Contact Our TeamFrequently Asked Questions
When can I switch from a boot to a brace after ankle surgery?
When your surgeon says the repair is strong enough, often at a follow-up visit. Many people step down gradually, wearing the brace for more of the day over time.
Suggested: Brace Direct Recovery Ankle Brace
Do I need a prescription for a post-op ankle brace?
No, you can buy our post-op braces, boots and shoes without a prescription. Your insurer may ask for one if you plan to submit a claim.
Which boot is best after ankle surgery?
Most surgeons use a tall walking boot after ankle surgery, often an air boot that adjusts as swelling changes. Follow your surgeon's order for height and type.
