AFO S-Type - Drop Foot Stabilizer Brace, Moldable, Trimmable, Lightweight Polyethylene, Braces for Men, AFO Brace and Foot Drop Braces, Boot for Injured Foot, Men, Left

My husband has drop foot and has tried many braces. This one has been life changing as he can now walk without using a cane. It is comfortable and gives great support. This brace is the best and the price is very affordable. Great quality.

I love this! It only took about two years of battling severe foot drop in my left foot and slight foot drop in my right, after lumbar surgery #2. I had never even heard of this simple, yet effective, device! Until . . . A physical therapist I recently consulted with suggested giving this a try. With his simple explanation of its intended purpose . . . I couldn't open my Amazon account fast enough! I decided to start with my left, being the worst. After receiving, fitting, and taking just a few steps . . . My "slight" foot drop on my right was highlighted! Sooo . . Off to Amazon to order it's mate! I honestly feel bionic and free to walk without fear of public gymnastics due to the toe of my shoe dragging, causing my tripping, falling, and . . . I highly recommend trying this if you struggle with foot drop problems! I haven't experienced any problems with fit or comfort, at all! I would think any minor irritation could be simply resolved with the strategic placement of gauze. Imho, that would be an easy trade for an amazingly helpful, simple, reasonably priced . . . Bionic Feet! Im so excited to experience walking confidently again! After years of struggle, doctors, surgeons, and "specialists" . . . I couldn't be more greatful to my very knowledgeable, well educated, focused, specialist, who first informed me of this life changing invention! . . My Physical Therapist! All of the education in the world is useless when not applied! If for some reason this does not help your foot drop it's a simple return. My life has changed . . . For less than $100!😁

Because of the paralysis I have in my foot and ankle, it’s a little difficult to get on but other than that, it wonderful. Very good quality , no sharp edges, very comfortable pad on the top fastener Its so perfectly fit you don’t even know you’re wearing it. It’s improved my walking and balance. The support on the back of the leg is strong yet very light. The size is perfect and the straps are easy to apply. No adjustment to size was required and most importantly, once in the shoe under the insole, you can not even feel it. It does not slide around and is comfortable when walking.

This inexpensive, functional & well fitting AFO brace turned out to be near perfect for my drop foot accompanied by a weak ankle. In addition to supporting my drop foot, it also provides support for my ankle that's NOW NO LONGER prone to twist. I would not have believed it after trying numerous others (including an $800+ carbon fiber brace). Other buyer comments about this particular brace is difficulty of fitting/comfort. I believe that's because buyers do not realize that the bottom piece should be placed UNDER the shoe's insole. This issue could be easily solved if the manufacturer included instructions/guidelines, which they unfortunately DON'T.

It works beautifully. It looks like it could not hold up to the task it is meant to do. IT DOES. In my personal case, my ankles are weak, and the AFO supported my ankle that was turning inward by keeping it straight ahead. This assisted me in not falling and walking more safely and with more confidence. The AFO was recommended to me by my physical therapist and told to purchase it on Amazon as it was available. Should you purchase this item, I would stress that you get a doctor/PT recommendation, and then see if your insurance would purchase or assist with purchase. I did not do this, but I should have at least asked my insurance about coverage. The price is NOT prohibiting, but why not ask? I have had the AFO for 3 weeks now, and I never go out without it.

Easy to wear, 2 Velcro straps, can be cut using scissors for a custom fit

I really wanted these braces to work, but ultimately, they were not a good fit for me. I suffer from drop foot in both feet as I recover from a head injury. I read some other reviewers’ comments who advised these were helpful for this ailment, so I was hopeful when I ordered them. As I have drop foot in both feet, I ordered two of these braces. Although they arrived within a few days of each other, I knew they wouldn’t work for me immediately. First, they really don’t offer any ankle support, which is where I really need it. Second, the women’s version was too small. The foot plate was far too short (I’m a women’s size 10), and the plastic area where you place your heel was far too narrow for comfort. I have very narrow feet, so I see these being too small for anyone with normal feet. If I were to purchase these again, I would definitely recommend the men’s iteration. They can be trimmed down to size if too large/long in the foot plate area. The top strap is nice, but the strap above your foot really doesn’t do anything as far as support. Hopefully these work for your needs, but they were of no help for my dual drop foot.

This is the best brace I have found at an affordable price! It fully supports my drop foot and makes walking easy again. The straps and brace itself seem very durable, built to last. I would give this brace 5 stars but I had to settle for 4 because it is a little difficult to slip in and out of my shoes, and I have big shoes. I didn’t even need to cut down the base part, my insoles are actually bigger than it (size 13M). While it makes walking easy, whenever I begin to step with my brace foot (left) the back of the brace digs into my heel/Achilles. I can’t quite figure out how to get it to stop because sometimes it doesn’t. I don’t know if it’s because of certain shoes or the way I strap it to my shin but it can be very painful. I’m buying a pad to stick to it to hopefully ease the pressure.
