- Open design keeps patient cool
- Optional air ankle/heel pad allows for ability to adjust ankle pressure for increased comfort and provides pneumatic ankle support.

Bledsoe Breeze Boot vs. other methods Back to top
| Skin Comfort |
Open-cell, breathable foam laminate increases comfort and reduces possibility of skin problems. |
Flame bonded technique closes foam pores and increases possibility of skin problems. |
| Rocker Bottom |
Computer-designed rocker tread allows a near normal walking gait, and low heel prevents pelvic tilt. |
Rocker is either too high, causing back pain, or too flat, not allowing the patient to walk properly. |
| Security & Control |
Straps engage and lock to brace uprights, holding the leg steady. |
Straps pass over the uprights, through slots or to only one upright, causing the leg to move under the uprights. |
| Shell & Uprights |
Strong aluminum alloy provides strength, yet allows formability to change widths. |
Plastic shell and uprights can not be formed for swollen ankles or large legs. |
