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

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.

Absolute trash bends at every point no support whatsoever do not waste your money is not going to help you at all it’s surprising they this sell at all.

Straps not very substantial

I have drop foot on my left side and this product helps with keeping my foot elevated so I don’t trip, which is a thing that happens without it. I do use a shoe insert with it and both have provided me with the freedom I need to walk unobstructed. Thank you!!

This brace may work for some people, but not for me the way the heal is constructed.

Thin,light.

Very unattractive, not easy to put on and I think it was too small

Just as pictured
