Aircast AirHeel Arch & Heel Support – Plantar Fasciitis and Achilles Tendon Brace

Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct size before ordering and make sure the AirHeel is the right support for your heel pain or plantar fasciitis recovery.

The Aircast AirHeel Arch & Heel Support is a pneumatic foot and ankle brace designed for patients managing plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, and arch strain. Unlike standard compression sleeves or heel cups, the AirHeel uses two interconnected aircells positioned under the arch and behind the Achilles tendon to create pulsating compression with every step.

This dynamic compression helps reduce strain on the plantar fascia, improve circulation, and reduce swelling during walking and daily activity. The lightweight low-profile design fits inside most shoes and can be worn on either the left or right foot, making it a strong option for both active recovery and daily pain management.

  • Condition Focus: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain
  • Fit: Universal — fits left or right foot

Why Choose the Aircast AirHeel?

Most heel pain supports only cushion the foot. The AirHeel works differently by creating active compression under the arch and around the Achilles tendon during walking. This reduces stress on the plantar fascia and helps improve daily walking comfort instead of simply padding the heel.

This brace is commonly used for:

  • Plantar fasciitis
  • Achilles tendonitis
  • Heel pain and heel strain
  • Arch fatigue and overuse pain
  • Recovery during walking and standing-heavy jobs
  • Sports recovery and activity-related heel pain
  • Post-treatment support for chronic plantar fascia irritation

The interconnected aircell design creates what many patients describe as a massage effect with each step, improving comfort while maintaining mobility. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}


Sizing Guide – Choose by Shoe Size

Sizing is based on standard shoe size. This brace is universal for left or right foot, so there is no left/right selection required.

If you are between sizes, choose the larger size to avoid excessive tightness and allow proper aircell positioning.

Size Men’s Shoe Size Women’s Shoe Size Part Number
Small Up to 7 Up to 8.5 09AS
Medium 7.5 – 11 8.5 – 12.5 09AM
Large 11.5+ 13+ 09AL

Manufacturer sizing confirms universal left/right fit and Small, Medium, Large sizing based on shoe size. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

How to Choose the Correct Brace

  1. Use your normal shoe size as your starting point
  2. If between sizes, choose the larger size
  3. Consider swelling or orthotic inserts that may affect fit
  4. Make sure the aircell sits properly under the arch
  5. Call before ordering if you are unsure whether you need AirHeel or a full ankle brace

When to Size Up

  • If you are between sizes
  • If swelling is significant
  • If you wear supportive insoles or orthotics
  • If tighter braces typically create pressure points for you

When Not to Size Down

Do not size down for tighter compression. Proper aircell placement under the arch matters more than aggressive tightness.

Fit warning: A brace that is too small can create discomfort and poor circulation. A brace that is too large may reduce arch lift and compression effectiveness. Call 866-218-0902 for sizing help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Aircast AirHeel used for?

It is used for plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain, and arch strain where dynamic compression helps reduce pain during walking and standing.

Is this better than a heel cup insert?

Yes for many patients. A heel cup only cushions impact, while the AirHeel actively supports the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon using pneumatic compression.

How do I choose the correct size?

Use your normal shoe size and follow the size chart. If you are between sizes, choose the larger size.

Can I wear this all day?

Yes. It is commonly worn during work, walking, exercise recovery, and daily standing activities where plantar fasciitis symptoms are worse.

Do I need a prescription for this brace?

Many patients purchase directly, but insurance reimbursement may require a prescription depending on your provider and coverage.

What if I order the wrong size?

Call before ordering when possible. Correct sizing is important because poor aircell placement reduces the effectiveness of the brace.

What if heel pain gets worse?

Persistent or worsening heel pain should be evaluated by your physician or podiatrist, especially if pain changes your walking pattern or affects daily mobility.

Can this help with Achilles tendonitis too?

Yes. One of the aircells sits behind the Achilles tendon to provide compression and reduce strain, making it commonly used for both plantar fasciitis and Achilles tendonitis.

Comfortable and Classic Dress Shoes That Look Great All Day
Size: 12, Color: Cognac
These dress shoes have been a great addition to my wardrobe. Right out of the box, they felt comfortable thanks to the cushioned foam insole. I can wear them for long days at work or events without my feet feeling sore, which is something I really appreciate. The faux leather upper looks polished and well-made. The cap-toe design and subtle contrast stitching give the shoes a classic, professional appearance that pairs perfectly with dress pants or a suit. They have a clean, timeless style that never feels outdated. The fit is true to size, and the lace-up closure provides a secure and adjustable fit. I also like the stability of the stacked heel and the non-slip sole, which gives me confidence when walking on different surfaces. Overall, these shoes deliver both comfort and style. They look sharp, feel supportive, and hold up well with regular use. I am very happy with this purchase and would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, classic dress shoes.
