Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint and Brace, Upgraded Planters Facetious Relief, Foot Drop and Achilles Tendonitis Relief Brace. Night Splint for Plantar Fasciitis Women & Men, Black

Why did you pick this product vs others?:This is the only thing that has helped my plantar fasciitis and my heel bone spurs. It’s been incredibly painful to walk for several months and I’ve tried EVERYTHING. I saw a podiatrist, wore a boot for a while, have done stretches, bought custom super expensive $450 insoles, went to physical therapy, had shock waves done on my feet, had my bone spurs massaged to break up the calcium deposits, you name it…I’ve tried it. This is the only thing that brings me relief. It took a few nights of wearing them for my feet to settle down and be a 3-4 out of 10 on the pain scale instead of a 9-10. So be patient!! I wear Archie’s sandals around the house now because I’m not supposed to go barefoot anymore. But these splints actually allow me to walk with minimal pain. They can be a little confusing to figure out how to wear when you first get them and the scannable QR code on the instructions doesn’t work, but a quick google search will give you a how-to. Once you get them on, it takes my feet around 10-20 minutes to adjust to them because it kind of forces your foot into a locked position. I hate wearing shoes or socks or having stuff on my feet while I sleep, but these aren’t that bad and with the relief you get, you acclimate pretty quickly to wearing them. I’ve gotten in a habit of just putting them on if I’m lounging on the couch. I hope they work for you too because I KNOW how painful it can be.

I’ve been using the ELESIK Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint and it’s made a noticeable difference in my heel pain.It’s comfortable to wear through the night and doesn’t dig into my skin like others I’ve tried.The included massage ball and resistance band are great bonus tools for stretching and relief.The straps are easy to adjust and keep the splint securely in place.I wake up with less stiffness and pain, which helps me start my day on the right foot—literally!Definitely worth trying if you struggle with plantar fasciitis.

This was the 4th night splint I tried and I finally found one that was comfortable! I like that this one pulls up from the top/middle of the foot rather than the toes. It meant my toes were free and weren't being pulled all night, resulting in a lot of pain especially in my big toe. The only thing I dislike is the 3 set of straps that make it complicated to put on, and it's hard to see what part of the strap you pull to remove the velcro, so I might tab a little paint on the end to make it easy to spot.

Unlike alot of these sorts of things, this does what it says it's going to do. So that's a plus. Problem is, I'm not sure it does it particularly well. I can still point my foot while wearing it. There's a BIT of resistance, but not much.First of all, the center strap that pulls the front of the foot up is too long. By the time you cinch it tight enough to get toes facing upwards, you've pulled it too taut for the velcro to close. Leave it looser and it will close, but then it's not really pulling the foot up very much and I could angle my foot in bed which is exactly what I was trying NOT to do.Second, that aluminum bar in the thing is PAINFUL and does nothing productive. it severely limited my ability to make the thing fit at all. I think if you managed to get it bent into the perfect shape it MIGHT help, but that seems very difficult to do, and when it's wrong, the thing is extremely uncomfortable. I removed the bar (which can be done but no instructions were provided).The best straps are the two that go around and under the front of the foot. These can be tightened quite well and provide alot of support once in position. But overall, the thing only feels like it's helping 'a bit'. A bit is more than nothing, but not by alot. Hence my title: It's okay. But it doesn't rise to my expectations.

Every night I slip this on, and it feels like my feet are getting a little break from the stress of the day. By morning, they honestly feel lighter and way less stiff. Didn't expect this much relief overnight.

This takes some getting used to. Don't give up if its frustrating at first. Use it a few hours a night if that's all you can stand and work your way up to tolerating it all night. It takes a long time to get healing results. Do recommended stretches, ice, rolling your foot on a ball, ibuprofen etc as advised. And use this splint. It works. All of the velcro straps are a tangle until you get used to them. But it works.

The brace does not stay in place, rather it keeps sliding down my leg no matter how I adjust it. If it’s tight enough to provide a stretch, it compresses my metatarsals to the point of discomfort and still fails to provide enough stretch.

I like this design since the support is under the ball of the foot, not pulling the toes back. I also like that it isn’t bulky and is an open design. The material is pretty poor quality BUT it does what is needed. It’s nice to see a functional brace at an affordable price point.
