Swedish AFO Deluxe (Men Left)

The product could do with a bit more lift back towards the foot from the toes to hold the foot up more

The opening on the heel makes shoes hard to get on and off. The vertical portion by the ankle is not stiff enough, It’s quite flimsy. The shipping time was ridiculously long. For something temporary while I wait for my custom one to be built, it works fair.

Ordered this for my husband. He's had a left dropped foot for 20 years. He's always worn a custom made orthotic from the medical supplier. $500+. He would be reluctant to wear in summer cause it's too obvious.... In any case, I thought it was time to search on Amazon.... Amazon did not disappoint me. I ordered this orthotic and he loves it. Feels like he has nothing on. It's super comfortable w the padding around the top. The only negative is that the securing band slips a bit. No big deal, just have to adjust when that happens. My husband wears an 11w shoe or sneaker and this fits perfectly w room to spare. I did not have to cut anything off. The price was very affortable. If it only lasted a year, we'd still love it and would just order it again and again. It's also a good 2/3 inches lower than the original orthotic. The only other improvement would be if it were made in a skin tone. It would be even less noticeable. BTW.... my husband wears it on top of his sock, so sock is next to his skin. It will avoid possible skin irritation. It's a win-win item. Worth every penny; no tripping, fits in shoes & sneakers; not clumsy; affordable; not so high up the calf.... GREAY ITEM. Give it a try!

These braces are very effective for assisting with walking for those with Drop Foot. However, because the hooked side of the Velcro tab is the exact width of the band it is to be attached to the Velcro band must be attached EXACTLY right or else it causes skin abrasions; not easy to fasten it perfectly when doing it yourself. A simple fix was to trim off about 1/4 inch from each side right up to the soft fabric band. Hopefully the manufacturer will see this and remedy the product.

They did an excellent job of correcting my foot drop condition. They were lightweight, easy to use, and achieved immediate results. Unfortunately, on my right leg the device rubbed the back of my Achilles tendon and caused a blister. I had to stop using them and purchased devices that are not worn near the back of the ankle.
