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

I suffer with foot drop caused by spinal problems, I have a light blue NHS brace, I bought this black one because I prefer the colour especially when wearing shorts. But interestingly enough it is quite a bit shorter and I actually find it much more comfortable Than the NHS one, I have large calves and even after heating and bending it it still pinched and rubbed a bit. Because this one is shorter it goes under my calf muscle so doesn't hurt at all The heel is also more comfortable and I don't need the pad a have to use with the other. Surprisingly it gives as much support to my foot as the higher one, I was a bit worried at first The only down side is the lower strap got in the way, I always wear boots not shoes, so I removed it by drilling the metal fixing. It's much easier to put the brace in the boot then put my foot in. This would not be a problem with shoes.

I have foot-drop in both feet and have for many years been wearing the ankle brace support type with the Velco strapping to assist my walking and to prevent my feet from drooping and tripping etc., but I found them to make my ankles swell and become tired and sore. So I decided to purchase a right and left AFO S-Type, to see if I could walk more efficiently and normally. I recently did a 3 mile walk around London and found both to be very comfortable indeed. The upper leg Velcro strap has soft comfortable padding, which did not chafe my legs. The fit and the effectiveness was perfect for me - I found that I could walk quite normally without tripping, and I could walk faster with no more pain in my ankles, and I have started to learn to run again ! These are very good value for money, are an excellent and comfortable support and I shall be wearing them from now on - I wished that I had acquired these much earlier. Don't forget to remove the insole from your shoe and place on top of the AFO sole. I have found my legs again!

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.

I’ve had a foot drop for about 6 months now and have used a variety of foot braces but this one definitely tops them all based on the price and functionality. It’s so quick and easy to put on and I feel very stable when walking around. I was surprised to find out just how comfortable it was even after walking or working for hours. You get a good amount of mobility after adjusting it to your fitting. When the velcro starts to give, I will buy this AFO again or try replacing the velcro.

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

I just received this brace and I can't believe how comfortable and well made it is compared to the other brace I've been using for years! It gives me so much more support and the ankle strap I believe makes a big difference. I have severe nerve damage that resulted in drop foot after a right hip replacement back in 2013. My other brace was okay but didn't give me even half as much support as this one does. I feel much more comfortable and confident with this brace. If you're considering purchasing it I encourage you to do so. You won't be sorry you did!

Très déçue, le talon est BEAUCOUP trop serré, ca devient impossible pour la marche ou simplement juste de les porter. Je trouve que la fabrication est bonne avec de bons matériaux assez robuste. Mais pour le retour, pensez-y ce n'est pas gratuit comme la plupart des articles sur Amazon celui ci on doit payer le retour par la poste. $$ ca revient cher pour une atèle que je ne porterai pas.
