This night splint worked for me!

After suffering for 8 weeks with plantar fasciitis, having a cortisone injection, wearing a shoe insert, and ultrasound treatment, I decided to try the night splint after reading the reviews. What a difference it made - after three nights of wearing the splint, and doing the exercises in the 5-minute P/F solution book, my pain decreased by 80%. I ordered a size smaller as recommended and it was a great idea - expected to have difficulty sleeping with it on, but it is very lightweight and I had no trouble at all. I limited walking in it to nighttime bathroom trips. Was well worth the money!

not comfortable, and doesn't put the foot into 90 degree angle

I bought the smallest size and yet it is very loose inside and that makes the foot go into the relaxed position anyway. So, I don't think it will work. I see no relief yet. Also, the valcro part is bigger then the strep below it so it rubs on the skin and hurts, I had to cut it and make it more narrow.Since I cut it, now I can't return it, so for me, I think it was a waste of money. I do not recommend it to anyone. Hard to sleep with it too.

Good; however not great

The product works well; however, I would hope other boots work better. I don't feel it puts the foot at a 90 degree angle. I use the 5 degree pad PLUS about two inches of rolled-up material under my toes to get a good stretch. They are right that you shouldn't walk much in this boot - it's fairly flimsy. Walking would ruin it pretty fast. The boot is also a bit narrow at my ankle. I put additional material around my ankle bone to keep it from developing a painful pressure point. A decent choice overall; however, not totally satisfied.

This really works!

I suffer from Plantar Facistis occasionally. So when my heel started hurting, I knew what was coming.
I tried to do the stretching exercises before getting out of bed, but I still had pain upon arising. So I went online to Amazon to see what they had. I read the reviews and decided to try this.
Well, after a week I can say that this boot works! (I also use inserts and have been wearing better shoes as well.) But in the morning -- no pain upon walking.
Do pay attention to the comments about the sizes. It does run large. I wear a Woman's size 10 and ordered the medium. And even then it seems just a bit large.
It takes some time to get used to when sleeping, but hey, I can handle that better than the shots in the foot!
And, I don't take it off at night when I have to get up and so far it seems to be holding up quite nicely.

Good quality

This splint is of good quality and is fairly comfortable. The challenge is that doesn't really keep the best position for me. I do agree with some other reviewers that noted that the sizes run a bit large. I had intended on buying the size the company noted, but I did go down a size. In fact, I could have gone down two sizes. My foot does turn and slip in the boot. I solved this by adding a bit of padding. While I think this split is more comfortable than others, it doesn't really keep a good stretch for me. I have also tried the "toe-pullers" without success. My new plan is to use this splint, incorporate exercises and wear my custom orthotics. I believe a combination is the best solution.
