Dosh AFO Foot Drop Brace - Drop Foot Brace for Walking - AFO - Unisex (Black)

It is difficult to adjust it properly

I wore it only once and I went to the gym and I didn’t even walk much. I was on the rowing machine but it broke! So now I’m going home without an AFO which is really unsafe to walk around without one!

This works well for my husband, who has a foot drop due to a stroke, and I will be getting a second piece. A conventional AFO did not work - it was too rigid and difficult to walk in. This does the job without the stiff, uncomfortable plate that goes all the way up the calf. We wear this with Keen Newport shoes, and have this looped round the elastic laces.

I bought this brace to combat my drop foot and it does just that. It is easy to put on as the brace just wraps securely around the ankle and not the foot, so there is no bulk in my shoe which would be uncomfortable. The buckle attaches to my shoe laces and is not hard to manipulate with my arthritic hands. No one can tell I’m wearing the brace when I wear black socks and running shoes. I also have the beige colour brace but did not like the colour of the plastic buckle as it does not match the colour of the brace. I thought it would be better in the summer with shorts on vs. long pants. I prefer the black.

I purchased one of these almost a year ago. This brace was one of 5 different braces I purchased designed to help with foot drop, and the Dosh brace turned out to be the most effective and most comfortable of them all! Needless to say, after wearing this support for 11 months, it was getting kind of worn, so I bought a new one. I noticed little 'improvements' that actually made this support brace even more effective and more comfortable. It was refreshing that the new brace was even better than the one I bought last year! A pleasant and uncommon surprise. Having to deal with foot drop makes walking difficult, as anyone who has it can affirm. This particular brace makes functioning with foot drop a bit easier. Thank you to the makers of this well made, comfortable and useful product.
