Easy to use Comfortable Works as it should Should have another strap where your toes are

Forcing ones foot to be at a 90⁰ angle is hardly the pinnacle of comfort by any means, but of all the braces I had to purchase over this past month to be even slightly comfortable this one takes the cake! Although I insisted with my doctor that there was, in fact, a demon residing in my foot and we'd need Vatican approval to properly exorcise the vicious beast in order to not walk and scream at the same time, she informed me it was called Heel Drop. More like Hell Drop if you ask me, but at least now we know the demon's name which is apparently key to any exorcism. My doctor still claims medical science should be used rather than a religious ceremony and recommended I live in a boot for a few months. So now I am the old lady who lives in a shoe. But I had to find the right boot. One I could sleep in without throwing the painful apparatus clear across the city at 2am. I went through 3 different boots and thus became some kind of Goldilocks saying "this one is too pinchy and this one is too ouchy. But this boot is just right." I would recommend this boot even though it's not great to walk in. This is more of an "I need an excuse to sit and not move for the next 4 hours" kind of boot. So of you're looking for reasons to be stationary on your most comfortable couch or chair, this boot is your perfect choice.

Recommended by the Michigan Foot Doctors, a very helpful YouTube channel. My right ankle was immobilized 9 weeks (mostly in a cast, but then in a boot for about 3 of those weeks). Great for setting my fractures but terrible for my Achilles tendon. I got right into physiotherapy and progressed from the lightest stretches to some more aggressive stretches. But after a nearly a month of that, I was not happy with my progress. I'd do stretches as prescribed, but my ankle still throbbed with stiffness and pain. A prescribed MRI revealed that I had plantar fasciitis to boot. I had been watching some of the great online physiotherapist videos and because of them I bought and was using really good strong orthotics, but because of the MRI result, I finally stumbled on the Michigan Foot Doctors discussion of how to cure Plantar Fasciitis. There are quite a few excellent tips in that video about how to deal with the pain, immobility and inflammation of that fascia. And that's where I saw this device, referred to as a night splint. Dr Biernacki says that it's just as effective (and way more comfortable) to wear the device for 40 minutes daily while watching tv, rather than trying to sleep with it on. So I tried that. What a difference! No amount of active physiotherapy - prescribed stretching would really do anything for the constant mild pain of walking (Classical Stretch DVD workouts have helped and make my whole body feel great so I do recommend those as well). But after 40 somewhat uncomfortable minutes in this BraceAbility stretch boot (whole time I felt new areas of the foot being stretched), I realized that the long passive stretching was getting to not only my Achilles tendon, but picking up adhesions and atrophy-bound bits and pieces of fascia, tendons and muscle in the entire area. I took the boot off and my foot felt AMAZING. Like my ankle and foot haven't felt this free and loose since before the fracture. I highly recommend it. Worth every penny.
