Brace Direct Padded Night Splint 90 Degree Immobilizing Stretching Sleeping Boot - Recovery for Plantar Fasciitis, Drop Foot, Achilles Inflammation, Heel Spurs and more

Works great , BUT be careful on sizing , Small fits up to size 10

I had high hopes for this brace because it’s so well‑reviewed, but it just wasn’t the right fit for my ankle. The main issue for me is the design: the back support doesn’t wrap around the sides of the ankle enough to keep it stable. Because of that, I never felt fully secured at night, and I was too concerned about my ankle shifting to sleep comfortably.I can see why it works well for others, but for my needs — especially post‑surgery — it didn’t give the level of support or side‑to‑side stability I was looking for.

After trying one boot that I returned (not comfortable to sleep in), I purchased the Brace Direct Padded Night Splint 90 Degree Immobilizing Stretching Sleeping Boot. I ordered it on December 14 and received it December 20. 2023.I wore it for about 4 hours for 3 nights and noticed that each day my heel felt better. After 3 nights, I began wearing it all night. It does slip off during the night, but I just slip it back on if I wake up. I continued to see improvement and after about a week, I could get out of bed and walk normally. There was no pain. The fasciitis is not gone but I don't look like I'm 100 anymore!! I wear a women's size 6 shoe and ordered a small boot. I could possibly use an extra small (if they had that size), but I find this one comfortable and it has worked for me even though it slips off.The plastic part of the brace did break after 2 months (it was not abused in any way). I called Brace Direct and the girl was lovely. She was happy to hear of my success and disappointed that it broke. She said that is very, very unusual. The boot comes with a warranty and she said they would replace it. I received a prepaid mailing label (shortly after speaking with her) to return the broken boot which I am doing today. Once they receive the broken boot, they will send a new one.I highly recommend the boot for plantar fasciitis.

Was as described

This is a nice night splint. I first ordered the small as it indicated in the description that it would fit up to a ladies size 8.5. (I wear a 7-7.5 shoe). My toes hung over about 1/2 inch. (I honestly think it would fit only up to a 6.5 ladies foot even though the sizing slip that comes with the item says it fits a 7). I then ordered a size medium. That was a much better fit albeit a bit long. The small has a shorter calf piece as well as the shorter foot bed and the medium is longer/bigger in those same areas. I kept the medium and I like it. I’ve used it several nights now after receiving approval from my physician after leg, ankle and foot surgery. I’ve used the wedge that is included because it helps to keep my ankle at the optimum 90° angle. The splint overall does a good job holding my foot secure so it doesn’t move around at all while I sleep. If you are considering this item, please realize that if your foot is near the end range of measurements, order a size up. I’ve included the measurements that are sent with the item and those are far more accurate as a reference. I’ve also included pictures to help give a potential consumer a visual of the way it fits relative to a small and medium.
