Brace On AFO S-Type - Drop Foot Stabilizer Brace, Moldable, Trimmable, Lightweight Polyethylene, Braces for Women, AFO Brace and Foot Drop Braces, Boot for Injured Foot, Women, Right

I love this! It only took about two years of battling severe foot drop in my left foot and slight foot drop in my right, after lumbar surgery #2. I had never even heard of this simple, yet effective, device! Until . . . A physical therapist I recently consulted with suggested giving this a try. With his simple explanation of its intended purpose . . . I couldn't open my Amazon account fast enough! I decided to start with my left, being the worst. After receiving, fitting, and taking just a few steps . . . My "slight" foot drop on my right was highlighted! Sooo . . Off to Amazon to order it's mate! I honestly feel bionic and free to walk without fear of public gymnastics due to the toe of my shoe dragging, causing my tripping, falling, and . . . I highly recommend trying this if you struggle with foot drop problems! I haven't experienced any problems with fit or comfort, at all! I would think any minor irritation could be simply resolved with the strategic placement of gauze. Imho, that would be an easy trade for an amazingly helpful, simple, reasonably priced . . . Bionic Feet! Im so excited to experience walking confidently again! After years of struggle, doctors, surgeons, and "specialists" . . . I couldn't be more greatful to my very knowledgeable, well educated, focused, specialist, who first informed me of this life changing invention! . . My Physical Therapist! All of the education in the world is useless when not applied! If for some reason this does not help your foot drop it's a simple return. My life has changed . . . For less than $100!😁

it is good quality and provides good support. It fit perfect didnt have to trim it at all.

Surprisingly more comfortable than expected. Easy to trim to size. Has helped with the pain & swelling in ankle at achilles & heel.

My problem is not drop foot so my experience may not be relevant to people who have that. The brace made my shoe very snug such that my big toe was squeezed.. I used it to help walking golf courses as my right leg has a dead nerve in the calf that climbing hills difficult. I bought the brace at the rec of my PT. He said it improved my gait. I have had mixed results: some days better than others. My foot got feeling painful on the last few holes of an 18 hole walking around. My physical therapist added some cushioning with adhesive pads that helped marginally, but because the brace is so snug, the pads were ripped off on the sides after a few wearings. Net net, for me it probably was of a little help, but there was also discomfort because of the squeezing on my foot and the plastic heel pieces, irritating back of my heel and bottom of my heel. Use some cushioning and get shoes that have some room so your feet aren’t too squeezed..

This brace has changed my life! I have severe drop foot that causes difficulty with balance. Walking was a chore. I’m much more stable and confident and able to walk longer. I sized up a 1/2 size in shoes but it fits nicely in my shoes, is easy to get on, and most importantly comfortable. I wear it whenever I’m moving around, even in the house! It has increased my independence. I haven’t had a fall since I started wearing it.

It works beautifully. It looks like it could not hold up to the task it is meant to do. IT DOES. In my personal case, my ankles are weak, and the AFO supported my ankle that was turning inward by keeping it straight ahead. This assisted me in not falling and walking more safely and with more confidence. The AFO was recommended to me by my physical therapist and told to purchase it on Amazon as it was available. Should you purchase this item, I would stress that you get a doctor/PT recommendation, and then see if your insurance would purchase or assist with purchase. I did not do this, but I should have at least asked my insurance about coverage. The price is NOT prohibiting, but why not ask? I have had the AFO for 3 weeks now, and I never go out without it.

I got this brace to help with drop foot and ankle instability that has been affecting my gait and causing pain. it seems to be (nearly) perfect for me! While I absolutely love the top, padded strap because of how comfortable it is, I found the bottom strap to be nearly useless for me as it didn't hold the brace properly on my foot and dug in awkwardly. Instead, I bought Jocyi brand compression wraps to replace the strap with. I removed the original strap and left the Velcro dot on, and that's where I start the compression wrap. I wrap it around the ankle and part of the foot and foot plate of the brace and it holds the brace perfectly and comfortably in place. I also bought a very thin, adhesive insole to place on the footplate to stop my foot from sliding. Honestly, for the price range, this is not a bad option at all, especially after minor cheap modifications. recommend to those on a budget for sure.

This is the best brace I have found at an affordable price! It fully supports my drop foot and makes walking easy again. The straps and brace itself seem very durable, built to last. I would give this brace 5 stars but I had to settle for 4 because it is a little difficult to slip in and out of my shoes, and I have big shoes. I didn’t even need to cut down the base part, my insoles are actually bigger than it (size 13M). While it makes walking easy, whenever I begin to step with my brace foot (left) the back of the brace digs into my heel/Achilles. I can’t quite figure out how to get it to stop because sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s because of certain shoes or the way I strap it to my shin but it can be very painful. I’m buying a pad to stick to it to hopefully ease the pressure.

I suffer with foot drop caused by spinal problems, I have a light blue NHS brace, I bought this black one because I prefer the colour especially when wearing shorts. But interestingly enough it is quite a bit shorter and I actually find it much more comfortable Than the NHS one, I have large calves and even after heating and bending it it still pinched and rubbed a bit. Because this one is shorter it goes under my calf muscle so doesn't hurt at all The heel is also more comfortable and I don't need the pad a have to use with the other. Surprisingly it gives as much support to my foot as the higher one, I was a bit worried at first The only down side is the lower strap got in the way, I always wear boots not shoes, so I removed it by drilling the metal fixing. It's much easier to put the brace in the boot then put my foot in. This would not be a problem with shoes.

Bought them to replace older AFOs and they are amazing! Good heel to toe walking with them strong but still comfortable. Bought left and right, soft straps and feels way more secure than just the Velcro style strapping that wears out. Easy to fit into any shoe may have to cut to size if you have smaller feet

I have foot-drop in both feet and have for many years been wearing the ankle brace support type with the Velco strapping to assist my walking and to prevent my feet from drooping and tripping etc., but I found them to make my ankles swell and become tired and sore. So I decided to purchase a right and left AFO S-Type, to see if I could walk more efficiently and normally. I recently did a 3 mile walk around London and found both to be very comfortable indeed. The upper leg Velcro strap has soft comfortable padding, which did not chafe my legs. The fit and the effectiveness was perfect for me - I found that I could walk quite normally without tripping, and I could walk faster with no more pain in my ankles, and I have started to learn to run again ! These are very good value for money, are an excellent and comfortable support and I shall be wearing them from now on - I wished that I had acquired these much earlier. Don't forget to remove the insole from your shoe and place on top of the AFO sole. I have found my legs again!
