OPED VACOped Short Achilles Walking Boot

$349.95

VACOped Short Walking Boot is the shorter and lighter version of VACOped Achilles Boot.  Thanks to the integrated VACO12 technology, the orthosis adapts perfectly to the foot and ankle. VACOped Short allows not only immobilization of the ankle, but also a defined range of motion (ROM) from 15° of dorsal extension to 20° of plantar flexion.

Note on treating Achilles tendon injuries in the equinus position:  With a fixed angle setting between + 15° and +20°, please use the Wedge SoleThe wedge sole needs to be ordered separately.

When walking in a boot, there can be a leg length discrepancy that can cause strain on your hips, which can become painful to deal with. Try our EVENup Shoe Lift to alleviate the discomfort associated with this discrepancy!

  • To swim in your VACOped Short:

    • First: Get your surgeon’s approval.
    • Second: Bring your dry extra liner to the pool.
    • Third:  While wearing your VACOped, enter the pool and enjoy your swim!  Exit the pool, and sit somewhere safe.  Remove your VACOped and dry off your foot.  Unzip the back of the wet liner and remove the vacuum insert.  Dry off the vacuum insert and place into the dry extra liner.  Shake excess water out of the VACOped shell and towel it dry.  Apply the dry liner/insert onto your dry foot, and apply the shell as usual.  You’re now good to go!  Allow the wet liner to air dry.  You may machine-wash the liners on medium, but do not machine dry, or they may shrink.
