Sports reviews of Swede-O Deluxe Padded Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint, Colors May Vary
Customer Review: Great but...
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
I love this item - only caveat is another reviewer mentioned it runs large and I didn't listen. It's way to big for my foot. I should've gone for the smaller one, but instead I tried to play it safe and go with the sizing provided in the description. Still, it works GREAT. Helps alleviate the pain right away!Customer Review: Size matters.
Sport shop rating: 4 Stars
Make sure you order a smaller size. It is so huge it twists and turns around. It is very soft and nice I just wish I read the reviews first and bought a smaller size.Customer Review: Comfortable but very bulky
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I bought this night splint because of the reviews I found on Amazon. There are 2 issues that made this splint unwearable for me. The first is that the sizes are off. Mine was way too big for me, so if you are considering this splint be sure to order a size small. Because of that issue my foot was not stablized during the night. I had to constantly push my foot down to the bottom of the splint, even then my leg would slide up. I made the straps as tight as I could but it did little to alleviate the problem. The second issue is the bulk of the splint. I would get so frustrated during the night trying to move to my side or back. I would end up kicking it off in the middle of the night just so I could go back to sleep.
It does work if you can get over the bulkiness of the splint, but I just couldn't. It is comfortable, even moreso I am sure if it fits properly. I am going to try switching to something I can actually wear all night long.
Customer Review: Good quality
Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
This splint is of good quality and is fairly comfortable. The challenge is that doesn't really keep the best position for me. I do agree with some other reviewers that noted that the sizes run a bit large. I had intended on buying the size the company noted, but I did go down a size. In fact, I could have gone down two sizes. My foot does turn and slip in the boot. I solved this by adding a bit of padding. While I think this split is more comfortable than others, it doesn't really keep a good stretch for me. I have also tried the "toe-pullers" without success. My new plan is to use this splint, incorporate exercises and wear my custom orthotics. I believe a combination is the best solution.Customer Review: Too Floppy
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I bought this night splint last year for chronic heel pain. I was hoping it would help stretch my lower calf muscle, which was very tight. While the splint was comfortable, it did not hold my foot at a ninety degree angle. The splint has no strap near the ankle so my heel kept sliding up. I wore the device for four or five months but it did nothing for the heel pain. This is the second splint I've tried. The first was the sock-type thing that yanked on my big toe. I don't recommend that one either.
