How to choose the right size of walking boot for adults
Choosing the right size of walking boot is essential to ensure comfort, stability, and safety while walking after an injury or surgery. A boot that is too small or too large can hinder recovery and cause additional pain. Here are some tips to select the right one.
Measure your foot correctly before purchasing
To choose the correct size of walking boot, start by measuring your foot. It is recommended to measure both length and width, preferably in the evening when the foot is slightly swollen. This simple step helps prevent the boot from being too tight or too loose, ensuring comfort and safety throughout its use.
Check the type of walking boot and recommended fit
Adult walking boots come in short, medium, and long models depending on the type of injury and level of support needed. Make sure the boot properly supports the foot and ankle while allowing slight adjustments via Velcro straps. For optimal comfort and proper support, the INDESMED walking boot provides precise and ergonomic adjustment, ideal for safe recovery.
