Easy to put on and take off, even comfortable to sleep with it on. Neutralizing my foot and easing the pain at night. Plantar Fasciitis is no fun, this slint works.

Incómodo para usar a la hora de dormir; pero mientras estás recostado es muy útil

These are very comfortable to wear and definitely do what they are supposed to do: relieve plantar fasciitis pain. Getting out of bed in the morning without having to worry whether I could actually walk or not is simply priceless. Just make sure to use it for a while to help in the long run, even though you will literally feel almost 100% after one night's use.

I believe that this will work well. I've used it a couple of nights without the wedge and then started using the wedge. It takes some getting used to wearing it to bed, but I'm adjusting. The calf is a little tight because I have large legs, but not so tight that it hurts. I added one of my arch supports in the foot bed because I usually have to get up at least once in the night and I didn't want to take it off and put my slippers on to walk.

Four Years Later - Update to Original PostI have not had plantars fasciitis in the past 4 years but now I have it again so I pulled out my Vive Night Splint which really helps with one exception. The velcro connectors on this splint were never strong enough and never long enough. Sometimes you want to wear the splint loose and other times snug. So I asked my wife to sew on some velcro to make longer straps. It was pretty simple. She only needed to sew on the scratchy part of the velcro to the straps because the velcro 'hooks' very well to the original splint fabric. Much better than the velcro that came with the splint. See photo.This splint fits me like a glove any REALLY helps to relieve pressure as well as gently stretch the tendons in a good way. Note: this splint is not for walking but it protects/prevents your tendons on your heel from digging into the foot rest of a recliner. If you can sleep with it on your heel will feel better in the morning. Better than if you didn't wear it. But for newbies they should start with a short amount of time and build up to it.Sorry for the novel but I feel compelled to share my success with those who want to skip the cortisone shots.I bought a few items on Amazon to help cure my ailment. In order of effectiveness:1. arch supports2. foot splint3. lacrosse ball4. paint roller which I already hadIt took six month's to completely heal my heel but I did it with no cortisone shots. It might've healed even sooner if I did less walking but I chose to walk at lunch time now and then during these six months.Arch supports:Natural Foot Orthotics Stabilizer Arch Support Insoles for Plantar Fasciitis by Natural Foot Orthotics. You might think its crazy to spend $100.00 on a couple pieces of plastic but they worked wonders for me. They redistribute your weight to the arch area and reduce the weight on your heal. Be sure to follow the instructions about building up wear time slowly until you adjust to them. The first time I wore them it felt like I had a log in my shoe. Three days letter they felt like a glove.You get great customer service from this store. The first ones I tried were the wrong size (too flat) and too small for my foot. The owner let me swap them for free for a different size and height. I was concerned it would be hard to use these supports in the many pairs of shoes I wear because I thought I would need to anchor them into position with adhesive or velcro. Not the case. I use nothing to anchor them down and I don't remove the soles inside my shoes. I just take a little extra time when putting my shoes on to make sure the supports are back against the heal. I get very little slippage. However, you might find you need to buy bigger shoes to accomodate the arch support and your foot. I was lucky. I already wear big shoes to get a larger toe box so my shoes work ok with these supports. Warning. These supports are hard plastic not rubber. I only use them for walking not running. I'm 63 yrs old. 235 lbs and walk about 2 miles per day with these supports in sneakers. I wear a size 12 4E sneaker to get the width and toe box room but my foot is only 11 inches long. Think duck feet. I wear a size 12 W arch support. The tan one not the black one. The tan ones have a higher arch. I plan to wear these supports for a very long time even though my plantar's fasciitis is gone.Foot Splint:Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint by Vive - Soft Medical Brace Boot for Heel Spurs, Foot Pain, Heel Pain, Achilles Inflammation & Soreness Reliefhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00YZ7CUZC/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1This splint prevents your foot from pointing your toes while you sleep which in turn prevents the tendons and ligaments on the back of your leg from shrinking and tightening. I bought the XL size. I wore the splint at least half the night and sometimes all night. Also wore it in my recliner. When you wake up, massage briefly the back of your leg near your heal plus your achilles tendon and your calf muscle to loosen it before you take your first step.On the nights I chose not to wear the splint I experienced more pain in the morning. I had much less pain on those first steps of the day when I wore the splint all night. The velcro gets a little weak over time but I learned to live with it.Lacrosse BallResultSport Trigger Point Massage Ball Set Pack of 3 (Soft/Medium/Hard) - Stress Reflexology, Myofasical Ball, Exercise Ball, Lacrosse Ballhttps://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SEG8U2M/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1They are hard which I found to be just what I needed. While sitting in a chair I ran the ball under my arch and heal. Sometimes I pressed firmly which I think brought fresh blood to the area plus loosened the ligaments.Sometimes I stood up while using it when I wanted to press harder.Paint Roller with 2 foot extension handle:I placed my knee on my bed which comes up to the middle of my quad. Then used the paint roller to press/roll on the back of my calf, achilles tendon and down to my heal. This loosened and lengthened the tendon which took pressure off the heal area where my pain was. A masseuse sure beats a paint roller but this was a cheap alternative.

This is the third night splint I've used so far in treating my plantar fasciitis. I tried a dorsal type split first. It was the most comfortable to wear, and it did help a bit, but it's effectiveness was compromised the fact that it kept slipping out of position, allowing my foot to flex more at night than it should. Next I tried a "best seller" that has hard plastic on the bottom and back. It stayed on okay but was too uncomfortable for sleeping - the hard plastic would press against my other let and it was hard to find a comfortable sleeping position. This brace has been the best so far, but it's not without it's drawbacks.Pros:-It keeps my foot in the right position and has provided relief from morning pain. It seems to have helped with overall healing.-The soft padding on the brace makes it easier to find a comfortable resting position for my other foot & leg.-I tend to have cold feet and this keeps my foot warm.Cons:-The foot part seems to be about 3-inches longer than necessary, making the whole thing rather clumsy and difficult to turn under the covers. I find myself waking up at night when I need to rollover, because I need to consciously make room for the foot and brace to turn.-The Velcro straps need to stick to the "mouse fur" covering for the brace to stay in place. After several weeks of use, the one strap started to pop loose. I ended up having to buy some Velcro "loop" fabric and sewing it to the part of the strap where the "hook" part of the Velcro attaches. It now stays secure, but it was a hassle.So, in the end, this brace is helping me, but I keep thinking there has to be something better out there.
