Medical AFO Foot Drop Brace Ankle Foot Orthosis - AFO Drop Foot Orthosis for Men & Women Stroke, MS, Hemiplegia Foot Drop, assist Walking Easier and Better (Medium, Left)

This is a sturdy AFO & works well to prevent foot drop.

It's too wide to fit in a shoe and the straps can't use cause it won't go in the shoe waste of money

My only problem was that the AFO didn’t fit any of my shoes. So increase a shoe size by a half size & make it a lace up shoe not a slid in. The padding on foot & calf make it much more comfortable than my older cheaper one. It’s a case where you get what you pay for.

Ok back story I recently lost all feeling and movement in my right leg below the knee down to my toes the hospital sent me home with 2 braces and they both where bad so I looked around on Amazon for a brace that will do the job of both braces and I found this one as soon as I got it in the mail I put it on I'm trying to prevent drop foot and also protect the bottom of my foot since I cant feel anything well 30 minutes after wearing this brace my pain was cuz in half if not more just from the support it provides so that's a big win to me walking in it is easy but I also use a walker because my pelvic bone is also fractured I also sleep in this brace because once you get drop foot there is no fixing it so I'm going to do my best to wear these braces to prevent getting drop foot so sleeping in this brace was comfortable way more then the hospital braces putting shoes on was a slightly difficult just because I have to take the brace off put it in my shoe then put the shoe and brace on together so that's kinda a pain since I cant feel anything in my foot so I'm not sure if the shoe is on all the way or not so thats a downside the other problem is all the straps holding this brace to your leg and foot are held together by velcro I've had the brace for just a couple of days and the velcro already fell off so I had to glue it back on hopefully that holds it because I cant go without a brace on 24/7 I would think something that is a medical device that we rely on to keep us standing and walking they would make it to hold together between those velcro pieces should be sawn on to make them stronger or come up with a different way to tighten things down some kinda buckle or something so this is why it got a 3 star vs a 5 there is a lot of great things to love about this brace its comfortable better then others it also helps with the pain which my guess is most of these that hold your foot in this position would do but the downfalls are enough to take some stars away parts should not be falling off after 2 days of wearing the brace if they can get the velcro issue fixed I'd buy this brace everytime the previous one got worn out I like it that much

If you have a weakness that an AFO might be helpful for this is a good less expensive way of determining. My 98 year old mom broke her ankle 2 years ago. She was forced into bed rest 2 years later. Her muscles weakened so she couldnt keep her ankle straight and it would roll over. This makes wearing it when she isnt standing very uncomfortable. If it wasnt a muscle imbalance it would be comfortable. So I am saying it depends on why you are wearing it as to if it is comfortable or not. Worth the try for the price.

Doesn’t look like the pics as advertised, straps look much cheaper. Does it’s job as an AFO brace but won’t fit in any shoe and I’m not looking to purchase any new pairs for a temporarily injured peroneal nerve which is why I’m stuck in an AFO. Not worth the price.

I have drop foot. My custom orthotic broke and I bought this to try in emergencies. It surprised me by how comfortable it was. It is not as sturdy as a custom, but it’s better than nothing! It doesn’t go too high on the leg, so if you need help with hypertension- be careful!

This is a lot nicer to wear than the simple plastic style I had before. So much so that I can just wear it all the time, instead of just when I'm standing.It doesn't fit so well in shoes (I'd suggest a plain plastic style for that), and putting it on is kind of elaborate. It'd be nice if the ankle strap were more permanently affixed too, I'm afraid I'll lose it at some point. But these are overall fairly minor quibbles.
