AFO Foot Drop Brace for Walking with Shoes, Drop Foot Brace with Reel-Adjust Dorsiflexion Assist, Adjustable Foot Brace for Drop Foot Support, Fits Left or Right Foot for Women Men (S/M)

Kudos to the designers of this product. I first tried a similar design that used a velcro strap that connected the ankle piece to the shoelace. Found that that there was so much stretching in all the pieces involved (including the shoelace) that I was forever re-adjusting the velcro strap, and this was cumbersome as well as shoe dependent. My second purchase with the metal wires and easy- twist adjustment knob solved the previous problems. There is still some stretch, but it is much less, and it literally takes me 2 seconds to twist the adjustment wheel to re-tighten . I have used this newer product for over two months and am so happy with it.

Great product, I do recommend using with shoes made of sturdy material. My shoes are a soft neoprene type which is fairly stretchy and I foresee issues plus the brace would be more effective with a sturdy material.I used 2 zip ties in a cross pattern to make more sturdy but i will be getting something different made of leather and with metal grommets for shoe lace holes.

Works as it supposed to. Will stabilize your foot to a more neutral position to eliminate "foot drop", but not much more than a neutral position.A couple of comments:1) In order for the device to work it, your shoelaces need to be tight. The device works by pulling on your shoes laces (forefoot area) up towards your shin.2) It won't be as effective with shoes that have laces high up on the foot, like mens dress shoes.3) To reduce the stretch on the last lace loop, I thread the hooking device under the laces above the lowest loop, then hooked over the lowest loop and tightened. This reduced the stretch on the lowest loop and didn't require me to tighten the device as much.4) The ankle portion needs to be snug, but if you over tighten, it becomes uncomfortable. It should be snug enough to not easily move, but not so tight that you cause a skin imprint area after a few minutes.5) A found the most effective way was to put on the device, push on the ball of my foot toward my shin, then tighten the device to achieve the best "neutral" position.Overall a good, inexpensive device that will improve your faotdrop. Recommend.

I was offered a carbon fiber brace from Sweden - large, very expensive, and unpleasant to walk with. this item from Amazon was inexpensive, easy to use and easy to walk with.

Easy to put on and comfortable

Do not purchase. The fabric that goes through the metal piece tore after four wears. The fabric is incredibly thin and made of weak material. I am now left on vacation without something to assist with foot drop.

This is an excellent AFO brace. Solidly built with a safe and effective attachment to the laces of my shoe. The other braces I tried had a Velcro attachment which over time would slip and become unattached. This brace has a solid hook which grips the lace and stays in place to make the AFO more effective. Would definitely recommend to anyone needing an AFO to help with their gait and safety while walking.

Shoe must have laces.
