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

Edit 11/13/2019 - When I first wrote this review, it was after purchasing the splint, and the strap immediately broke. However, the company saw my review and said they had improved the design to be stronger, and sent me a replacement. They did sent me a replacement, and the strap didn't break immediately, but the thing is... I didn't need it any more. Thing is, my heel spurs are completely gone. I wore the broken, original splint with the strap hanging loose every night for about a month and a half. Very gradually my heel started to get better. The metal bar inside the splint seems to be enough. Unlike the outerdoo splint that I also bought, the bar never broke through the cloth to poke at my leg. Also it was much more comfortable than the big bulky padded splint I also had (can't think of the name, but it is grey and wears like a boot). So I'm not sure the strap is even necessary. Anyway if the strap does break for you, *do not* try using rivets as I did. The cloth just tears around them and now the dangling strap has rivets in it. Original review: The strap that pulls your toes towards your knee broke as I was trying to bend my foot to a 90 degree angle. The fabric that goes around the ball of your foot is very cushiony and has a lot of give so I was using the strap to compensate (its purpose, I assume). But the velcro piece at the end of the strap is just glued on or something and it snapped then I used it to pull. I'm going to try using a rivet or the like to attach it back tomorrow. I still give this 3 stars because even without the strap it is better than the Outerdoo splint I was using earlier, which has less padding and jabs the top of your foot with the metal bar inside.

This brace just barely fits, and is at the outside limits of all the straps. So there will be bigger men that this will not work for. I have foot drop from a leg injury. This helps me to keep my ankle from hurting by being unsupported. It cannot do a right angle even with the metal piece inside bent to it's maximum. There is give because the straps are at their outside max. I don't see how this would give enough of a stretch of an actual 90 degree pull to help with plantar fasciitis for instance. A small person or a woman perhaps. For my situation it is good enough, light and comfortable. It is inexpensive enough that if the velcro gives from being at the outside limits after maybe a year, that would not be too bad and worth replacing. But the company that makes this would be better to make an extra large size model, perhaps 50% more capacity at least.

Have them on currently, not bad. Hoping to see some progress I am about to turn 20… and got diagnosed with arthritis, plantar fasciitis, and heel spurs last week. I’ve bought lots of things to try so I’m hoping I out these on right and they work. Sadly enough though I am missing the ball that is supposed to come with. I was actually pretty excited to use that after I take them off and in the mornings to help stretch out some stiffness. That’s one of the reasons I bought these ones so kinda sad!

After one month of use I have to say this brace is amazing. I have read many reviews about the level of pain that people were going through because of their plantar fasciitis. I would have to say from one to ten mine was somewhere around an eight or nine. When waking up in the morning it literally felt like stepping on the bottom of a broken soda bottle. I was ready to start using a cane in the morning until the tendon start to loosen up. It hurts really bad in the morning when you wake up until it loosens up. Day one through three I wasn’t quite sure if it was doing anything. By day four I was certain it was getting better. By day seven it was at least 25% better. By day 14 it was at least 50% better. And now that we are on day 30, it is almost 90% better. The healing has slowed down a little over the last week but I truly feel over the next 2 to 3 weeks it will be completely healed. I will write another review in 2 to 3 weeks. If you’re like me and you’re starting to really worry if you need to go to the doctor and potentially get surgery, take the gamble try this brace. I thought in my opinion, there was a 90% chance I was going to need surgery based on the pain level. I was wrong, as of right now if it did not get any better I would be completely fine. Update: I forgot to write a full up. My foot was completely back to normal at around 45 day and it had been perfect ever since. I am healed😊.

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.

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.

I’ve only used this for a couple of nights, but it really seems to help. It’s very comfortable and easy to put on. I have flat feet, which stresses the ankle and calf muscles. I’ve used medications, heat pads, stretching, massage, but at night I sometimes had cramps in the calf and locking up of the ankle. This splint keeps my ankle in the correct position, my calf feels more relaxed, and in the morning my leg feels much better. I’m amazed at the relief from pain. Edit to update: I’m still using this every night, and I have had NO pain in my leg. What a relief! Easy to slip on, and stays on all night. The toe straps do not need to be loosened to put on or take off, just the calf strap. Update 6/23 yes the Velcro will sometimes unstick, or gets clogged, or stops sticking. I added another piece of Velcro, and pick out any fibers, hair, lint, whatever. I plan to add a strap to make the Velcro more secure. But I’ve used this every night for more than 2 years and I believe it helped a lot.
