I can’t feel my foot so is it safe to sleep with tho

Why don't you just place the orthotic on top of the foam? Tighten down on the velcro straps and you'd be set.

Hi! Can you tell me the maker of this boot? Thank you for the tip!

Thank you a lot for this video, but could you do one about how to sleep with it? I have to Keep it on at all times so, do I put a pillow under my leg/knee But not the heel? My bed has a elevation already as I have to be 24/7 laying down for 2 months or Keep my leg elevated, and not even think about standing on that foot, but my leg it's kind of hanging from the heel and it hurts a lot. Also everybody says to put some ice but the pain goes away when it"s warm. (broken tibia and fibula, had surgery to put plate and screws. 3rd week"s recovery)

thanks for the insight ms sandeep...want to know your opinion on an issue....i suffered a 5th metatarsal fracture and was advised a traditional plaster cast ...which i had for 4weeks as per the dr advise....now after 4 weeks the plaster cast is removed on dr advise ...but my physical therapist has advised an aircast boot ( like the one you are carrying)....i amconfused....do i still need an air boot after 4 weeks of pop cast....will that extra expenditure really help...

Do you wear it so much hours in a day and what about when you sleep do you take it off then back on in the morning.
