Review: Excellent foot brace - Not sure where to start but my wife developed foot drop after a hip surgery. The orthopedic brace that was prescribed worked well as, what I would call, a first degree brace. There was no foot mobility or flexure but it offered stability while improving basic walking skill. Luckily, the brace broke and the break location indicated that my wife was flexing her foot and arch more than the brace would allow. We tried 3 other brace types, both less and more expensive, and none worked any better until we tried the Step-Smart Foot Brace. The three levels of tension inserts are a simple and excellent advantage. My wife is now on the strongest level, walking mostly without a cane and feels that her foot and ankle are stronger because of this brace. Even her orthopedic surgeon was impressed with her improvement. If your foot drop condition is improvable or you want to see if it can improve, I would recommend this brace. And the price is reasonable considering others can cost close to $1000.
Review: Fabulous for foot drop! - I had full left hip replacement in Dec 2021, after waking up from surgery I discovered my left foot had foot drop. In the last 7 months I have tried 5 different daytime braces, and this is by far the best because it is dynamic and works with my foot/leg perfectly. I read all the reviews and noticed that others got blisters, I did too but it happened with all the braces. Understanding that your body weight, gate and compensation to your normal step will make getting used to any brace is going to happen. All braces help your Dorsey flexing and push your toes forward and up, in hopes you don’t trip and fall. This new “position “ is off enough from your original position that the toe bones and pads are hitting in different tender spots typically not used to being directly stepped on. This takes time and getting used to. I personally love this brace, as much as I hated having to wear it, and getting used to it was no different that any other medication conditions where we make adjustments to the way we used do things. I can walk almost 100% normally with it on, I don’t trip, fall or feel unstable at all.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Some people say that you can drive with this brace. Is this is possible, and is there anyway to press down past 90 degrees when dorsiflexing the ankle**
A: I've had this brace for 5 years (right foot) and I drive daily with it. It's the only AFO brace that's worked for me because it allows for ankle flexion.

**Q: Will this brace not allow me to walk up on the ball of my foot?  That's what I need--to walk heal--toe or flat footed.**
A: This brace does allow for a natural gait pattern of heel strike followed by the rest of the foot.  Our 3/4 length foot plate allows the front of the foot to bend as you walk.
If you have any questions or concerns after receiving the brace please just reach out to us- and know that you can return it if it's not the right product for you.

**Q: What is the return policy(trial period)?**
A: Since this is fulfilled by Amazon, it should have a 30-day return period. Link: https://www.amazon.com/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeId=15015721

**Q: Would this help someone that needs to squat and bend a lot? Like a construction worker?**
A: If you mean is this Drop Foot Brace better than others for someone who has to bend and crouch a lot, the answer is yes.  The reason being is that the brace itself is much shorter than many conventional drop foot braces which come up just below the knee and can cause pinch or obstruction to a crouch or squat position.

### ⭐ Painful
*by G***N on June 22, 2022*

It’s been three weeks since returning the brace and I still have a bruise and scab on my calf. It’s super sturdy, but bulky and just way too harsh of a load on the back of the leg.
