I’ve made the jump from the cast to the VacoCast Pro (aka Vaco Ped boot). As expected it is much different than the cast. It’s heavier and bulkier. But I think the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. I’m placing a little weight on it, but not FWB. Mainly because if I tried to stand on both legs, the Vaco leg is much taller, so I’d be putting all of my weight on the bad leg and none on the good leg. I think I’ll try wearing a tall hiking boot on the good leg to try to reduce the height difference.
I’ve adapted the PEMF device to it. It’s very convenient and it looks sweet, very SciFi.

I can only imagine the looks you’re going to get when you start going out in public! Very futuristic look.
As far as height difference goes, if you still have a height difference between your hiking boot and your recovery boot, try to find (or make — you seem to be pretty handy) something like this: http://www.evenupcorp.com/ (They’re sold on Amazon if they ship to Colombia.)
