" ...  I think the hours-long stretch has greatly improved my plantar fasciitis. ... It is adjust with velcro and clips.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This keeps me walking without pain.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I love the fact you just have to occasionally adjust the velcro on the splint because the clips are used daily.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Wear size 8 1/2-9 size shoe, bought a medium which was correct size. ... Easy to adjust for beneficial stretch while still being comfortable.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It works to relieve my plantar fasciitis pain but my toes fall asleep!  ...  "
comment
" ...  The straps are padded along with any part that touches skin.  ...  "
comment
" ...  You have to adjust the strap to feel more comfortable depending on a day if ur leg is more/less swollen but if u in a lot of pain especially making that first step in the morning I highly recommend to try this.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Have to say not the most comfortable, but did the trick even after one night to almost eliminate my planters fasciitis.  ...  "

" ...  You can't really pull the straps tighter because of the resistance it has. ... I also didn't want to break them.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I finally compromised by letting the straps be loose, which greatly lessens its effectiveness.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Deducted one star just because the straps are kind of annoying and could be made a little better—getting them to loosen and tighten when you’re in bed is a bit of a hassle.  ...  "
comment
" ...  As shown in pictureva silicone or plastic piece between boot and bottom coming out.  ...  "
comment
" ...  There was no way to pull the Velcro part of the strap through the plastic clasp.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The only thing that I dislike is that the straps are difficult to adjust for me.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This thing is pretty poorly made. ... A big piece of plastic came off it tonight - like a seam that holds the bottom pad on. ... And the big problem is that the Velcro straps arias the top of the foot are mis-sized.  ...  "
comment
" ...  With buckles locate on the right side, rather than the middle it is difficult to buckle.  ...  "

comment
" ...  Fit was off, not comfortable.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I also didn't like the fit, which didn't feel at all contoured to my leg the way the boot is.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Splint seems well made but is difficult to secure. ... Additionally, the calf fit was very tight (even with measuring before ordering the calf fit was too small for my leg). ... Will not order larger size because the buckles are so difficult to lock.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It is far too flimsy and loose to hold the foot secure in a position that might provide any relief.  ...  "

" ...  Strap broke after a few weeks cheaply made.  ...  "
comment
" ...  2) The 3 straps buckle extremely far to the right side of the splint. ... If I were wearing the splint on my left foot, I could bend my leg and reach the buckles. ... This should be the way the straps are tightened once the buckles are snapped, but the straps will not move within the "slider-thingy," making that part of the adjustment worthless. ... It would be much better if all straps fastened in the middle instead of on the side, and fasten with velcro instead of buckles, with a design that allows the wearer to reach them, tighten them, loosen them, and release them.  ...  "
comment
" ...  the Strap going across my arch has hurt me a lot the first couple of nights. ... I have a high arch, so maybe there could be more foam around the straps holding a foot position.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I think that is because it has been difficult to get the straps adjusted right.  ...  "
comment
" ...  Also, I hate the locks on the straps! ... I wish they were like belt buckle locks instead of these snap-into buckles.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I loosen the straps and only tighten them once the boot is on.  ...  "
comment
" ...  The Velcro strap on the left side (that provides the backward 'lift' on the front of your foot) ripped off below the rivet where it connects on the upper.  ...  "
