CAMboots, also known as fracture boots or walking boots, are a great option for rehabilitating injuries that foot and ankle specialists and/or podiatrists offer in their offices. As seen on Justin Bieber's picture here, they offer the advantage of permitting the patient to walk as the injury heals. The device immobilizes and protect the injured foot while minimizing associated morbidities.
As you can see in the picture of Shia LaBeouf, CAM boots also come in short leg sizes. The shorter size gives more comfort to the patient without making them feel like a "Transformer". Usually use to treatment of forefoot injuries.
The CAM boot that Reese Witherspoon is shown using offers the option of inflatable air bladders. This are helpful to help control swelling and provide additional immobilization.
