- AFO Foot Drop Brace - Drop Foot Brace for Walking - AFO - Unisex (Black)

I have tried other drop foot AFOS with hard plastic sides. This brace is much more comfortable. Nice that it can be worn to walk without a shoe. Velcro is strong. Support is very good. Adjustment is a bit difficult. Just takes getting used to. Good value. Seems very durable. Very glad I ordered it.

I have had a pair of these for a couple weeks now. They immediately improved my confidence with gait. My wife never even noticed them for the first couple days. They provide enough toe lift so that I no longer occationally catch my toes and lose my balance. They also do not impede plantar flexion as the neoprene cuffs stretch enough to allow normal toe off. Get one of these if you just have a single sided deficit or a pair if you are bilateral impaired so you can walk normally and safely again. They are 100% more comfortable than the expensive hard plastic AFOs. Also, they are easy to put on by yourself if you can bend forwards while sitting. Contrary to some reviews that say that the velcro wears out, it is fine. Maybe those people put them in the dryer and they attracted fuzz balls. Also, those reviews that say the shoe lace strap is too short, I wear size 15 U.S. shoes and the strap could probably extend to a size 20. Overall this is a fantastically designed product that can change your life if you wear laced shoes or sneakers. Buy, buy, buy.

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!

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.

So far it's working amazingly. I'll be taking a long awaited walk soon and will update afterwards UPDATE: Just walked a full mile with no foot drop issues! I'm super excited that this simple device works like magic! Heel to toe! Finally after years of lifting my knee to clear the ground and getting so tired quickly. I could barely walk 1 block. Im able to wear a regular lace up sneaker again. Also very easy to set up on my shoe. Thank you so much for this product. I'm ordering a second one for my other shoes. If I could just buy the clip device separately that would be even better but until then I'll just buy another set up. If you suffer foot drop..please try this. No more ugly orthopedic shoes or clunky brace!

Great product that helped me with my foot drop.

Does pretty good however the ankle piece slips down
