Dosh AFO Foot Drop Brace - Drop Foot Brace for Walking - AFO - Unisex (Black)

I purchased one of these almost a year ago. This brace was one of 5 different braces I purchased designed to help with foot drop, and the Dosh brace turned out to be the most effective and most comfortable of them all! Needless to say, after wearing this support for 11 months, it was getting kind of worn, so I bought a new one. I noticed little 'improvements' that actually made this support brace even more effective and more comfortable. It was refreshing that the new brace was even better than the one I bought last year! A pleasant and uncommon surprise. Having to deal with foot drop makes walking difficult, as anyone who has it can affirm. This particular brace makes functioning with foot drop a bit easier. Thank you to the makers of this well made, comfortable and useful product.

I have this on right now. Referred by my pain management doctor for my back, this is very helpful with drop foot. It has just enough pressure to help me walk better and without fear of falling. Very easy to wear, easy to put on, and great fit! Helps me with stability issues.

Not what I was expecting! I was dislead by the buckle/ clip. I thought it would completely detach from the ankle strap allowing the strap to remain on the shoe. This is not the case. The clip allows you to avoid adjust the strap but it still must be thread through the shoe laces each time you place the shoe on. Since I have poor finger dexterity, I was hoping this wasn’t the case. It seems to be of good quality. It will help with drop foot if I can a ply the device.

This brace is perfect for my husband who has had undiagnosed trouble with his swinging gait and drop foot for over 7 years. He has been to neurologists who can’t help him, and is now in PT. The PT suggested we get a brace to help him with better biomechanics, and I was happy I chose this one. Oddly, when he first put it on his sneaker, we were surprised he automatically bent his knee and walked forward more normally. It helps him walk more straight and quickly instead of his usual gait where he locks his knee which causes his leg to swing out sideways with each step. Getting another one to attach to his golf shoe so he doesn’t have to keep undoing for different shoes. On the golf course with the brace, he can play an entire round without as much fatigue from hills. He can also carefully walk up a flight of stairs with the brace helping his knee bend. So far, he’s used it for about 2 weeks and hasn’t tripped with it. We’re taking a vacation in a few months which requires walking tours and will definitely bring this with us. We only expected it would help with tripping from catching his toes on the ground and don’t understand why it also helps his knee bend but we’re happy it does! He can have quality of life back.

The first thing other customers should know is: don't buy this product. I've had foot drop for over 14 years and this does not even come close to being an acceptable brace. It was impossible to properly orient the wrap-around part. The part that is supposed to be slipped under one of the shoelaces and then latched, is way too short. This product is poorly designed, very difficult to use, and is essentially useless.

I have had foot drop for about 5 years now. I have a plastic brace from an orthopedic company which goes up the length of my calf and you have to wear a huge shoe with it. I found this afo solution by dosh on Amazon. The price was right so I gave it a try. It has given me more freedom and I can wear normal shoes. It has provided more normalcy in my life. I am on my second order of these. This first ones were good for 2 years and were still working but the velcro was getting somewhat worn. I just got my second pair (one each in beige and black). I will continue to reorder these as I need them.

I have a drop foot and the brace serves its purpose, but after a few months, the Velcro becomes weaker and the brace becomes useless.

This AFO is by far the most comfortable that I have used, and it gives me good support. It feels almost like "normal" walking. The fabric is more comfortable than that used by similar brands. I'm reaching my step goal of 10,000 many days, and enjoying my walks again! I purchased one several months ago, and just purchased three more to be able to keep them attached to various shoes. I will add, though, that while this is great for mild to moderate foot drop, I am doubtful that it would provide adequate support for more severe cases. I'm quite grateful to the individuals who manufacture this AFO.
