Original DOSH AFO Foot Drop Brace. (Black)

Great product that helped me with my foot drop.

Very effective equipment, and comfortable.

I had my tibialis anterior as well as the rest of my anterior compartment fully removed, cannot lift my foot or toes whatsoever for the rest of my life. Been using these for about 8 months now ever since I started walking again, and they work GREAT for me, able to work my old job which involves standing, walking, and lifting things all day. Can go for long walks, hike, squat, all types of things that were supposed to be possible. BUT, while it works great for me, it doesn't work great the way they suggest using it. If you only use the strap with the laces clip when you have shoes on, it's far too low on your ankle to lift your foot properly... And if you try to set it higher, it slides down. The way I found to solve this issue and keep it higher up my shin so that it actually holds my foot up, is by taking the portion that's supposed to go around your foot when you're barefoot, and applying that to my leg right above my shoe, then setting the one with the clip ABOVE that and clipping it my laces, that was it stays at a higher position more easily because the other strap is below it holding it up. Though it still slides from this position a bit, it can be solved by wrapping your ankle in gauze (you can find gauze on Amazon for like a dollar per roll) that way both the botton and top strap stick in place better, keeping the attachment point high and therefore your foot fully elevated to 90°. Just don't wrap the gauze too tight and cut off circulation to your foot. Like I said, I'm able to do a lot of things with this product I otherwise wouldn't be able to, and do them well and essentially pain free. BUT, only when used as I describe. Good luck, it gets easier, don't give up if you have drop foot and let it prevent you from doing things, keep working.

-Aesthetically G(largely concealed with black footware bz low profile straps) -Durable, snap buckle sup to velcro designs - Easy on/off - BIG neg is support for foot drop depends on shoelace TIGHTNESS/ diff to control!! Rigid AFO brace FAR superior ie easier on/off, comfort, durable etc!

Inexpensive and works great.

You can’t push the clip through the D-Ring for the un-shoed second piece. It’s useless if you can’t use it.

My son has serious drop foot. He basically walks on his ankle because his right foot is turned so far to the right. He wears a leg brace whenever he goes out but at home he doesn’t wear one. I wanted something that would aid in keeping his foot from turning so far outward. Because of this disability, his gait is so wide. He constantly trips and it’s hard for him to maneuver around things. So we needed something to make walking around the house a little easier for him. We strapped this over a thick sock for extra comfort. The top part that goes around his ankle, we twist as far to his left as possible so that the buckle is almost on the inside of his ankle instead of the front. The other buckle part that wraps around his foot, we keep facing forward. We do this to help pull his foot towards the front. I like this brace. The Velcro is nice and strong and so far (we had it for 2 months) it is holding up. Very easy to put on and take off. I’m also hoping it will help his foot turn a little further forward over time. So in addition to his large hard brace that starts from his toes and ends at his knee this is a good extra brace just for wearing at home. It’s comfortable, easy to use and simplistic. It doesn’t take up half of his leg, very minimalistic, which we love. Definitely recommended if you want a small foot brace to wear besides the bulky one from the doctor.

I suffer from foot drop due to prior stroke and was very excited to try this and be able to use it around the house however, I was very disappointed as I read a lot of the reviews before I purchased this and it seemed to help them. Maybe it's the circumference of people's legs and feet. I have skinny legs and a skinny foot and this product did not help at all the length of the cord that you buckle was way too long even when I put the second brace higher up my leg it did not help with the function of lifting up my foot whatsoever. I've tried every single possible option. I am giving it to stars only because it's a great material. I just wish it would have worked for me.
