 okay after adjusting for my size July 28, 2010
Austen Fan
I had the same experience with this product as some of the other reviewers; it kept slipping off my leg. I'm a smaller person, and the slots for the upper strap were too high, necessitating a very tight wrap that nevertheless kept slipping. (I don't know why the directions tell you where to place the strap, as its position is clearly fixed by the slots.) As there were no other device options that appealed to me, I simply removed the upper strap, reversed it so that the velcro-type material was on the other side, and wrapped it around the device at a lower point of my ankle/calf. Although it took a bit a practice, and I sometimes had to readjust it after wrapping the toe/ball of foot portion, which I also moved slightly, since the original position would have gone past the end of my toes, it worked quite well. My foot feels much better in the morning now, and, as a person who doesn't like my feet covered, I like that this product covers a minimal part of the bottom of the foot. I only wish that Futuro would make a smaller version for those of us who are of small stature, with smaller feet, as well as some sort of discreet support for daytime.
 Shoe size 7 or less beware! July 27, 2010

I bought this brace at CVS because it was the only night-splint available for PF and because I already use Futuro braces for my wrists (carpel tunnel) and absolutely love them. Futuro products had always been something I could trust in. Until I bought this brace.
I don't want to rag on Futuro because I have multiple joint issues and I've always been able to trust them with an inexpensive solution, so I was really dissapointed when I bought this foot brace and found that it was practically useless.
The top band kept slipping down my calf and becoming too loose while the bottom strap would slowly slip off of my toes. At first I thought this was a tension issue, but no matter how I tightened the straps, at every which angle, either the brace would slide, my foot wouldn't be braced or, when I finally got it to stay put and hold my foot in the proper position, the straps were so tight they cut off circulation to my toes.
I finally realized the problem was that I did not fall into the "one-size-fits-most" bracket. The brace was too big. I wear between a 6.5 to a 7 (womens) shoe depending on the type of shoe. I asked my roommate, who averages a half size bigger than me, to try the brace and it "mostly" fit, but still had some issues with slipping. I finally gave the brace to my sister, who has PF like me and a shoe size of 8.5, and she likes it alright, except apparently the velcro wears out quickly. (although that might be from my many desperate attempts to get the brace to fit me)
All in all, if you have a shoe size of womans 8 or larger, go ahead and give it a shot. But if you have smaller feet, don't bother. Go with a brace that comes in a smaller size.
 Almost forgot I ordered by the time it arrived July 22, 2010

For something I needed, I never waited so long to receive a item ordered on line.
The company processing and shipping the order must have a problem walking like I needed the brace for, and must have been the one walking it to my front door.
WILL NEVER ORDER AGAIN.
 Less pain but... June 16, 2010
Farm Hand (Pacific NW)
It helps with my Achilles pain, I wake up with less pain when I use it. However, it tends to numb my upper foot when worn all night...
Not a great night splint June 14, 2010
M. Escobar (Florida)
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.
