Alpha Medical Plantar Fascitis Night Splint Heel & Foot Pain; P.F. Brace L4398 (Small {Men's shoe size less than 7 / Women's shoe size less than 7.5})

This works very well for my husband's plantar fasciitis. After a few weeks of wearing the boot, he stopped experiencing heel pain. He wears a size 10 shoe in men's, and the medium boot was the right fit for him. We've recommended this product to several other people.

I had heel pain for over a year. stretching doesnt help much. Bought a cheap foot stretching kit to wear at night, the one that has no bottom support, and lift your foot from the front of the foot(toes), very uncomfortable and didn't work at all. decided to give this brace a try since its inexpensive. I've worn it for less than a week, and my heel pain is almost gone. Maybe because of the timing, but i deeply believe it's the brace that helps save my foot ( and my life). I can land my foot on the floor without pain. I can go for a walk and do my usual workout now. I still try to stay away from zumba, will give it sometime until I'm 100% sure that my foot pain is gone. Because after having the pain for so long I can't belive it's gone! ha! So, this brace is very well made, good quality, light weight, easy adjustment, comfortable . Highly recommend give it a try if you suffering heel pain like me. I am so g;ad I bought it. And keep it even if your foot pain is gone, cause the heel pain might comes back over times. You can use it again once you feel the discomfort.

At last! I tried the fabric braces described as for Achilles tendinitis. None of them worked well for me. This one works exactly as it should! It is well made, sturdy, has little pillows to pad the straps that hold it in place. It holds my foot in place. I can hobble around in it if necessary. After using it for about half an hour for 4 or 5 days my tendonitis is much improved. After reading the other comments I purchased the small for my 8.5 size foot. It works fine but the medium, as recommended, would have been better.

I've worn a pair of these for about 18 years. One of my original pair broke, so had to buy a new one. The new one seems to be of lesser quality - though it still does the job. The main thing is that the lining is thinner and of a different material than my original. Fortunately, I was able to remove the lining of my broken one and use it on the new one. The second thing: The fasteners - clips - on the original are easier to unfasten than on the new one.

This really works in helping my plantar fascitis. I wear it every night. It is easy to put on and take off. It is possible to walk once it is on, but I wouldn't recommend walking until you take it off. If you have large legs, it might not fit. I wish the velcro was adjustable for larger legs.

UPDATE: After taking a closer look at the straps addressed below. I realized that there was additional room for adjustment of the two lower straps. After doing so, the fit was perfect. Added a 5th star. Just two nights use but very much like how lightweight this splint is. Pretty much as advertised. Would have been 5 stars were it not for the 3 straps tightening limit. I wear mens 13 but have somewhat narrow feet. I could not quite get the splint as snug a I would like. Close but another inch of the adjustable straps would be perfect. I may figure a way to address this since otherwise, I like this product.

Hang in there! I was ready to return this in about 5 minutes, but found some great advice online. Before first use, practice putting it on, and adjust the straps when you are not half asleep. It feels awkward, bulky, uncomfortable. It fees like it is hurting more than helping at first, at least it did for me. Do not put on at 9pm when you are ready for bed, you will tear it off and not be able to fall asleep, and get frustrated. If you can wear for a few hours before wake up time, that is better than nothing. As I am 50+ I get up several times in the night to use the bathroom. The first night I put it on at 3am, and got up at 6am. I was so tired, I didn't know I had it on, and fell right back to sleep. The second night, I put it on at 12 am, and got up at 6am. You can't put this on NIGHT ONE and expect to be comfortable and sleep like a baby for 8 hours. It feels like a torture device, however, after several nights my excruciating morning foot pain has gone away!! Several hours towards wake up time is better than nothing. Wear a sock, and put a pillow under your leg. You won't be sorry.

I bought this night splint hoping that it would be a lighter and less bulky alternative to the walking boot that I have been using following foot surgery. While it is definitely lighter and less bulky, it is a total fail in all other regards. The design misses the most basic aspects of biomechanics, and it clearly did not go through any beta-testing with real users. The straps are designed to fit specific foot/leg profile only and cannot be either lengthened or shortened by more than an inch due to the placement of the velcro on the boot and the impossibility of getting the other end of the velcro through the belt buckle. This, in my case, leaves the straps loose and my foot and leg able to move, defeating the purpose of the splint. My heel continually rises from the bottom of the splint, causing the plantar flexion that the splint should prevent. The straps also place pressure on exactly the wrong place on the top of my midfoot, causing pain over the surgery site where bone fusion is ongoing. Finally, as other reviewers have mentioned, the placement of the strap buckles on the outside of the foot/ankle (when used on the R foot) requires that the user be a contortionist to get them buckled and unbuckled. A pre-market trial of this product with actual users would have identified this as a major problem and should have led to the realization that a simple pull-through adjustable velcro strap (like the one on walking boots) would have been a better design for a boot intended for use on either foot. I am returning the product and will continue wearing my walking boot at night.

Very sturdy, effective night splint - in my case for Plantar Fasciitis and associated ankle strain. It is much more substantial than the other splints I have used (various toe to shin straps and bendable front of shin/ankle aluminum brace). It is a bit of work to get it adjusted, but once there it has three easy clips to take it on and off so easy thereafter. It is not a sock like many of these splints, but rather a hard plastic back of foot/ankle/shin support so it might be tough on sheets (I saw no issue, but was wary of this point). The included velcro wedge is really handy as it does push up the front of the foot about another 3/4 inch, keeping tension on the under-foot tendons, as it should. After just a few days I noticed significant improvement in my foot and was able to put it aside (until the next time). The only note for buyers I would suggest is that unlike so many things on Amazon, this item actually fits LARGER than you will expect. I have a size 11 foot, but found the largest size too large (I couldn't fully tighten the straps), so returned it and got the next size down - that works really well.
