Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint – Stretch Boot, Sleeping Boot, Achilles Tendonitis, Fascia, Calf Tendon Stretching, Heel and Bone Spur, Arch pain. Right & Left Foot. L4398 L4398 (Medium)

This night’s splint gives me a reduction in pain in the mornings. I have had plantar fasciitis for years and honestly nothing seems to work long-term. I will say that this has been the best one that I’ve ever gotten. It’s pretty comfortable and wearing it to bed is not too bad. The plastic on the outside tends to slip around better under the blankets at night. I used padding from an old night splint to take up the space where it’s loose around the straps. I also use a frankincense and castor oil roll on that works better than any over-the-counter or prescription topical. This night splint definitely helps the morning pain.

I have had a stroke and only have one hand that works so it was a little difficult to get it clipped in but other than that everything is fine but if you can use both hands, it’ll work great

I tried this boot I’m very night I got it. Usually in the morning I have to hobble around for the first little bit with my left heel hurting pretty bad. The next morning I woke up and took the boot off and stood up…. No pain at all!!!! This lasted about 6 hrs into my work day. Hopefully with time it will heal. Plantar fasciitis is no fun. Before the boot my heel would hurt all day, now it’s towards the end of the work day. Very pleased. It’s not that terrible to sleep in.

I've been visited by, what I think is, plantar fasciitis. I purchased this sling to try and see if it would help. My heel at that time was super sensitive to pressure. I pulled the sling on that night before bed and laid down. Almost immediately I started getting intense pain in my heal. Within five minutes I had removed the sling.What I found was that the sling had *very little* padding to it, at least in the heel area. The entire backside, including the heel area, of the sling is hard plastic with a thin layer of foam over it. Apparently there simply wasn't enough padding to cushion my heel. I later found a basic sling at a drugstore that was on clearance. The clearance rack sling had an open heel to it which is wonderful.Now, between these two slings I would prefer the Alpha Medical sling for a couple of reasons...IF it had an open heel. The straps on the AM sling seem to better secure the sling to your foot/ankle for one thing. The big thing, though, is that the Alpha Medical sling has the toe strap that goes from the toe of the sling up to the top of the sling. This allows for better adjustment of the angle of your foot to your leg. With the clearance rack sling there is no strap and it relies on a hard, preformed piece of plastic on the front of the sling to hold your foot in place...which kinda works. But, with the clearance sling, if you have the sling loose enough so as not to cause any pressure point/circulation pain then the sling doesn't hold your foot up as well as the AM sling does. I would much more prefer AM's toe strap design...if it wasn't for the hard heel. I guess I might could have modified (cut out the heel area) of the AM sling, but...I really didn't feel like going to that effort. In hindsight, on a better day when my foot wasn't hurting so bad I might have tried it. So, if your heel isn't super sensitive, as mine was, the AM sling will probably do a nice job at holding your foot at a good angle for you while you sleep. Like I said, if it wasn't for my heel being super sensitive to pressure I'd much prefer the Alpha Medical sling over the one I have now. Maybe in the future they'll come out with an open-heel model!!!! :)

buen material y muy util

I missed a step and tore ligaments and ruptured a tendon in my right ankle almost 3 years ago. I took 2 months off work and went through almost four months of rehab. I work at a museum and average 12,000-22,000 steps per day, so admittedly, I have not kept up with my stretching or exercises because I just come home and immediately get off my feet. I think this means that there has continued to be inflammation and weakness. At night, my foot relaxes but doesn't have the stability to hold itself upright therefore I end up with 'drop foot' which has lead to tendonitis/tendonosis. (in BOTH feet due to the whole compensating thing.) I realized that when I sleep in my boot, there is much less pain first thing in the morning, but the walking boot is so bulky, Noisy undoing the velcro in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom, and I only have the one.I just rec'd this and it's SOOOO sleek, comfortable and cushiony. I will say that I had no idea my ankle was so bad! My heal won't go into the back of the boot...at all! The other foot goes in (just barely) but it feels amazing because it can relax yet it's supported. The quick release straps are great (No VELCRO NOISE when taking it off !! :D ). The wedge (for those who need a deeper angle) is made of very supportive foam and has velcro on it so it stays in place - which is really smart. *I personally, am going to have to start working to get to the point where I use the wedge.At this point, I think I'm going to get a second one for the other foot.
