Product Reviews of Healwell Cub Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint Resting Comfort Slipper, Left Medium Black
Product Review: Not a cure, but pretty good
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this in August 2008 for my worsening plantar fasciitis following a recommendation to use a night splint from a colleague. He said it was the only thing tht helped him get over a flair a few years ago. I settled on the Cub after searching the net as this design seemed rather simple without all of the straps and buckles that others have.
Although it looks a bit dorky to crawl into bed with it on, it works pretty well. My plantar fasciitis is better (getting up in the morning is much easier, but is can still be painful), but it hasn't gone away despite my using the Cub every night for 6 mos straight. I think that b/c the angle between the lower leg and the foot is maintained only on one side (medial) rather than both, the Cub flexes a bit and is not as rigid as it might be. But I'm not sure that is why I still have PF either.
Product Review: Overall, Good product, but no miracle worker(yet anyway)
Summary: 4 Stars
I'm a 28 year old avid runner in Florida and have had PR in my left foot that's gotten progressively worse for 8 months.
Me being a competitor I wanted to just "run through" the pain. It's only gotten worse. So finally, the PF hurt so bad in the mornings, I had to take action.
I ordered the Healwell Cub and stopped trying to be tough guy and keep running.
It's been 2 weeks since I started wearing the splint, which is a very comfortable splint and not so bulky that it gets in the way all the time.
The outside feels kind of like wetsuit material, and is very soft and cushiony.
It's also been 2 weeks since I quit running on it, and it's starting to come around little by little. The pain now in the morning and throughout the day is half of what it used to be(it's still there though).
I love to run but it's not worth it to go through the nagging pain of PF.
I'm going to continue to wear the Splint and not run and hopefully it will disappear completely and I can get back to being active.
So far so good with the Healwell Cub I give it 4 out of 5 stars
