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. 


Quick Clinical Summary

  • Brand: Aircast / DJO
  • Product: AirHeel Arch & Heel Support
  • Condition Focus: Plantar fasciitis, Achilles tendonitis, heel pain
  • Fit: Universal — fits left or right foot
  • Sizes: Small, Medium, Large
  • Support System: Dual interconnected pneumatic aircells
  • Common Use: Heel pain relief, arch support, Achilles recovery
  • Profile: Low-profile shoe-compatible design

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.

Overnight Magic in a Jar – Silky Hydration for Glass Skin
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
I’ve been using the Abib Rice Probiotics Overnight Mask Barrier Jelly for a couple of weeks now, and it has quickly earned a permanent spot in my skincare routine. It combines a clean, lightweight gel with deeply nourishing benefits—perfect if you're chasing that "glass skin" glow without heaviness. Right out of the jar, the texture feels like a cross between a jelly and a balm. It glides on cool and soothing, absorbs within a minute, and leaves a glossy, hydrated finish that still feels breathable. It’s not greasy at all—just a gentle shimmer of hydration that makes your skin feel pampered, not overloaded. Overnight, the formula truly does its work. In the mornings, I wake up to skin that looks softer, plumper, and noticeably clearer around the cheeks and chin. It helps lock in moisture so well that my skin stays balanced throughout the next day—no midday dryness or tightness, even when I use drying actives like retinol or vitamin C. What really stands out is how bright and even my complexion looks. Fine, subtle dryness around my nose and mouth has disappeared, and my pores appear less obvious. The lightweight probiotic-rich formula feels soothing without burdening sensitive or acne-prone skin. I also appreciate how well it layers in. I often apply it after serum or toner and then follow with SPF or a light moisturizer in the morning. My base products glide on beautifully over it—no pilling, no tacky residue, just glide and glow. If you have dry, combination, or sensitive skin and want a glow-inducing overnight booster that isn’t heavy or pore-clogging, this gel mask is a dream. It provides the deep moisture of a sleeping mask but feels light and refreshing. A little goes a long way, and I’m already halfway through the jar—I’ll definitely be buying more.

Love it! Will repurchase
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
I bought this to help with moisturizing my skin that is somewhat sensitized. I get hormonal breakouts but with daily use of a prescription tretinoin and antibiotic cream I am able to keep them at bay. I also use a sulpher soap on work nights to cleanse thoroughly. All this has sensitized my skin. I use a thick nighttime moisturizer (C***ve Skin Renewing Night Cream) but it was still not enough for the dryness my skin was experiencing. I use this mask over my moisturizer and it soothes irritation and moisturizes my skin really well. Before I tried this mask I was using petroleum jelly over my moisturizer but this mask works better. It’s very thick but easy to spread. I’ve used it on my eyes and I’ve had no irritation. I apply it a couple hours before I go to bed and it soaks into my skin. After using it for a few weeks I think my skin is softer also. I will repurchase.

Sooo good!
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
This is AMAZING! I used this over my serums and a retinol moisturizer before bed and woke up with the most moisturized and smooth skin I’ve had in forever. It’s a thick consistency but smooths on easily. It is a bit tacky for a little bit before it dries down but absolutely worth it. I learned about this on Beautiful and Bothered and Johnny is right!!

A little goes a long way
Color: Rice Probiotics (Barrier Jelly)
I love overnight masks, especially for dull winter skin, and this is a really nice one! The texture is extremely thick and jelly like and it has a lovely cooling effect. It didn’t clog my pores or irritate my skin, though I do find that it feels a bit heavy and stifling if applied very liberally. But, after a few tried I’ve finally found the right amount, a little goes a very long way. Because of that, this little pot should last me a long time, even with regular use so it’s a great value! I like to layer it over my barrier protecting/repair products or over retinols and I wake up with hydrated, bright, and fresh skin in the morning! Highly recommend.
