Is the knee support comfortable for a boot? I read the drive DV8 (the other product I'm considering does not work if you have a boot. Thanks

Yes. I wore a boot both times I used this. I greatly preferred this one to the other one I initially tried.

The boot felt a bit more bulky than when using it with just a cast, even though my cast went up to (but not covering) my knee. I didn't use it much after I got the boot.

If you use it for long periods and you put a lot of pressure on the knee/shin part of the boot, it may be uncomfortable -- similar to "sock lines" or "sheet creases" on your skin. I used it with only a soft cast. But it's truly the best-reviewed one I've seen. It's relatively lightweight for how sturdy the construction is. Turns easily. I recommend it.

This roller works great with a boot. Just make sure you do not adjust the knee pad too high This is the second walker we've had. The first one was a rental and was harder to use and heavier. I highly recommend this walker.

I had a shorter boot (mid calf) and I never noticed an issue. This was a lifesaver - I don't know what I would have done for 6 weeks without this. What I liked about this walker is the ability to pivot - if you are in a tight space, you can switch the wheels so you can turn in a 360 if needed. You can then lock the wheels for straight hallways and such. Loved the basket, awesome for carrying things to meetings. I ordered a cup holder, but mine came with one - bonus (small thing, but huge help). Worth every penny!

Hi. I am not sure what about the boot looks different to you or maybe I am not able to see the same picture you are looking at. Checking here though http://www.milwaukeemotorcycleclothing.com/boots/womens/riding-boots.html?p=3. And through their page there is no hit for loggers or logging style troopers. I am wondering if it's a wrong photo or maybe an older style of the boot. I'm sorry for not being much help but the photo I see looks like my boots.. which are the same as shown on the website link I put here. The boots I got were on the large side of the size marked and I could have easily went a half size smaller. The boots were comfortable and not too hard to breaj in. Nice and sturdy but still comfy and soft. Good support. Good luck with your shopping.

My knee is swollen so it rolls down if I put it on the whole way, but it rolls less than any other I have tried. I use the smaller ones in place of support hose...(up to the knee)...they are easier to put on and never roll. Futuro gives more support than others.

My personal opinion would be "no." It is a fairly light weight, compression sock. A little extra support on top than some. But basically...holds sides in. I have used many...before, and after major surgery. I work on my feet for twelve hours a day, in steel toed work boots. I use compression socks to keep my foot support...even just a little. I would doubt it would support something enough...as serious as drop foot. Hope this helps.

I've only worn it on my calf with a 6" boot but as others have mentioned, it can be worn that way. I don't see such a carry method working all that well for me as it seems to put it so close that I'd likely slice myself on the draw (I'm a fairly slim build) but YMMV.

Yes. The inside of the boot is padded and the air pump lets you firm it up to your leg reasonably comfortably.

I don't know if you've found a solution for yourself or not, but maybe this will help someone else in this situation... If you strap your feet into the pedals while the pedals are horizontal and parallel to the floor (with your legs perpendicular to the pedals and knees directly above your feet while sitting with the seat rested near the digital readout) instead of with the pedals at their resting position (at an angle), it seems to work infinitely better. I did this last night and was able to make it through the workout without my feet coming out of the pedals. Seems to have something to do with the feet secured flatter and with the weight on the heel rather than looser and more weight on the ball of the foot.

I'm only a user, and I wasn't able to play volleyball without pain(I quit playing for a while). It's working for me, I had that tibeofemoral inestability and now, with the Knee Suppport, I don't have to be worry about my knee when I play volleyball. Of course is better to ask a profesional about this.

Isn't pain tolerance something only you can answer? All i can say is that I wear these to snowboard... Have fallen on rocks hidden under snow without issue. I can 'take a knee' when i want to, need to. I'll not board without them. For the price, I'd suggest just trying them out. or perhaps, go to home depot, take a pair of knee pads and see if you're able to 'take a knee' without pain. I'd suspect that pain would be due to pressure of kneeling / pressure of weighting your knee, as opposed to any pressure of the ground puts on your knee. If that's the case, it wouldn't matter if you were kneeling on a mattress, or concrete.

There is support with this brace. When I wear it my knee doesn't "pop" like it does when I am not using a brace. I do believe it does give the support needed from a sitting to standing position. If you need a lot of support then a hinged brace might work better to keep your knee stabilized.

Hmm. I've been using the boot for that too. I think you could walk in 2 of them. It really helps my ankle. I would see a physical therapist too...! hang in there.

Hello Sue, That boot should be perfect for the achilles tendon I do not believe you need to go any higher. However if you do order the boot and it does not work out you can always exchange it for the other boot. I think this will work! Thank you!

only if its not put on correctly, mine sits comfortable to give me extra support on my knees. It certainly doesnt compare to the Orthapedic Brace which is designed to imobalise the knee. I want to still bend and walk so this is just fine for everyday.

This is a lite support for the knee. I would advise you to seek your Orthopedist's views on the proper knee support.

There is no problem at all with the knee on the seat in a walking boot or a hard castl. It's comfortable and made specific for this in mind.

Dear Jenna,We sometimes would use one boot when our GSD's pads would get cut from rough rock in Hawaii. We had hardwood floors, and the boots have enough grip for walking. Our dog (really he is our son's service dog) was used to having his pads massaged, so he did not mind the boots. The boots will come off when running, but stay on most of the time. I bought these because it was the preferred boot for military working dogs in Afghanistan. Hope this helps, and best wishes as you care for your fur friend.very sincerely,Stephen

Wouldn't advise it. The foot rest is a metal plate. No padding. Typically one is leg pressing heavy weights and I certainly prefer footwear.
