Buyer Beware!
I bought the splint for plantar fasciitis to replace the one my doctor provided after it had gone through some wear and tear. The Procare splint did not fit well and did not stay in place throughout the night. Having worn a splint before and knowing how it should properly fit, I contacted the seller to return their product and was told, after contacting them twice before I got a response, that they do not accept returns. I highly recommend not buying this splint.

Holy guacamole Batman, this sucker actually works!
I have suffered from plantar fasciitis on and off for several years. This latest episode, involved not just arch pain, but ongoing heel pain, to the point that getting out of bed was an agony. After doing some research, I came across this boot and decided to give it a try. After only one night, I set up in bed this morning and took the boot off, and then gingerly stepped out of bed. Imagine my surprise and delight, when I was actually able to walk to the bathroom with no heel pain for the first time in about a month. Now I realize it's only been one night, but still, if these are the results I can expect on an ongoing basis, this may well be one of the best purchases I've ever made. I wear a women's size 9 shoe, and I purchased the medium boot, which fits perfectly. I will update this review in a couple of days and let everyone know if the cure seems to hold. To those who say that the boots slips, I will say that you do need to put the boot on while your knee is bent. Further, after about 5 to 10 minutes, you need to adjust and tighten the straps. I usually lay down about an hour before I actually turn off my light and go to bed. So I was able to adjust the straps twice before I turned the light off to go to sleep. The tighter you can make them, especially across the top of the foot and across the ankle, the better the boot will stay in place. And yes it is bulky, but come on people, it's a foot boot.

This is my fourth style of similar products.
Like all the others I’ve tried, it takes a little getting used to. But this is the most comfortable and therefore works the best... gotta be willing to wear it for it to work.

ProCare ProWedge Night Splint
I’ve been having pain in the bottom of my heel for several months (Plantar Fasciitis). Although using my feet to roll a ball around on the floor, & even using ice packs has helped somewhat, this night splint has been just what I needed. The pain has been severely reduced when wearing it to bed — although it is a bit difficult to get used to at first, and when sitting for an extended time. This was recommended to me by my sister-in-law & I now recommend it as well. The only thing that I would change is that I bought a large boot — & now I wish that I had gotten the medium instead. However, this boot has helped me greatly.

DO NOT BUY
This boot is too heavy and bulky. Made part of my foot go numb because of the weight of it, and moreover it caused knee and lower back pain because of its heavy weight. Also, no matter how tight you tighten the straps it does not stay on. It is loose and just so bulky. Pass on this and try something else. This item not only DOES NOT WORK, but will cause you even more problems then you started with. There is no way a review that says anything differently can be an honest one. Moreover, I tried to return and they WOULD NOT ACCEPT!! They do not allow returns, so save your money. Wish I would have. This is a SCAM, thinking I should report this company to the Better Business Bureau.

Great night splint
I have a recurring case of plantar fasciitis, which hits about every 5 years. Due to the pandemic, I'm working at home and was able to limit my walking until I got into physical therapy. My podiatrist didn't prescribe a night brace, but my physical therapist suggested that it might help with early morning pain. Despite reading all the negative reviews, and acknowledging that these are not returnable, I took a chance and ordered this brace. Glad I did. This boot is as comfortable as reasonably possible - after 2 nights, I was sleeping through to the morning. The brace holds my foot at ninety degrees and I wake with much less pain.Note that this is not a walking boot and is not designed for that purpose. The build quality is similar to orthopedic aids that are professionally prescribed (I've past surgery).Echoing what others have said: if you are between two sizes, definitely go smaller. I wear an 11M shoe and wish the large-size boot fit more tightly. I used this boot for about 5 weeks and it worked very well for me.

Good fit and quality.
I bought this splint to help with my plantar fasciitis. It seems well built, is comfortable to wear and my heel feels better in the morning.

Hospital grade
I had medical trauma and ended up in a coma. The medical team had me wear these because of the damage sustained to my body, nerve damage, and drop foot. I threw them out after a year thinking I didn't need them anymore since I wasn't wearing them, and 6 years later I realized how dumb that was. I ordered these and they are exact to the ones the hospital gave me. They are comfortable and do help ease the pain. Plus, there's an added bonus of when you have these on people need to help you because you shouldn't walk in them. My son has been helping me out so much now. It's awesome! I don't take advantage of this, but when he has his day of ignoring me bevsuse he's a teen, these are perfect. Really ham it up too mama's. You deserve to be treated well 😘

Amazing
I’ve had a sore sole for 8 months since I pulled a muscle in my foot. I’ve had monthly sport massages which feel really beneficial but the first time I felt no or little pain while walking is after using this. The sports therapist lent me one and then I bought one for my dad as he has a sore foot too. I’ve been using it now for 4 weeks every night and it’s amazing. I’d bought prescribed insoles which where so uncomfortable and created more pain and a total waste of money! Try this before insoles please!

I have plantar fasciitis and I have the worst pain at nights
I have plantar fasciitis and I have the worst pain at nights, well also during the day, but it can be so unbareable come bedtime! So I thought try this after asking in a group what splint everyone uses. This one looked the most comfortable as well. It is comfortable at night, I have slept in it, I did take it off halfway through the night a couple of times. One time my toes seemed to have no feeling, I think I had pulled the strap too tight there, but I was finding my foot was slipping hence tightening it. But overall, it helps so it is worth the money to actually get some sleep in my opinion. It keeps the foot in the position it needs to be in to stop that awful pain! I'm only giving 4 stars just because it does make my foot slip a little and getting the solid underfoot piece in isn't as easy as it looks because of the velcro.

Softfitting and brillant to sleep in
The splint is extremely comfortable and so easy to put on. For once, I don't need to watch You Tube for instructions!!! Keeps the foot, ankle and leg stable. I wear a soft sock underneath and I have no problem sleeping. Definitely worth the money!

If you need night splints - these are fabby!!
Hallelujah! A night splint that doesn’t cut off circulation to my feet or give me pressure sores! I’ve been stuck in braces for over 9 months now (ruptured Achilles in both legs) and these braces have been an epiphany! I can sleep without any of the pain associated with more popular but way more difficult-to-fit splints!

It works!
I was in a lot of pain with plantar fasciitis, particularly on rising in the morning. This really is helping a lot. I wear it for an hour or so before bed and so far it’s doing the trick. You can wear it to bed but at the moment I don’t need to. Thank you x
