Product Description

ight Splints are normally worn at night during sleep or during rest after activity therefore called "night" splints. The most common severe pain and inflammation of plantar fasciitis is experienced in the morning, which causes the first few steps to be excruciating. The position the feet and ankles are held in as we sleep promotes cramping of the fascia and calf muscles. When feet are pointed under the weight of the blankets the plantar fascia muscle is contracted (shortened). Those first steps in the morning are painful because the muscle which as been contracted all night is suddenly stretched and pulled. The Night Splint is designed to provide a gentle stretch to the plantar fascia and Achilles tendon by comfortably positioning the foot in a controlled amount of dorsiflexion. This gentle stretch helps reduce the muscle contracture, inflammation, and associated pain, and helps promote healing of the injured tendons and muscles. It has also been clinically proven to reduce symptoms of plantar fasciitis.

I have the terrible habit of pointing my feet forward when I sleep and then my plantar fasciitis flares up - numb, tingling feeling in both heels. So I was hopeful this "Soft Night Splint" would be the perfect thing to wear while sleeping.
The problem is, it doesn't work. Unless you are as weak as a butterfly, it's still very easy to point your feet forward after wearing the splints because the straps aren't rigid. That defeats the entire purpose.
The splint doesn't breathe and is also very hot with or without wearing socks. The base of the straps are too close to your toes so when you start to point your toes, the straps crush your toes and they become numb after a while.
A soft splint is a nice idea but this one simply doesn't work. Try a rigid splint.

Doesn't provide enough stretch and is very hot to wear on your foot. Buy one of the braces with the hard-plastic spine.

I was hopeful this would work but there are WAY too many straps & velcro it took me an hour to figure it out , even with instructions. If I got it tight enough to hold my foot in position it made my foot / toes fall asleep. Ended up buying Futuro brand support at Walgreens.
