This splint works! Upgraded version is fantastic!!
These are an upgraded version from the same distributor. I had purchased 2 of the older version a year ago (for my plantar fasciitis and achielles tendonitis) - and the night braces fixed the problems! But, after not wearing and not taking proper care of me feet (meaning I wasn't wearing supportive shoes), my issues came back. The velcro on my old ones was giving out, and saw the upgraded design, so decided to try!!I'm glad I did! After just a couple nights of wearing these, my pain is significantly reduced! Plus, they're more comfortable with the newly added foam pad and wider straps.Note that there's an adjustable metal piece in these that you need to make sure fits your foot! Otherwise, the bend can push against the tender top part of your foot and cause a different pain. When adjusted properly (easy to do), they are perfectly comfortable.These work!

too uncomfortable to use
I used this product for one night and it was so uncomfortable (and hello, why no instructions? Its not as simple as it looks to apply it) that I had to rip it off in the middle of the night. Frankly my foot did feel so much better the next day even after just a few hours of use, but I just couldn't tolerate it. I live in a hot climate and it was just too constricting and applied pressure and did not really maintain the foot at 90 degrees.

Relief from achilles tendonitis
Helps promote healing of the achilles tendon. I haven't been sore in the morning and better throughout the day. PT had me buy one of these after wearing a fracture boot. The boot got rid of the pain but as soon as I stoped using the boot the pain came back. This seems to help it heal and appears to be a good device to allow me to stay out of the boot.

It's been working for me.
I have worn this brace to bed for several months now. The intense pain in my heel went away after several days of wearing the brace and doing heel and calf stretching exercises.I continue to wear the brace because I still have some soreness in my heel.I have had to wash it several times and it washed well.

Complicated and uncomfortable
I didn't manage to use them at all- after wrapping it around my foot I just wanted to get it off- can't imagine sleeping in it- and of course you only get one for the price.

Hurts!
Got this product as a smaller traveling version of the "moon boots" I got from the physical therapist. I wore these once. The plastic on the front is so rigid, it bruised the bone on my foot. I am still feeling the effects of this 2 weeks after wearing it. The other foot couldn't tolerate it at all and it came off that one right away.

Directions Should Be Included
It took a while to figure out how this splint worked and the first time I used it, I had it too tight - which did me no good. I loosened it up the next time and that worked better. Directions would have helped.

Not sure if it really helped
Not sure if this really helped. It did keep my ankle at a right angle to my leg but plantar did not improve until I got a good pair of shoes and started wearing a compression sock. Got a shot about three weeks ago. Not sure how tight to make it. At times I started feeling skin irritation so I had to take it off.
