Editorial Review:

Treatment for plantar fasciitis
Ideal alternative to cumbersome night splints
Plantar FXT gently pulls back toes to stretch plantar fascia
Item is not returnable once used.
Very comfortable, low profile and easy to use

Finally a COMFORTABLE way to treat Plantar Fasciitis. Plantar Fasciitis is painful enough; the treatment shouldnt cause additional irritation. The Plantar FXT is the ideal alternative to cumbersome Night Splints. The Plantar FXT is easy to apply, low profile and comfortable to wear. The Plantar FXT pulls the toes back slightly and comfortably. This stretches the plantar fascia so it may heal. The Plantar FXT may also be worn during the day (while seated) to provide longer per day treatment times. This may help speed up the healing process for Plantar Fasciitis. The Plantar FXT has the added benefit of Thermoskins clinically proven heat therapy. Sized according to shoe size as follows: X-Small for Mens shoe sizes 3-5, Womens 4-6. Small for Mens shoe sizes 6-7, Womens 7-9. Medium for Mens shoe sizes 8-10, Womens 10-11. Large for Mens shoe sizes 11-12, Womens 12-13. X-Large for Mens shoe sizes 13-14, Womens 14 and over. XX-Large, for Mens size 15 and over.

NOT FOR ME

These things might work for some people if you have VERY narrow feet, but not for me. I wear a 9 1/2 D shoe so I bought a medium size pair and after trying for 5 nights I've given up. Oh Yea, for you non-believers, I DID FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!

There is absolutely no toe room and after 3 to 4 hours my toes were so sore from being mashed together that I had to take them off to get some sleep. Maybe if the adjustment (VELCRO) strap were attached to the sole of the thing instead of the top, it wouldn't try to pull to the middle and squash your toes.

And the sad thing is you won't know until you try to sleep with these on that they won't work then it's too late to return them.

Good idea, just poor design and very expensive for what you get. I really feel like it's just a case of another company taking advantage of people in need of relief.

If someone needs a pair, contact me and I will give them to you for the cost of postage as they are not doing me any good in a drawer.

Wanted to like it but....

Well I wanted to like it and really thought it might work and to be fair it may have worked if I wore it every night but it hurt to wear, was unconfortable, woke me up in the middle of the night in toe pain and was a little warm. I tried many different ways of making sure it was loose but it always slipped back tight onto my toes. My girlfriend wore them for her foot problems and within 2 months she said her pain had abated completed!

Not much stretch

A great idea, but just didn't work for me. #1-I did not get much stretch from it. The picture shows the toe really stretch, but since its made out of soft material, I got hardly any stretch from it. #2-I tend to flip in several positions during sleep (back, side and stomach), so it was extemely uncomfortable when I was sleeping on my stomach and I ended up taking it off. It works ok when I'm watching TV or relaxing reading a book, but not so great for sleeping - at least not for moi.

Don't waste your money!

I did not purchase this item from Amazon, and I paid $39.99 for it. I can tell you that while it "sounds" like a good idea, I found it to be completely useless. It was way too flimsy to work. The strap that "lifts" your toe, can't possibly pull back enough. The only thing that it did effectively was to cramp my toes so uncomfortably that it woke me up and I had to remove it. I had purchased the larger size option, so it wasn't a size issue on the toe squishing. Fortunately I ordered with from a very high end provider that offers 100% lifetime guarantee on all that they sell, so I can return it for a full refund. I see here that it is NOT returnable if used. Which is unfortunate because if you don't "use" it, you won't know that it doesn't work at all. Take my word for it, try one of the more solid boots as I am going to do.

Too tight in the toes

This product pulls your toes together so much so that I had to take it off half way through the first night. Of course, they don't accept returns, so it was a total loss.
