Product Reviews of Futuro Plantar Fasciitis Sleep Support
Product Review: Needs a redesign; one size DOES NOT FIT ALL
Summary: 1 Stars
This brace might work if it stayed on your foot! My ankle is 1" larger in circumference than the smallest size of the range they give on the box. However, when I wore this brace in bed, just wiggling my foot a bit would allow the brace to begin sliding down -- I could easily just wiggle it right off my foot. No matter how tight I fastened the straps (any tighter, and your foot starts to tingle), there is still too much room to flex your ankle and point your toes. I think one big improvement would be to offer the brace in at least two sizes -- a smaller brace might have worked better for me. But the basic design is flawed because it does not keep your foot at a 90-degree angle to your leg. This is the only plantar fasciitis brace I've tried so far, so I cannot compare it to any others.Product Review: Night Splint Review
Summary: 5 Stars
The product reduced my heel pain in the morning starting on the very first day! After a week or so of use, I failed to take it on an overnight trip and definitely had increased heel pain upon rising in the morning. I will definitely take it along on my next trip. Hopefully it is helping my condition heal faster (this is difficult to determine). It is easy to put on and compact enought that it does not really interfere with my sleeping.Product Review: Not a great night splint
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this based off other reviews from a local retailer. I wore it a few times and never felt like it fit right. The plastic is really stiff and it did not curve well to my foot. Even after adjusting it several times it doesn't hold your foot at the right angle. I will say it is much more comfortable than the other night splint I own to wear to bed, but it did not help much. I ended up returning it.Product Review: Not meant for a high instep.
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased two of these one for each foot, with the thought that they were be more comfortable and easier to wear than a boot style brace/splint. Unfortunately there is a flaw...
I have bad feet in multiple ways, one of which is plantar fasciitis, others are heel spurs, high arch, and a high instep, that last one was the issue with this style of Dorsal night support. A high instep means that the top of my foot is taller than most, kind of bows or curves up instead of lays flatter than most. With sneakers I always have to loosten the laces significantly towards the top of my foot and the toungue of the sneaker, and I can't wear most boots because they are too low there, I can't even get my foot into most of them unless they have laces that I can loosen.
Anyway, I couldn't even wear the night support the whole night due to the pressure that they put on the top of my foot, it was too painful, I couldnt' sleep and had to take them off, the second night I tried, I loosened them hoping that I could still make them work, the pressure still hurt the top of my foot but I was able to fall asleep, but only part way through the night they both fell off.
They probably work great for someone with more normal feet, someone without a high instep, but if you do have a high instep, like me you'll probably have to go with a boot style night support.
The other annoyance is that this seller won't take it back. I contacted them with my issues and they do not allow returns. So, now I have two completely useless items and have to spend more money on a boot style support to use to actually help and hopefully cure my plantar fasciitis.
Thank you kindly,
Leah
Product Review: Once I figured out how to adjust it ...
Summary: 4 Stars
I like this product, now that I figured out how to adjust it. At first it wasn't obvious that the strip around my toes could be removed and placed closer to my ankle. Overall, the brace is light, easy on/off, and small enough to travel with.
