I had a boot that was a bit large for me, and wasn't doing anything to improve my condition.I bought the small size. This works so much better and feels comfortable enough for me to sleep in. It is easy to adjust and form to your foot. I do not have the immediate pain in my heel anymore that I had when first waking up.Make sure you get the right size for yourself!

I just got it but I can already tell it will be much more effective than the slightly cheaper Velcro and cloth versions. This is comfortable, easy to take off and put back on, and most importantly for my PF, keeps your foot in the correct position the entire time you have it on. I had another one that was impossible to get right, was uncomfortable, and became loose and ineffective within an hour of wear, if you have bought one of those, return it and get this!

The company was diligent in their follow up emails. They emailed when the item was purchased, stating that it was 1 of 3 emails that they'll be sending. #2 email came after it was shipped. #3 email came after it was delivered - all of them thanked me for purchasing the night splint and assured me that they are there to help with any questions or problems.I am happy with this Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint. It is easy to use, it is comfortable & doesn't get caught on the sheets when sleeping with it on. Time will tell if it helps to heal my plantar fasciitis, as I am also doing everything else to help this heal (stretching, massaging, heating, icing, resting, keeping weight off it).Thank you for your support, YalcnStore!

This splint takes some getting used to, but it has been extremely helpful in reducing my PF pain.ADJUSTING THE FIT IS VERY IMPORTANT!!! See below. I can’t say it ended up being super comfortable, but it has become tolerable to a point that I can wear it long enough to reduce my heel pain. I wear a women’s 8.5 shoe and I purchased a size medium.I fractured my calcaneus a few months ago for the second time (first time was 4 years ago) and after being in a boot for 6 weeks this past May/June, I developed plantar fasciitis in the months following. It had gotten to the point where my first step of the morning, or after any amount of time sitting, I had excruciating pain in my heel. It brought me to tears a few times. I spoke to my ortho again and I was just advised to get expensive custom orthotics and “stretch my foot” before getting out of bed in the morning (already doing that!).Over a month’s time I wasted a lot of money on different things and none of these helped at all:-straussburg sock-Neoprene “boot” with strap from toe to another strap that fastened around the top of my calf to keep foot flexed (extremely uncomfortable, caused my big toe to go numb after 10-15min of use, did not keep my foot flexed enough)-Night splint that goes on the top of the ankle and foot to keep foot flexed (difficult to put on, did not keep foot flexed enough, painful for the top of my foot)-PF compression socks (did nothing but make my toes puff up!)-compression band fitting around the arch of my foot (again, just made my foot swell on either side of the band)-massage ball to roll on the bottom of my foot (not sure I had enoug time to use this long enough for it to help - became painful after a few minutes)*************I finally settled on this splint after reading the reviews. When I first got it, I mistakenly assumed (as others did) this splint had to be tight enough to keep my heel settled into the split. I put it on and adjusted the straps. Within minutes my toes were going numb and I had pain on the top of my foot.I figured it was going in the pile of other failed products. Then I came back and read the review by “Victor” again, because he mentioned how to adjust the splint to be comfortable but still effective. He said:“I keep the top strap (Calf) tight which keeps the splint in place. The middle strap (Ankle) I tightened so it is AGAINST my skin but not tight. The bottom strap (Top of foot) I keep loose, to help visualize about how loose, I can slide my pinky finger easily across the top of my foot between my foot and the strap. I found that this was the strap which was cutting off circulation to my toes and causing me a lot of pain.”If you follow these instructions it is a huge difference. I first started wearing the splint this way for a couple of hours before I would go to sleep, while I was laying down watching tv. I did this for about 2 nights. Then I began to wear it through the night. The first night I lasted about 5 hours with it before becoming frustrated. Second night about 6 hours. Then I made it the whole night on the 3rd try. Now I have been able to wear it through the whole night for 3 nights.So...I have been using this about a week now and my PF pain has improved dramatically. I also got a cylindrical massage roller for the arch of my foot (less sharp texture than the ball) and after sleeping in this splint all night, I roll my foot on the massage roller for a minute, then I am able to get up and take steps without the stabbing heel pain I was having.This splint definitely has a learning curve but I have found it to be the most effective treatment so far. I wish I had tried this first before wasting money on so many other items first.**Of note - If you have very wide calves over ~20” I would reconsider this or you will have to rig something up with an extra strap as the strap only adjusts to length for about that size.

I bought this splint due to the large number of positive reviews, but I did take note of the many negative reviews that talked about the splint being painful after a while and people taking them off in the middle of the night. When I received it I immediately put it on to see how it fit. I wear a size 10 1/2 mens shoe and the large fits my foot comfortably. I don't know if I would fit into a medium, because with the large I have quite a bit of excess velcro on the straps. My toes come within about 1/4 inch of the end of the boot so I think it is the right size.-------------A TIP FOR PEOPLE WHO WAKE UP WITH PAIN IN THEIR FOOT OR HAVE THEIR FOOT FALLING ASLEEP-------------The first week of wearing the brace I was consistently waking up in the middle of the night with pretty severe pain in my foot caused by circulation being restricted and the strap closest to my toes putting pressure on the top of my foot creating pain in the ball of my foot as it pressed hard against the bottom of the brace.I now have figured out what works well for me, I hope it will help you adjust your splint. There is no documentation on how to use the splint that comes with the device. I assumed that all three straps should be tight which would make my foot conform to the angle of the splint. THIS WAS CAUSING A LOT OF PAIN AFTER A FEW HOURS OF USE!I now have learned that I get relief in the morning from my PF when the splint keeps me from pointing my toes in the night as this is supposed to do. HOWEVER the straps do not need to be tight for this to happen. I keep the top strap (Calf) tight which keeps the splint in place. The middle strap (Ankle) I tightened so it is AGAINST my skin but not tight. The bottom strap (Top of foot) I keep loose, to help visualize about how loose, I can slide my pinky finger easily across the top of my foot between my foot and the strap. I found that this was the strap which was cutting off circulation to my toes and causing me a lot of pain.SO when the splint is properly adjusted for me I can lift the ball of my foot and toes off of the bottom of the splint (like I am tapping my foot to a beat). The splint does NOT allow me to move my foot down (pointing my toes) THIS is what is important to keeping the plantar fascia stretched out which relives my PF pain.I have worn this splint for a few months now, and along with heel cups in all of my shoes, my pain is 95% gone. I only really notice it when I spend many days at home and I walk around barefoot on my hardwood floors. I took one star off the review for the complete lack of documentation accompanying this product. I believe that the reviewers that complained of pain wearing this at night had the splint on too tight.
