Brace On AFO S-Type - Drop Foot Stabilizer, Moldable, Trimmable, Lightweight Polyethylene with Padding and Buckle Closure, Women, Left

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.

pas très solide.. attaché trop grosse et pas.assez haute... je m en suis fait faire une vrai sur mesure

I really wanted these braces to work, but ultimately, they were not a good fit for me. I suffer from drop foot in both feet as I recover from a head injury. I read some other reviewers’ comments who advised these were helpful for this ailment, so I was hopeful when I ordered them. As I have drop foot in both feet, I ordered two of these braces. Although they arrived within a few days of each other, I knew they wouldn’t work for me immediately. First, they really don’t offer any ankle support, which is where I really need it. Second, the women’s version was too small. The foot plate was far too short (I’m a women’s size 10), and the plastic area where you place your heel was far too narrow for comfort. I have very narrow feet, so I see these being too small for anyone with normal feet. If I were to purchase these again, I would definitely recommend the men’s iteration. They can be trimmed down to size if too large/long in the foot plate area. The top strap is nice, but the strap above your foot really doesn’t do anything as far as support. Hopefully these work for your needs, but they were of no help for my dual drop foot.

Not for me

Excellent and beneficial
