Vive Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Plus Trigger Point Stretch Wedges - Soft Leg Brace Support, Orthopedic Sleeping Immobilizer Stretch Boot (Medium: Men's: 5.5-8, Women's 7-9.5)

I purchased this to keep my ankle/foot stable at night post-surgery of my extensor tendon in my foot. I am required to wear an Aircast 24/7 but sleeping in it was becoming intolerable. This was exactly what I needed to immobilize my foot, keep it in position and be comfortable. The frame keeps my foot at a 90 degree angle as an Aircast and the materials that touch my foo and leg are super soft, cushiony and comfortable. It weighs so much less than the Aircast and I can finally sleep more comfortably. The ankle/middle strap is a little short, so if you have thicker ankles, it could be a challenge to get it all the way around. Additionally, I have a history of plantar fasciitis and have ruptured that too, so this will likely come in handy again in my future.

I've had plantar fasciitis twice in my life and both times what really fixed it was sleeping in one of these boots for 6-8 weeks. I know that sounds like a long time, but I grimaced and ached and complained for much longer before getting the boot. Personally, I prefer a boot with the rigid portion along the bottom of the foot and back of the leg (like this boot). I found the boots that are rigid along the top of the foot and front of the leg (most of what I see on Amazon) did not hold my foot as secure as it allowed my heel to swing side to side.. My original boot from the first time I had plantar fasciitis (25 years ago) became like a child's wobbie and I wore until all the fabric rubbed off. It just felt comforting at night and I had a longstanding dread of the plantar fasciitis coming back. This reviewed boot was my second boot. It fixed the problem, but I found it much more bulky (hence the 4 stars) than my original boot (no longer available). Still it did the trick for me and I only wore it about 6 weeks. All that said, I'm not a doctor and your circumstance may require a different approach. But for me, this type of boot did the trick twice with 23 years in between and over a year since my last bout.

The boots work. It helped a great deal the first night. I highly recommend these boot. Easy on & off. They are comfortable and easy to use. Only one problem is you have to run to the bathroom in the middle of the night it takes a little but to get them off so wear a pad. But this is true with any of the boots. I have had others in the past but these are the best

i tried other PF night splints without luck (in terms of were they comfortable enough for me to actually get to sleep wearing them, and did they make any difference in my PF morning pain). there are a huge number of PF night splints on the market here at amazon, and i ended up asking my podiatrist for his reccommendation and he suggested this one, and it has been the best so far (have tried 3 or 4). this one is light and soft, comfy enough to sleep in once you figure out how to rest your foot in the bed. my one complaint is that the strip that goes around the top of the foot has velcro only on one side, so that it is expected that it will stick to just the felt on the other side (without the actual velcro "holding" stuff there to cling to). this might be ok if you werent wearing this to sleep in, putting it under the covers, and possibly turning over. the felt is just not enough for the velcro to grab hold of and it can come undone in the bed if you move. so i had to go buy some velcro for another $7 just to add myself what IMO should've been put there by the manufacturers (and what is on the other 2 strips, so confused??) also, the velcro that is on the top portion of the toe strip goes right to the ends of the strip so that if you're not wearing a sock, your toes or foot get scratched all night long by the part that sticks out. the boot itself causes me to be a little hotter in the night, so i don;t want to wear a sock (which would solve the rubbing velcro problem), so i just take a sock and put it under the strip, like a soft piece of fabric against my foot. on the up side, ive been wearing this every night for a month and my PF morning pain was immediately better, so it works with just a little tweak.

Hält den Fuß in einer Stellung um die Sehne permanent zu strecken, am Anfang etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber nach einigen Tagen ist es Ok Auch das Laufen am Tag wird immer besser. Bei mir war der Igelball dabei.

These are very comfortable to wear and definitely do what they are supposed to do: relieve plantar fasciitis pain. Getting out of bed in the morning without having to worry whether I could actually walk or not is simply priceless. Just make sure to use it for a while to help in the long run, even though you will literally feel almost 100% after one night's use.

Omg this is perfect product I have to wear a cast for 3 months but it constant rubs causing sore and you have to wear a shoe that dosent fit and when standing always in the middle of the night too or I would slip on the cast I have a dropped arch and just had my ankle joint removed The consultant has decided not to repair the dropped arch But found this product amazing The heel is so spongy it bounces the heel back up so no pressure on my painful heel too There are wedges to place taking pressure off the arch amazing It also fits a good size leg as mine has swollen due to operation having my foot with a fixater too Wish I had found this earlier I’m going to wear it all the time now

Das ist jetzt meine dritte Schiene die ich ausprobiere, und bisher die beste. Beim ersten Teil waren nach weniger als zwei Wochen die Klettverschlüsse ausgeleiert und blieben nicht mehr zu. Der zweite Versuch war so eine Art Neoprensocke, in der ich überhaupt keinen Halt hatte, und damit war sie wirkungslos. Mit dieser Schiene komme ich jetzt ganz gut zurecht. Sie hält den Fuß in Position, die Klettverschlüsse sind stabil. Und dafür das sie so klobig aussieht ist sie erstaunlich leicht und bequem, nach kurzer Gewöhnungsphase stört sie mich nicht mehr beim Schlafen. Und das Wichtigste: Die Schmerzen im Fuß nach dem Aufstehen sind deutlich reduziert. Die Größe ist eigentlich der einzige Nachteil, für den Urlaub muss ich mir noch was anderes überlegen…

Incómodo para usar a la hora de dormir; pero mientras estás recostado es muy útil
