BraceOn AFO Swedish Drop Foot Stabilizer for Walking and Exercise, Drop Foot Braces for Men, AFO Brace & Foot Drop Braces, Foot Boot for Injured Foot, Men, Left

Thank you soo much. OK, so I'm a retired surgeon. I'm 75 and developed a right foot drop from Anterior Tibialis Tendonitis compartment syndrome 11/24. I have loss use of my right peroneal nerve. I have been struggling with walking due to the foot drop after about 1-2 blocks. I received this AFO today and walked over a mile with complete comfort and stability. I enjoy walking again. OK. So adjust this AFO as needed. If you're getting this, you have some mechanical skills. Put your foot fully in the AFO and mark the end of your toes. Use scissors to trim the end. File the end to make a taper. Place the AFO in your shoe, then place your foot in the AFO and attach. It works fine. Thanks.

As a result of injuries during my previous career, I've essentially no more cartilage in my ankle and have a great deal of bone-on-bone contact at all times. Thus, I need (at least) a semi-rigid support for my ankle/foot to significantly reduce the flexion in my ankle when peddling on a bicycle...at this point the only potential physical activity available considering various injuries I have. Thought this product might help, but it does absolutely nothing to reduce the flexion...I mean NOTHING. My ankle still fully flexes even with the smallest amount of pressure applied while wearing the brace. FOR ME, this product was a complete waste of money. However, if we don't try, we don't know, right? I wold offer that if you need ANY sort of restriction to the amount of flexion you have in your ankle, this is NOT THE PRODUCT FOR YOU. However, if you're just looking for something that may fool your mind and gives you the sense that there is some support, then give it a shot. Again, this product DID NOT MEET MY NEEDS, but everyone's needs are different and the product may be just what the doctor ordered for you. Good luck!

I would’ve given this a five stars if it had came with some foam padding at the very top of the brace. Since I have a very sensitive and numbing sensation on my calves, this brace dug into my skin and caused a wound. The brace did the trick, but if it had a little more padding or if I would add some padding before wearing them again, it’s a good brace.

I have Charcot Marie Tooth (CMT) Disease, which causes a lot of imbalance, high arch, pain, drop foot, and more. I took a chance on these braces (both left and right) as an affordable option to the ones you’d get through an actual doctor (which are custom fit and extraordinary, I myself just haven’t gone yet). Prior these braces I clomped quite a bit and my feet would tire out so fast that I’d have to sit and let my feet relax for a few minutes till I got back to walking. They’d be so weak I couldn’t lift my feet to walk. After the braces, I can still feel my feet being tired (there’s no escaping that), but I can keep walking without worry of my foot dropping and messing up my walk. (Granted my walk is still messed up, but that’s from my condition.) When I push my foot forward and release, the brace immediately brings my foot back into place. I even try to drop my foot behind me as I walk o purposely trip myself, and the brace prevents it. It’s actually pretty remarkable. They fit in my lightweight boots perfectly without trimming (size US Men 10.5), but I did take out all inserts (the initial insert I had already removed and replaced with a dr scholls insert). I do have corrective plastic heel molds, to which I slid into the boot on top of these braces and they fit just fine. I keep both the brace and heel insert in full time, and just take my foot with sock on out. I can’t really say just yet how the front half of my foot is going to feel walking on plastic all day after awhile, but so far it’s just slight discomfort toward the end of the day (like any shoe really). The portion that goes up your thigh, I would recommend high crew socks or just under the knee socks. The top edge of the plastic does rub, but that’s expected. There is no padding, which honestly I don’t think it needs it if you’re wearing socks. Virtually unnoticeable in pants, incredible. The Velcro (generic hook and loop) is okay, there’s extra so be sure to trim it up. They’re held on with some glue, the one already came off. But honestly that’s fine: I intended on replacing them with black straps anyway. I wasn’t sure if the bottom strap was really necessary, but I’ve come to like it. The top strap is a must. All in all, I’d give these a 4.9/5; with that .1 being the very very inconvenient strap issues. The fit, they WORK (the main point), relatively comfortable and unnoticeable, and are a bargain. Even if they loosen up / wear out / break, I’m willing to buy them again because they’re a deal. Miscellaneous context: 6’ 0” male, average build, 185 lbs, 10.5 US men’s shoe, physical activity and exercise level 6 to 7 out of 10, CMT Disease. Real review, not a bot or paid. Hopefully this helps others out.

It was to tight around ha calf needs to have padding

BraceOn AFO Swedish Drop Foort Stabilizer for Walking and Exercise for Men is an excellent product. Braces were recommended by my son's Physical Therapist . Braces are helping with improved walking difficulties. (He is disabled and 50 years old). So happy to get positive results with braces. He is comfortable with fit wearing over knee high socks.

No instructions. Difficult to get in shoe.. ordered size 9 1/2; these were so large I had to cut the plastic shoe insert down to fit in shoe.

Seems to help my drop foot. After a day of wearing , I needed to put a small strip of moleskin on my Achilles tendon where the brace slightly rubs when walking. Seems to be working quite well and a lot cheaper than a custom-made ankle brace.

It really helps me but to small in ankle part I will order a medium

He's getting older and needs help moving around.

Pros: Lightweight Trimmable to various sizes Good support around calf and ankle Cons: Velcro should extend further for better fitment Velcro had to be trimmed to avoid coming loose Ankle and calf support points should have foam supports.

did the temporary job as muscle healed for a decent price

Straps slopy fit as you can see in photo . The hook portion should be also on the entire strap so the loop can attatch and secure the extra length of straping. Poor design or just cheap cost cutting design
