Not strong enough

by SoggyB

in Georgia on 10/18/09

Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Use

Cons: Provides Little Support, Slides down

Describe Yourself: Occasional Exerciser

Best Uses: When you sleep

Bottom Line: not recommended

Does not provide enough resistance to keep my foot at the corrected angle when sleeping. My foot forces the whole support to shift downwards.

Pros: Easy To Use, Effective

I wear them at night and they allow me to gt right out of bed without pain. I am hoping at some point I won't have to wear them anymore.

Another tool to treat Plantar Fasciitis

by Mike

in Exton, PA on 7/28/09

Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Use

Cons: Limited support

Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser

Best Uses: Overnight brace

Bottom Line: recommended

Use it at night as another tool to treat plantar fasciitis. Helps keep the calf stretched overnight (although a minimum stretch). The first step out of bed in the morning is much less painful since useing this brace. Does not replace the more important stretching during the day and using good insert supports. but is another tool to treat plantar fasciitis.

Not nearly as good as orthopedic braces

by C.R.

in Plano, TX on 7/15/09

Pros: Straps feel good

Cons: Painfully exposes heel, Painfully exposes toes, Provides Little Support

Best Uses: Easer to pack than braces, Travel friendly

Bottom Line: not recommended

If you shop at a medical supply store, for $75 and up you can find orthopedic plantar fasciaitis braces for sleeping in that both protect and secure the sore heel from pressures of resting on mattress and prevent the covers from weighing down onto toes. I have two of these orthopedic braces, different types, and when my p.f. acts up, wearing either at night for a few consecutive nights settles down the soreness in my heel. BUT these orthopedic braces are huge - way too bulky to pack and bring on an airplane. This much smaller brace will easily fit in a suitcase, but is not anywhere near as protective of a sore heel or toes that stick up in bed. It does comfortably pull the heel/ankle to keep foot from extending. It aids p.f. - but if you need true healing of sore heels, it's not good enough!

Way better than prescription!

by Shawn

Pros: Comfortable, Easy To Use, Effective, Stabilizes

Describe Yourself: Frequent Exerciser

Best Uses: Daily Use, Extra Support

Bottom Line: recommended

I used to be a competitive athele until I damaged my back. The pain has hindered my ability to work out as regularly and strenuously as I used to. I suppose the weakening of my muscles is what caused me to get plantar fasiciitis. It was incredibly painful and I was prescribed a night brace from the orthopedics dept. I had already ordered this one but it had not come in the mail yet. The one from the orthotics dept SUCKED. It braced your leg underneath, which would make the bottom of your foot really hot and sweaty and the straps over the top of your leg would dig in during the night if you moved. Suffice to say it did nothing to help the situation. I wore the "prescribed" brace for a little over a month. When I got this one it worked almost immediately... of course I also got custom shoe orthotics a couple days later too. The combination of a brace that worked and my custom orthotics made my plantar fasciitis go way within 5-6 days! It was like I've never had it! Trust me this one works and is good if you have big calves too btw, mine are larger than average from when I fought competively.

The velcro wears out very fast. I've only had this a few weeks and the velcro is wearing out already and comes undone during the night.

Not enough support slips off

Not enough support. Slips off.

This does help with the ...

This does help with the pain of a heel spur. It's lightweight and that is nice. A disadvantage is it doesn't maintain the angle of the ankle as well over time. It seems to stretch out some. I will continue to use it and would recommend it as an inexpensive splint.
