ProCare Dorsiwedge Night Splint - Soft Padded Foot Brace for Arch Support and Plantar Fasciitis Pain Relief - Adjustable Fastening, Fits Left or Right Foot, Washable Removeable Liner

I have plantar fasciitis and I have the worst pain at nights, well also during the day, but it can be so unbareable come bedtime! So I thought try this after asking in a group what splint everyone uses. This one looked the most comfortable as well. It is comfortable at night, I have slept in it, I did take it off halfway through the night a couple of times. One time my toes seemed to have no feeling, I think I had pulled the strap too tight there, but I was finding my foot was slipping hence tightening it. But overall, it helps so it is worth the money to actually get some sleep in my opinion. It keeps the foot in the position it needs to be in to stop that awful pain! I'm only giving 4 stars just because it does make my foot slip a little and getting the solid underfoot piece in isn't as easy as it looks because of the velcro.

Hallelujah! A night splint that doesn’t cut off circulation to my feet or give me pressure sores! I’ve been stuck in braces for over 9 months now (ruptured Achilles in both legs) and these braces have been an epiphany! I can sleep without any of the pain associated with more popular but way more difficult-to-fit splints!

Having thought I had plantar fasciitis (my doctor agreed) I bought the night splint to see if I could get any kind of relief. Unfortunately for me it didnt provide any. I believe this to be, pending a visit to an actual podiatrist (appointment is taking forever), I have achilles tendonitis. Maybe I have both I dont know...a 2nd doctor seemed to think it may be the achilles tendon as opposed to plantar.I bought a McDavid Achilles tendon strap and it arrived today. I have it on at work and it seems to be helping a fair bit.This isn't a negative review of the night splint as I am sure it may help those of you with plantar fasciitis. If like me you are seeking relief desperately and not getting a great deal of support from your GPs it might be worth having a look at the achilles strap instead and working out what you have with a little more investigation. The standard advice is always to consult a GP but, to be honest, when it comes to biomechanical issues they seem to be out of their depth and, with me at least, certain doctors seemed reluctant to take it seriously. Indeed - advice from one was to take painkillers and 'get on with it' which is what I have been doing for years. Thanks for the help...not. If you do see a GP and you feel you are being short-changed just insist on seeing a specialist. The appointment will take months but dont let them fob you off.Wearing the night splint itself wasn't the most comfortable experience but I dont think there is any way to avoid this really. Its as comfy as it's going to get wearing a foamy ski boot to bed. Needs must however....and in fairness, its a good product which feels sturdy strapped up.Good luck fellow sufferers!

It's made well, fits, but rather uncomfortable and hot to wear at night. I think stretching before bed would do just as much for the morning pain and issues that this deals with are probably indicative of other mobility issues that this won't cure. I'd only use it if a doctor/physio said to.

Brilliant I ordered this foot splint has the other I had was to hard this is a lot more comfortable to wear..

It is a big item and you would expect it to give great support to your foot whilst sleeping. The fact is the foot can still move even when you fix it with the straps and it's very uncomfortable to sleep with it on. This second bit would not be a huge problem is you felt your foot was tight, but that was not my case so I had to return it.

It's comfortable and does exactly what is says on the tin.... However,... it can become very warm through the night. I find myself waking up through the night to take it off, which defeats the object. It's very padded (a good thing), but couple with the synthetic material makes for a very warm night. Not sure it'll get much use through the summer.

Does as you expect
