I have foot drop from FSH which caused me concern about walking anywhere, not only do I fall from this but as a result of my muscle condition have a great deal of difficulty getting up after a fall. I had been referred to a bracing specialist that fitted me with a large, uncomfortable, extremely ugly and expensive afo that would not fit in a regular sized shoe or under most pants. This device was unusable and all around horrible, and I was not willing to use a brace again for a long time. However, after doing a lot of online research I decided to try this device. it fits in my existing shoe, I did not even need to cut it. I hardly notice it except for the fact that I am no longer catching my toe and worrying about falling. Using it has even strengthened some of the muscles weakened by my condition. I would recommend trying this product.

I bought this about 6 months ago. It works well. It is comfortable in shoes or boots. It does what it says it will - provides good ankle support for my foot drop. It is more comfortable than the heavy duty carbon fiber one I was prescribed: that one works well for walking longer distances, but does not work with boots. The only reason not to give this product a 5 is that the thin foam backing at the calf is beginning to fall apart and I will need to find a replacement soon.

I have peripheral neuropathy caused by agent orange exposure in Vietnam. For years I have been dealing with numbness in my feet, lower legs, and hands. A few weeks ago my left foot began to drop and drag when I walk. Since it is virtually impossible to get an appointment with a neurologist at my VA, I took a shot in the dark and ordered this device. My wife and I have always been hikers, but my pace had slowed by over 50%; I was using a cane; actually fell a few times, was reluctant to climb or descend steps, and only left the house wearing high-top hiking or work boots. I do not believe in miracle products - most Vietnam veterans are real skeptical of everything. It fits right into all my shoes, doesn't hurt my foot or leg anywhere, doesn't add any weight; all my shoes still fit, and most of all, I can walk normally at a good pace again without my foot dropping. This thing has given my life back! We just ordered a second one.

Keep from stumbling. Velcro and ankle pad will need replacing over time.

This is the best foot drop splint I have found. The material is flexible and makes for comfortable walking and it's easy to get into my shoe. The only drawbacks are that the calf strap barely covers the adhesive and I have to place the strap very carefully, otherwise it snags my pants and clothes. Also, it only comes in white. Without those small drawbacks, this product would rate five stars.
