AZMED Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint & Support, Adjustable Orthotic Foot Drop Brace for Achilles Tendonitis and Heel Spur Relief, Black

The braces are great, they keep my feet in a better position at night so I have less tendon pain in the morning. I like the shape and material that allows me to move while asleep without waking me or getting tangled in the sheets. There are a few things I don't like. First, they are sold as a pair but the velcro is the same for left and right. So, it's comfortable to put the left brace on but difficult to get the right brace on and off. Because you are immobilizeing the ankle, you need the braces tight, thus my feet loose feeling due to blood flow restriction. I also get intense pain, this will go away with time I hope but it is something that you should be aware of. Overall they are good braces and they reduce my pain walking, I have plantar fasciitis and pain in the achilles tendon.

Works great! It does what I expected! I’m sure over time the Velcro will loosen up.

I was skeptical getting this. I work on my feet on a concrete floor. I've had quite some sharp burning heel pain for weeks. Excruciating. I got new boots made for arch support and insoles specially for plantar sorry and they maybe took some edge offididn't think this song would do much more but I'm willing to try anything at this point. I wore it for 4 hours before bed to get used to it and it was uncomfortable at first but I was more used to it by bedtime. Enough to fall asleep. The next morning I woke up and as usual very cautiously put weight on my feet getting out if bed and the pain was noticeably much less. I'm halfway through my shift now and the pain hadn't increased much from that. I'm thrilled, really thrilled and completely confident in my purchase and leaving a review which I never do. I have large (male 13 us extra wide) feet and was very skeptical it would fit but it fits fine I'm near the end of the adjustment but it's enough. The metal rod is bendable and easily adjustable to a comfortable angle with a lot of room to increase it as I get used to it and need more.and I received an email from the company within hours offering me 20% off another one which I don't need at this time but still was impressive at the speed and quality of service

The steel plate that runs vertically down the brace doesn't flex at all, so it's not good if it's necessary to walk anywhere in the night.

I recently tried out this foot brace with mixed feelings. While it has some positive aspects, there are a few key issues that prevent me from fully endorsing it. I found it to be an average product with room for improvement. One of the main drawbacks of this foot brace is its inability to hold the foot at a 90-degree angle consistently, which is crucial for maintaining a stretched position for the plantar throughout the night. Despite the presence of a metal form, it fails to effectively prevent the foot from flopping. This compromises its intended purpose and leaves much to be desired in terms of support. On the positive side, I found the foot brace to be lightweight and soft, making it comfortable to wear. It is also relatively easy to put on, contrary to some negative reviews I came across. The user-friendly design allows for hassle-free application, which is appreciated, especially for individuals with limited mobility or dexterity. Although this foot brace has its shortcomings, I see potential in it. If changes were made to the shape to enhance its ability to hold the foot at a 90-degree angle consistently and prevent flopping, it would greatly improve its overall effectiveness. In conclusion, while the foot brace offers some positive aspects such as being lightweight, soft, and easy to put on, it falls short in terms of its primary function of maintaining a 90-degree angle for the foot and preventing flopping. With modifications to its shape, this product has the potential to be a reliable option. For now, however, I remain cautiously optimistic and would consider purchasing it again if improvements were implemented. Disclaimer: Please note that individual experiences may vary.

Really help also keeps foot and leg cramps away.

Like many, I've been dealing with unbelievable pain from plantar fasciitis and seeing a foot doctor, acupuncturist and a physical therapist. I ordered several of these boots online and tried three. This was the only one I could sleep with. The instructions were not that great, and to be honest, I still don't know exactly how you bend the aluminum to add more flex (although I tried to do this and seems to have worked). But two nights in, my pain is down 80-90%. And I didn't wear it the whole night during night one. Simply put: this works, it is light weight and I can turn over in my sleep even though I'm a light sleeper and it doesn't wake me. I walk to the bathroom with it but it isn't easy to do that. There is no way I could sleep in a big boot at all so I'm very grateful for this lighter version. Highly recommend -- five stars! And if anyone knows how to bend the aluminum, I'd love to know. Thanks to others here who photographed and showed how to put it on.

Finally getting some relief from a sprained ankle from keeping stable as I sleep

I have been in agony with plantar fasciitis for about 6 months. It has just been getting progressively worse until I could barely walk. I tried hot and cold therapy, resting, massage, went to Dr. after 3 months got steroid injection in 1 foot and nothing helped. Bought inserts for shoes, changed footwear tried EVERYTHING but nothing helped! Putting on weight as could not exercise or walk. I was very miserable :-(. Tried a different splint for nighttime was really uncomfortable. Then I discovered this!!! It's been amazing and really helped. I bought one at first and used it on one my right foot at night time. Over time (about 1 week) there was a huge improvement in my right foot. I bought a 2nd one and use them both at night and the pain has got less and less with every day. When I had a day off I would wear them during the day as well. I'm almost good now and can walk without feeling like I have hot knives poking my feel. They work by keeping your foot at a right angle while you sleep therefore stretching the affected tendon while you rest. At night it is comfortable to wear them over thin socks. During the day I wear them over a couple of pairs of thick padded sleep socks. It's hard to walk about with the splints on both feet but so worth it for the relief. Buy them - don't delay and end your suffering!

It works ok but wear a padded sock under it because the metal insert is not padded enough and digs into your foot and shin

Did not work for me.

the metal bar that goes cross from the front to back or the opposite kept moving and digging into my foot.
