Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Too Floppy Comment: I bought this night splint last year for chronic heel pain. I was hoping it would help stretch my lower calf muscle, which was very tight. While the splint was comfortable, it did not hold my foot at a ninety degree angle. The splint has no strap near the ankle so my heel kept sliding up. I wore the device for four or five months but it did nothing for the heel pain. This is the second splint I've tried. The first was the sock-type thing that yanked on my big toe. I don't recommend that one either. Customer Rating: Summary: Too early to tell? Comment: I've been using this product for just about a month and it is big and bulky, but didn't take long to adjust to sleeping while wearing it.
I work on my feet for 9 hours a day, so by mid-day my foot is really hurting regardless of if I had slept in the splint the night before or not. But I don't get that first jolt of pain when I take my first steps in the morning when I use it.
I am starting to see a bit of wear and tear on the middle strap, but the other 2 are holding strong.
I took the advice of other buyers and bought a smaller size than recommended and it's a perfect fit. Customer Rating: Summary: This night splint worked for me! Comment: After suffering for 8 weeks with plantar fasciitis, having a cortisone injection, wearing a shoe insert, and ultrasound treatment, I decided to try the night splint after reading the reviews. What a difference it made - after three nights of wearing the splint, and doing the exercises in the 5-minute P/F solution book, my pain decreased by 80%. I ordered a size smaller as recommended and it was a great idea - expected to have difficulty sleeping with it on, but it is very lightweight and I had no trouble at all. I limited walking in it to nighttime bathroom trips. Was well worth the money! Customer Rating: Summary: not comfortable, and doesn't put the foot into 90 degree angle Comment: I bought the smallest size and yet it is very loose inside and that makes the foot go into the relaxed position anyway. So, I don't think it will work. I see no relief yet. Also, the valcro part is bigger then the strep below it so it rubs on the skin and hurts, I had to cut it and make it more narrow.Since I cut it, now I can't return it, so for me, I think it was a waste of money. I do not recommend it to anyone. Hard to sleep with it too. Customer Rating: Summary: Good; however not great Comment: The product works well; however, I would hope other boots work better. I don't feel it puts the foot at a 90 degree angle. I use the 5 degree pad PLUS about two inches of rolled-up material under my toes to get a good stretch. They are right that you shouldn't walk much in this boot - it's fairly flimsy. Walking would ruin it pretty fast. The boot is also a bit narrow at my ankle. I put additional material around my ankle bone to keep it from developing a painful pressure point. A decent choice overall; however, not totally satisfied.
