I am editing this, because I previously wrote that it was impossible to get a shoe on when wearing the AirCast. We subsequently discovered that a small adjustment allows me to pull the cast up far enough that I can get my foot into a sneaker and even some sandals. Now that I've figured this out, I can wear it both inside and outside. I think it will be helpful on an upcoming trip.
One "con" is that the instructions are written in a .5 size font, fine for teenagers, not so much for over-forties.
For getting around the house for a few days until my ankle (I hope) improves, it's a good solution, and not terribly pricey.

Lo único fastidioso es que tenía que usar una calceta larga abajo de la férula porque las tiras de velcro me irritaban la piel, pero de los males fue lo menor. Fuera de eso es cómoda (dentro de lo que cabe, claro).

Lo único fastidioso es que tenía que usar una calceta larga abajo de la férula porque las tiras de velcro me irritaban la piel, pero de los males fue lo menor. Fuera de eso es cómoda (dentro de lo que cabe, claro).
As part of my job I go over fields and uneven terrain.
I needed to get back to work before it was fully healed so I've used this for stabilisation. It still allows the forward and backward flexing of my foot, but prevents the sideways rolling I'm now prone to until my ankle is fully healed.
It's also adjustable to suit different widths of feet and the air pockets are also adjustable, allowing air to the increased or deceased.
I've worn this with trainers for gym work and boots for work with no issues.
