The Bledsoe Genesis Walker boot, inspired by athletic shoe technology. The walker provides a biomechanical natural walk allowing you to recover with minimal disruption to your daily life.
You do not have to compromise your life on the pathway to recovery. Not all boot walkers are created equal, some won’t provide you with needed protection and comfort.
The genesis walker revolutionises patient comfort, manoeuvrability, and control.
Comfort of the Breg air walker boot
The genesis is the lightest full shell walker on the market while still providing strength where it is needed with dynamic air stride technology. The dynamic air chamber actively absorbs the shock during heel strike.
The extra low heel height of the genesis boot walker is comparable to a standard shoe. Consistent heel height reduces pelvic tilt lessening heel and back pain.
Narrow heel width as compared to other walkers lowers the force placed on the knee reducing secondary pain.
Manoeuvrability of the Breg air walker boot
Athletic shoe thread designs provide traction on different surfaces permitting better cross directional movement. Bledsoe engineered the thread design of the genesis by studying the components of the natural gait. The thread helps to simulate the action of a healthy ankle and leads to more natural walking.
Control of the Breg air walker boot
The built-in air pump allows incremental changes of pressure in the dual air chambers providing compression to the foot and ankle. The hard shell design combines the control of cast with the convenience of a walker.
