Size matters.

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.

This really works!

I suffer from Plantar Facistis occasionally. So when my heel started hurting, I knew what was coming.
I tried to do the stretching exercises before getting out of bed, but I still had pain upon arising. So I went online to Amazon to see what they had. I read the reviews and decided to try this.
Well, after a week I can say that this boot works! (I also use inserts and have been wearing better shoes as well.) But in the morning -- no pain upon walking.
Do pay attention to the comments about the sizes. It does run large. I wear a Woman's size 10 and ordered the medium. And even then it seems just a bit large.
It takes some time to get used to when sleeping, but hey, I can handle that better than the shots in the foot!
And, I don't take it off at night when I have to get up and so far it seems to be holding up quite nicely.

Night Splints 101

Some comments about night splints for people with plantar fasciitis:

What's the purpose of a night splint? One of the hallmark symptoms of plantar fasciitis is that you have excruciating pain when you take your first steps in the morning. Why does this happen? Because the plantar fascia TIGHTENS over night as you sleep. So, when you get out of bed and put your bodyweight on your foot, well, this suddenly stretches it and..... ouch!

What does a night splint do and how does it work? Night splints keep the plantar fascia STRETCHED OUT all night. So, because the plantar fasciia STAYS stretched, you can get up in the morning and start walking without pain. Even more importantly, because you haven't stepped on a tight plantar fascia in the morning, which irritates it and damages it even more, you've eliminated further stress- which gives it a chance to heal.

Do they work? Yes. As summarized in the book The 5-Minute Plantar Fasciitis Solution, there are numerous clinical trials that have shown that night splints are indeed quite effective at getting rid of plantar fasciitis.

If you're up for trying this treatment for your plantar fasciitis, be aware that you have to wear a night splint ALL night long for it to really work, so, pick one that looks like something you could actually sleep in. The Swede-O Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint, Gray is a little bulkier than some, such as the Futuro brand- BUT THEY ALL DO THE SAME THING. It's simply a matter of finding the most comfortable one for you. Some of the things I do like about this particular model is:

-has lots of nice soft padding for comfort and protection against skin irritation
-fits either the right or the left foot
-available in different sizes

Swede-o Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint

The night splint is of good qaulity. The problem is the sizing is way off. The directions say to go by your shoe size. Well I wear a size 11 shoe, so that would equal an extra large. Well the extra large was way to big. So I had to pay almost ten dollars to send it back for an exchange. I exchanged it for a large. The large is still a little bit big on my foot, but I am using it, as I don't want to exchange it again. I wish I would have gotten the medium size.
The problem with stuff like this is you really need to try it on. I wear a sock with it to make it fit better.

Good quality

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.
