How do i get a boot for sprained foot?

3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers

Med supply or orthot: Short pneumatic walking boot works well. Go to an medical supply store or orthotic and prosthetic company. Just call first to make sure they have it.

Doctor: You will need to see a doctor for an exam to make sure it is just a sprain and to see if a boot is really necessary.
