AZMED 2020 Adjustable Night Splint for Plantar Fasciitis and Foot Drop Support

Private: Oh my goodness! This brace helps my feet feel so much better in the morning. I definitely realize when I forget to wear it! It does make walking difficult if you have to be up at night. But for the brace to stabilize the my foot so I wake pain free, it's a minor inconvenience.

DStiefer: The braces are great, they keep my feet in a better position at night so I have less tendon pain in the morning. I like the shape and material that allows me to move while asleep without waking me or getting tangled in the sheets.
There are a few things I don't like. First, they are sold as a pair but the velcro is the same for left and right. So, it's comfortable to put the left brace on but difficult to get the right brace on and off. Because you are immobilizeing the ankle, you need the braces tight, thus my feet loose feeling due to blood flow restriction. I also get intense pain, this will go away with time I hope but it is something that you should be aware of.
Overall they are good braces and they reduce my pain walking, I have plantar fasciitis and pain in the achilles tendon.

S. French: I recently tried out this foot brace with mixed feelings. While it has some positive aspects, there are a few key issues that prevent me from fully endorsing it. I found it to be an average product with room for improvement.

One of the main drawbacks of this foot brace is its inability to hold the foot at a 90-degree angle consistently, which is crucial for maintaining a stretched position for the plantar throughout the night. Despite the presence of a metal form, it fails to effectively prevent the foot from flopping. This compromises its intended purpose and leaves much to be desired in terms of support.

On the positive side, I found the foot brace to be lightweight and soft, making it comfortable to wear. It is also relatively easy to put on, contrary to some negative reviews I came across. The user-friendly design allows for hassle-free application, which is appreciated, especially for individuals with limited mobility or dexterity.

Although this foot brace has its shortcomings, I see potential in it. If changes were made to the shape to enhance its ability to hold the foot at a 90-degree angle consistently and prevent flopping, it would greatly improve...

Darell M.: It works ok but wear a padded sock under it because the metal insert is not padded enough and digs into your foot and shin

JenR: I didn’t feel it flexed the foot enough and the hard part of the splint hurt the top of my arch. Could only mange a couple of hours with it before ripping it off my foot.

lisa steenson: I can't say whether or not this works but then I will never know whether or not it is on properly as there are no directions. I don’t even know if it is upside down or not and I read the brief instructions provided after another purchaser asked for directions. One already has to go through trial and error for fit....this should not take trial and error to put it on properly! May have better sales and less returns of the supplier put some effort into providing appropriate instructions.

Billie Anne Lentz: I tried this for a few nights and it did help a little. You can’t walk at all when you wear it so don’t plan on getting out of bed at night. However, I learned a place to massage my leg that has changed my life! There is a muscle or tendon that runs just to the right of your right leg and the left of your left leg that if massaged you immediately feel relief. Here’s what you do. Find your shine bone and locate a thin muscle to the right or left and massage all the way down to your ankle. If it doesn’t hurt like hell you haven’t found it. After massaging / applying pressure all the way down your feet will stop hurting. I have had plantar fasciitis for 20 years and this specific massage has dramatically improved my feet. I massage the muscle once a week and my feet do not hurt at all! I was in constant pain at work and when I came home. I’m a teacher so I’m up walking around a lot and it was awful. Please. Try this massage. My chiropractor showed it to me but even my osteopath had never heard of it. It really has been life changing for me. I wish you all the best.

Chris: I bought this last year and I do have to be honest that it was confusing as hell to put on every night. I think I might have used it about 7-10 times in total last year. I eventually figured out how to get in and out of the splints as one velcro strap had to go through the loop, then reverse it to stick. So, I was looking at some other night splints last week and I thought I would give these a try again after months of waking up with pain in my feet.

After the first night of wearing them again, the next morning my feet felt great. There was no pain. But, when I get on my feet in the morning most of that pain is still there. I'm not sure exactly how this is working but I do know that I have had "foot drop" for a very long time and maybe these help prevent that. I notice that when I sleep without these I always point my feet and toes down which puts pressure on my Achilles Heel which I'm sure cuts off circulation to my heel and all the way up to my toes.

My only wish is that there was a strap or something that allowed me to pull back my toes and stretch my plantar fascia throughout the night for even more relief and some rehabilitation. This is the only reason I...

A Hawrylczak: I have been in agony with plantar fasciitis for about 6 months. It has just been getting progressively worse until I could barely walk. I tried hot and cold therapy, resting, massage, went to Dr. after 3 months got steroid injection in 1 foot and nothing helped. Bought inserts for shoes, changed footwear tried EVERYTHING but nothing helped! Putting on weight as could not exercise or walk. I was very miserable :-(. Tried a different splint for nighttime was really uncomfortable. Then I discovered this!!! It's been amazing and really helped. I bought one at first and used it on one my right foot at night time. Over time (about 1 week) there was a huge improvement in my right foot. I bought a 2nd one and use them both at night and the pain has got less and less with every day. When I had a day off I would wear them during the day as well. I'm almost good now and can walk without feeling like I have hot knives poking my feel. They work by keeping your foot at a right angle while you sleep therefore stretching the affected tendon while you rest. At night it is comfortable to wear them over thin socks. During the day I wear them over a couple of pairs of thick padded sleep socks. It's...
