BraceAbility Toe Walking Braces for Kids - Patented Pediatric Foot Supports To Prevent Tip Toe Walking, Cerebral Palsy Equipment, Autism, ADHD, Aspergers, Youth Neurological Disorders (L - Pair)

As many people have said it does not CURE toe walking, but drastically helps it. My son has made great strides with them. I do not put them in shoes, however, we just use them around the house. I feel like they may not fit in shoes or be comfortable, but I can't say I've tried. I imagine the Velcro will wear out over time and they are a bit pricey, but worth the money IMO.

Toe pad irritant is too short and kiddo easily compensates through the big toe and makes toe walking worse.

We just got this today and the foam/rubber patch on the bottom is already peeling and coming off at the seam. It’s a pity because the product works, our son stopped tiptoeing immediately and remained walking on flat feet for the rest of the day.

My 8yo is a toe walking autist who is already showing signs of Achilles tightening. We do stretches and all of that, but 20 minutes of stretching everyday is not enough to combat 14 hours of toe walking. He wears a size 1 shoe and the medium *barely* fits, so if you're on the cusp of the size ranges, go up one. That said, THIS WORKS! He immediately puts his heels down to avoid the sensation. The flipside is that he chooses to sit down pretty soon, too, so it'll take time to get him accustomed to wearing them for more than a few minutes at a time. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with that. Again, he's 8yo, so this behavior has been around a while and will take time and patience to reverse. I hope buyers consider that when using: the longer they've been showing a behavior (toe walking), the more time and effort it will take to eliminate. I would suggest pairing these with a behavior modification program at home, something simple like a reward for every 5 minutes wearing them (then 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20, etc) until the reward isn't needed anymore. I promise every caregiver reading this can do this with a little bit of research. I would suggest focusing more on rewarding the wanted behavior as this tends to give better results overall. Also, many kids on the ASD spectrum don't understand consequences very well, but rewards work. Be patient, be consistent, and stay positive. (I am a trained therapist with a focus in behavior modification therapies. This advice is *not* to be construed as medical advice. As always, consult your trusted health professionals and use your best judgment. YOU are the expert in your kid and their greatest advocate, don't ever forget that.)

We have an oversized 6 yr old who toe walks regularly. We thought it was a phase early on and never tried correcting it until it was a well-established habit. After a year of trying verbal reminders, shoe inserts, etc., I found these. At first, they seemed to prevent the toe walking, but the effectiveness seemed to wane after a short time. The velcro wears out quickly. The pad on the underside that contains a small plastic rod (that is meant to prevent the wearer's ability to put pressure on where it sits) splits open and the rods slides out within a week of regular use. They don't work under socks or in shoes; only when barefoot. If they had better longevity, I'd rate them more highly.

I’ll be honest, at first I was super skeptical, “how can a little strap stop toe walking”, but I went with it anyways hoping it would work. And… I’m.. WOW! My 3yo who is severely flat footed and has extreme toe walking has not used his toes all morning wearing these. There is a teeny tiny bar that sits under his 3 toes and it ever so slightly lifts the toes, forcing the heel down. As soon as they came off he was back to his toes. But I am VERY pleasantly surprised by how well these work!! For reference our boy is 3, and is wearing an XS perfectly.

Absolutely stopped my son from walking on his toes when he wears them. He only wears them at home. He is 4, and they fit him well. Not for use inside of shoes but comfortable when at home. Easy to put on and take off. I th I no the quality is good compared to another brand I purchased. It functionally does what its intended to do. So far has lasted and durable fabric and straps.

These were overpriced and sadly didn’t even begin to work, I bought this for my son a tip toer and I was happy to buy them until I saw that while wearing them, my son could still walk in his tip toes while braces were on. And they began to give him scabs on his feet from rubbing, they’re pretty expensive and you’re litterally gambling buying stuff like this but wish I hadn’t bought it.

While the product worked for my 6 year old boy, it lasted hardly 10 days. The straps and the stitches under the toe came off within a week's time. Expecting better quality for such a high priced item.

Works great for my teen! Good material and quality.

Did work out for my son , it might work for others

It did work. When my daughter would wear it should would walk and stand flat. What I didn't like is the strap that goes on the toes kept opening so I had to sew it close. Then the object that makes them uncomfortable to stand on their toes started coming through the fabric and one came out so I would need to buy another one. It's only been almost a month and they are tearing. I would buy it again because it does work but it doesn't seem right that every month I would have to buy more. I'll include a picture if I can.

I bought for my autistic child. After e read some reviews I dicide to buy. My child since 5 years old have physiotherapy had casting on both feet. But unfortunately this is not help him. Still the same walk 😔
