Is it good to where boots when your ankle is sprained?

It depends on the specific type of sprain and the severity of the injury. In general, wearing boots with ankle support or braces that support the sprained ankle can help prevent further damage and support the affected foot. Boots are often an optimal shoe during rehabilitation because it restricts abnormal ankle movements that a regular or loose shoe does not prevent. When an ankle is sprained and swollen boots with larger space should be used and in moderate cases when the swelling has completely diminished individuals can then return to their normal shoe with or without an ankle brace (depending on their activity level)

Some sprains may require complete immobilization with a full support cast or immobilization air/foam boot; therefore an individual experiencing sprain injury should seek the advice of a doctor or healthcare professional and follow their specific recommendations in this regard.
