Brace Direct 90 Degree Night Splint, Sleeping Boot for Plantar Fasciitis

After trying one boot that I returned (not comfortable to sleep in), I purchased the Brace Direct Padded Night Splint 90 Degree Immobilizing Stretching Sleeping Boot. I ordered it on December 14 and received it December 20. 2023. I wore it for about 4 hours for 3 nights and noticed that each day my heel felt better. After 3 nights, I began wearing it all night. It does slip off during the night, but I just slip it back on if I wake up. I continued to see improvement and after about a week, I could get out of bed and walk normally. There was no pain. The fasciitis is not gone but I don't look like I'm 100 anymore!! I wear a women's size 6 shoe and ordered a small boot. I could possibly use an extra small (if they had that size), but I find this one comfortable and it has worked for me even though it slips off. The plastic part of the brace did break after 2 months (it was not abused in any way). I called Brace Direct and the girl was lovely. She was happy to hear of my success and disappointed that it broke. She said that is very, very unusual. The boot comes with a warranty and she said they would replace it. I received a prepaid mailing label (shortly after speaking with her) to return the broken boot which I am doing today. Once they receive the broken boot, they will send a new one. I highly recommend the boot for plantar fasciitis.

Using to relieve tendinitis in my ankle, and it's very effective, at a fraction of the cost of buying through my podiatrist. The Size is smaller than described. I bought a small, based on the stated parameters of a small fits women's size 6.5-8. I wear a size 7 shoe, but the splint is slightly too short.

This has been great! I was having so much foot pain, it was excruciating to walk especially in the morning, but also every time I stood up. Where I work I am constantly up and down on my feet. I tried all kids of exercises and Remedies and nothing as helping. I I used this brace and had a drastic improvement after the first night and with in a week I had no more pain. I highly recommend this for plantar fasciitis! I wear it every night now.

I broke my ankle and had surgery two weeks ago. My ortho surgeon just gave me the go-ahead to use this type of padded night splint. I was so excited and couldn't order it fast enough. Honestly, the pictures speak for themselves. I'm a women's small 8, and I followed the size guide and it's wayyyyy to small. I initiated a return immediately! If you're a women's size 5.5-6, it might fit, but I still wouldn't recommend it because it appears that the velcro won't last very long.

Works well but Velcro wears out quickly

My girlfriend has plantar fasciitis and her podiatrist supplied her with a big giant hard plastic support boot which she uses at work since she is on her feet all day. We went to a second podiatrist who gave us a whole list of different things to try including a soft boot for at home and sleep. We chose this boot and it has been great so far. It definitely gives a similar amount of foot relief in a much more comfortable and lightweight boot that doesn't go far up your leg. She uses the wedge under her toes which seems to help since her regular hard boot doesn't have that. She hasn't tried sleeping with it on yet but may try it soon. This is definitely for indoor use only on carpet or wood/tile floors as the bottom of the boot is all cloth. She has small feet and the small size fits perfect.

I had high hopes for this brace because it’s so well‑reviewed, but it just wasn’t the right fit for my ankle. The main issue for me is the design: the back support doesn’t wrap around the sides of the ankle enough to keep it stable. Because of that, I never felt fully secured at night, and I was too concerned about my ankle shifting to sleep comfortably. I can see why it works well for others, but for my needs — especially post‑surgery — it didn’t give the level of support or side‑to‑side stability I was looking for.

There seems to be confusion somewhere with sizing. Some reviews stated their boot was larger than the sizing chart indicates while others said just the opposite, so I punted and ordered a Small. My shoe size is a solid 7.5 in Women’s. My toes slightly spill over the edge of the boot, so a Medium would have been ideal. In my experience, had I followed the company’s sizing chart I would have gotten the better fit. It’s lightweight, soft, and comfortable as advertised. As for quality, longevity, Velcro resilience, or other concerns, I cannot comment since it just arrived moments ago. Because the sizing chart seems accurate, I’ve given 5 stars for now since I have no issues at the fault of the company. UPDATE: A couple of weeks of solid use following surgery, and it has provided much relief for resting and sleeping. Still no issues with Velcro. For me, the boot is well padded, lightweight, comfortable, and gives ample protection while sleeping. I would highly recommend it for someone needing to replace the heavy walking boot while sleeping/resting/elevating, but it is not intended for walking.

Exactly what I've been looking for. Trying to help stretch my toe walking sons calves. I've tried SO MANY products for toe walking. Braces. Insoles. Arch support. Anti crease toe caps. And so many..many more. Prior to surgery, they will cast the child's legs to see if this corrects it. So we have been using this boot at night (it's mostly his left leg) and it's pretty comfortable and does the job, especially with the added wedge they give you! I do wish there was a 2nd wedge. It's made of a weak foam, which I can see warping with time. But we're happy !

Very good for my planter fasciitis Very comfortable while sitting and sleeping

Very comfortable, nice alternative to a hard boot for relaxing/sleeping. Would recommend, very happy with the purchase

N aime pas beaucoup car ça bouge c est gros et inconfortable

Would not recommend the longevity of this product, or its effectiveness, Velcro is not strong enough to stay closed throughout the night, it’s extremely frustrating, and after 3 months of wearing them only at night to sleep in, not walking in them, they have both cracked and broken at the heel, obviously a weak spot, frustrating because they are not cheap, I have plantar fasciitis, and tight calf muscles so need my foot to be held in position, otherwise I get horrible cramping, now I’m out $130 not happy.
