Vive Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Plus Trigger Point Stretch Wedges - Soft Leg Brace Support, Orthopedic Sleeping Immobilizer Stretch Boot (Small: Men's: Up to 5, Women's: Up to 6.5)

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'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.

This product really does help recovery from plantar fasciitis (PF)! Some people have PF for 6 weeks, others for a year or more. I fell into the latter category. I was stubborn about wearing a night splint because it seemed hideous looking. After 7 months of chronic daily pain I finally tried wearing a night splint. The first one I tried was the Ace brand night splint and it was horrible- extremely uncomfortable/painful on the foot and I couldn't tolerate it for more than an hour. I also tried Strassburg sock - expensive and uncomfortable. Then I tried this by Vive and it was wonderful! It's comfortable to wear all night long and doesn't seem "hot" like other reviewers said. The brace is very cushioned and once it's on, you don't even notice it. It provided IMMEDIATE morning relief the very first time I wore it! Those "first steps" out of bed in the morning felt magically improved. A stubborn case of PF doesn't cure overnight, so the afternoon pain after working on my feet did remain for a while. But within a month or so using this boot regularly my PF overall is finally getting better. I WISH I WOULD HAVE TRIED THIS PRODUCT SOONER and maybe I wouldn't have had such a persistent case of PF. How it works (based on my experience): without a night splint, the microtears in the plantar fascia of the foot heal while sleeping but the foot naturally drops forward (plantar flexion position) in bed, therby shortening the muscle. As getting out of bed and putting weight on the foot, the muscle gets stretched and everything that healed overnight tears again; day after day, week after week. But using the splint kept my foot in dorsiflexion position (foot/ankle upwards, calf flexed) and the muscle healed in an elongated position and therefore did not tear upon standing in the morning. It also helped me to do some GENTLE stretching/loosening up before getting out of bed and doing CALF STRETCHES throughout the day/before bed at night. Final notes: the boot seems to run a little large. I kept the size they recommended but if my foot was smaller, I would have sized down.

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
