walking motion. When walking, try to maintain a smooth, rolling gait from heel to toe. Avoid stomping or dragging your foot.
Adjusting Air Cells During Use
Your foot and ankle may experience swelling fluctuations throughout the day. You can adjust the air cell inflation as needed:
- To Increase Support: Reconnect the hand bulb and add more air until comfortable.
- To Decrease Pressure: Press the small button on the hand bulb (or the valve itself, if applicable) to release air gradually until the desired comfort level is achieved.
It is recommended to deflate the air cells slightly before going to bed for increased comfort during sleep, then re-inflate in the morning.

| Boot makes a "scraping" or "velcro" noise when walking. | Friction between the front plastic panel and the main boot frame, often due to Velcro contact. | This can sometimes be mitigated by adjusting the position of the front plastic panel. Some users have found success by inverting the front panel (so the writing is upside down) as the Velcro placement may differ slightly, reducing friction. Ensure the main straps are sufficiently tight to hold the boot securely. |
