What Is a CAM Boot (Moon Boot) and How Does It Help?
A Controlled Ankle Motion (CAM) boot is a walking boot that protects and supports the foot or ankle while you continue to mobilise. Our podiatrists select the right model, fit it correctly, and make comfort adjustments if needed.
Also called: Moon boot, orthopaedic boot, fracture boot, walking cast, CAM walker.
Common Injuries Requiring a Walking Boot
- Ankle fractures and sprains
- Metatarsal & toe fractures
- Plantar Fasciitis (Heel Pain)
- Sever's Disease (Children)
- Ball of Foot Pain
- Tendonitis and post-operative recovery
Key Features of a CAM Walker
- Rigid outer shell for protection
- Comfort liner (pneumatic options available)
- Shock-absorbing sole with rocker bottom
Podiatry Fitting and Model Variants
Fitting techniques vary by brand and model. Our podiatrists can customise liners/insoles to offload pressure (e.g., for ulcers).
Pneumatic CAM Walkers
Air bladder system contours to swelling for a more personalised fit and support.
Offloading CAM Walkers
Insoles can be shaped to reduce pressure on specific areas under the foot.
ROM Walkers
Hinges regulate ankle motion (e.g., 0°–45° in 7.5° increments) during rehab — follow clinician guidance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is a CAM boot the same as a moon boot?▾
Yes. Both describe the same type of walking boot designed to protect your foot or ankle during recovery.
How long should I wear a CAM boot?▾
Duration varies by injury and clinical advice. Many cases are 4–6 weeks, reviewed periodically by your podiatrist or doctor.
Can I buy a CAM boot (moon boot) from a chemist like Chemist Warehouse?▾
Some large pharmacies and chemists, including brands like Chemist Warehouse, may sell moon boots, but they may not have all sizes in stock because the boots take up significant shelf space and sizing must be matched carefully to the patient.
Chemists also may not typically provide professional fitting or adjustments by a podiatrist, which are important for comfort and proper load distribution—especially if you are recovering from a fracture, sprain or plantar fasciitis.
At Medifoot Clinic we keep all sizes XS–XL in stock (high top & low top) and offer~3-hour delivery across Melbourne’s northern suburbs. We provide podiatry fitting if required as well.
Can you fit the boot for me?▾
Yes. Book a professional fitting and our podiatrists will size, fit and adjust the boot for comfort and function.
Do you have all sizes available?▾
Yes. We keep XS, S, M, L and XL in stock.
