Swedish AFO Deluxe (Men Right)

This brace works wonderful, helps keep my foot in place as well as very sturdy. The two velcro straps hold everything in place and I don't think it would work as well with some of the ones I see with just one strap. The ankle strap is needed as much as the calf strap. Great product at a very reasonable price!!!

OK I’m trying to think of a way to write this review where it seems like a real honest critique of these devices because everything I wanna say is going to sound like an overly enthusiastic fake ad. I bought a lot of garbage off Amazon in the past and some of my reviews I was shocked to see they wouldn’t allow me to publish but to be totally honest I’ve never purchased anything that was life-changing like these things are. I have a severe problem with a drop foot both feet for 3 years due to neuropathy, I had a fall at least once a month, had to walk with a cane, and was becoming more and more immobile which made my other health conditions worse. I struggled with the cost of the expensive orthotics and I read a lot of reviews like this one so I decided to give these a try. I was not optimistic when they arrived, they seemed flimsy and cheap. Im over 200lbs, 6’3” and wear 13s. How was this little piece of plastic going to make a difference much less hold up? So I gave them a try, the only difficult part was getting my shoe on over them I didn’t have to trim them at all since my feet are so big they were actually a perfect fit but once I got my shoes stretched out a little this wasn’t so bad. The small velcro straps fell off and are worthless, I don’t need them anyway they work fine for me with only the big padded top strap. Walking with them was a little awkward at first I just had to tell myself to walk natural and I learn to trust the orthotics within a few weeks it was unbelievable the difference. Zero falls or even close calls since I put these on. I felt much more secure, My walking has improved dramatically, I’m getting away from having to use the cane but I still feel naked without it. Even exercising is easier with these, my feet stay on my bike pedals and there is no fear on my treadmill they have helped me continue to lose weight (down 100lbs+ in a year). They seem to be holding together well even after wearing them 24hrs straight a few times, yep I even slept in them. There is nothing I have ever purchased for so little that has benefited me so much, literally a life saver.

Removing one star because the adhesive on one of the straps is not sticking as well as it should, so longevity of this brace is less than desired, and we keep having to adjust the strap.

Work well to hold his foot up so he can walk better. After wearing it for over 4 hrs it starts to hurt, foot burns.

This product is useless, as the support behind the calf instead of in front will not allow a person with footdrop to get their foot in the shew once the product is in the shoe, nor will it allow first attaching the brace and then putting the braced foot into the shoe. It is also thin and way too flexible to support the foot from dropping. It is a scam, should never have been put on the market.
