Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Drop Foot Orthotic Brace, Adjustable Plantar Fasciitis Brace, Improved Dorsal for Effective Relief from Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, Ankle Pain

The ability to adjust is easy and gives pain relief fast. The support feels amazing and the ease of use is ok. It is a little tricky. It’s also a little annoying to try to sleep in at night it’s not bulky but just awkward and after I fall asleep I wake up in the night having to rip them off. I would suggest wearing whenever resting feet instead of at night unless you can get used to it.

This product worked for my plantar fasciitis. It was a little difficult to figure out how to use at first but once I figured it out it worked great and healed my persistent PF in about a week only wearing it a few hours a day. I have found the best way to put this thing on is opposite what the instructions say. Fasten it snuggly but not overly tight around your toes so those are lined up correctly. Your toes should be sticking out and the strap wrapped around the ball of your foot. Then flex your foot toward your calf and fasten that. I had to bend the metal bar to a deeper angle than it came but that was easy to do and held up for a few days of stretching before bending back again and I would have to adjust. At the start, I didn't think the stretch was as deep as it should be but after wearing it the first time my foot started aching in that way that you know you are getting a good deep stretch. By the end of the week, my foot no longer ached while in the device but my pain when walking had completely disappeared as well. This device is a little less bulky than the boot style braces which is why I chose it and the padding makes it very comfortable. My toes inevitably feel asleep after a couple hours of wearing it but when that that happened I would just take it off and put it on again later in the day or the next day. This is a great budget option for people looking to try to help their foot pain before having to see an expensive specialist. It definitely worked for me!

I bought this after my hard boot for plantar fasciitis failed. I was excited to get something less cumbersome and perhaps easier to walk in for the night-time toilet trips. It's very comfortable and easy to walk in. Two problems: 1. The strap that comes down from the ankle to the toe is too long. This strap, along with the metal insert, set the foot angle. Slowly increasing this angle over a period of weeks can really help with the plantar fasciitis. So either the strap needs to be shorter or the velcro on the end needs to be longer. I fixed it in 5 minutes on my spouse's sewing machine. Now I can get my foot pulled back further. 2. The velcro on the ankle strap isn't proper velcro. It routinely comes loose. When that happens, you get zero benefit. Again, I fixed this by sewing proper velcro on the ankle strap. I really wanted to give a better review, as I no longer sound and look like Frankenstein when I'm plodding to the bathroom at 1 am. Just a couple of tweaks and it's almost perfect.

I ordered this product after not a ton of research, but thanks to some helpful reviews and am happy to say it has helped me in a short amount of time. The bottom of my foot all of a sudden developed this sharp pain when I took a stride - from the arch to the tops and bottom of my toes. It happened suddenly, and was excruciating. I bought this and not only does the brace work, but that little massage ball included did wonders. I found my foot is improving by keeping it at a 90 degree angle to my calf. This is after about 10 days. Maintaining that position is the key benefit of this brace. It is best for resting or sleeping, but when my foot hurt most it actually helped when I was just slowly walking around inside with it on. I will say the trick for me is to not make it too tight or extreme. Really just keeping the foot at 90 degrees comfortably, not trying to overstretch it. Great product. Probably the main thing improving my foot besides icing it, rolling it on the ball it comes with, and trying to stay off it as much as possible.

Flawed design to say the least and will likely cause additional pain as it did me. I wanted to give it a try rather than using the bulky boot type supports. Not only was it ineffective because the flawed design, it caused new pain at the top of my foot. The idea is to have your toes pointed slightly upward toward your body to stretch the foot. Instead of the hard part (metal support) being at the bottom of your foot like other braces for this purpose, this was designed with the metal top of the foot with only fabric wrapping around the bottom of the foot. The fabric stretches so the top of the foot never really comes forward which is what is needed but even worse, with your foot not able to point upward toward your body the metal support digs into the top of your foot. Not only does this NOT help the bottom of the foot, it causes more pain at the top of the foot (the boney part). If you want something that effectively works, get the boot type support with the hard bottom that goes from your toes, around. your heels and up the back of the calf with straps on top of your foot and the front of your leg. I've had issues with heel spurs on and off for years.... the boot type with hard bottom and straps on top of the foot is the only effective design. I'm not saying the boot type with the hard bottom will be comfortable to sleep with but it will certainly be more effective than this very flawed useless thing. Don't waste a dime on this one.

Too small, barely fits my foot. And, the strap to hold the foot at the proper angle is too long, I can't get it to pull my foot up enough. There is only a little piece of velcro at the bottom of the strap, not enough to trim for a better pull on the foot.
