How long will the sole last before I need to replace it?
As a guideline we say 12 weeks, however, it has been known for patients with a more ‘outdoor’ career/hobby to need to replace the sole more often. One patient didn’t let his injury slow him down, we have photographic evidence of him on his combine harvester wearing his boot!

Can I wash my VACOped, if so what with?
Washing your VACOped is no problem simply, wipe clean with warm soapy water and then dry off with a towel.

Why does it feel odd in the arch of my foot?
The feeling in the arch of your foot is due to our patented VACO12 vacuum technology forming to the shape of your foot. This means instead of your arch being empty, it is filled with tiny beads that have been vacuumed of air and are now sitting close against your arch. You should get used to this sensation in a couple of days of wearing your boot.

Do they come in left and rights?
All of our boots are universal which means that they can be worn on either foot.

I am left handed can I change the straps round?
Left or right handed the straps are totally flexible dependant on your preference. With a twist and pull motion, the straps and hooks can be removed and simply fitted back onto the boot on the opposite side. For further guidance, please do not hesitate to give us a call on 1300 86 6275 we are always happy to help!

Can I walk without the sole on?
You should NEVER weight bear without one of the soles attached. Although there are non-slip grips on the base of the boots this is only for safety at night should you place your foot on the floor when the sole is off. The sole is removable, so should you have to wear the boot permanently for a short period it can be removed for bed.

Can I travel on an aeroplane with my boot on?
We hope you will never experience an injury before travelling abroad for your holidays but if you do, don’t worry as all of our boots can be worn to travel by road, rail or plane! Please always consult your healthcare team before travelling.
