So far, so good
My heel has been killing me for almost 3 years and nothing has worked yet to alleviate it, including a nighttime boot and a few different kinds of compression socks.  So I was dubious about this splint; but after just a few nights, the heel pain in my foot is almost imperceptible in the morning.  (It comes back over the course of the day, but that's expected.)  So yeah, it works and works well/fast.  It's kind of a production to put on and take off, but it's snug and not irritating; and it's fairly easy to adjust the tightness.<br /><br />There are 2 things I don't like about it when I have to walk around; however I realize the splint's not optimized for walking, so I can't complain too much.  (1) The metal strip digs into the top of my foot when I pick it up to move it.  Very uncomfortable.  I suspect this is a problem more for people with longer feet.  (2) all the various straps and velcros that go under the foot make it hard to walk/hobble on it in general.<br /><br />Overall, I'm very glad I bought it.  I wear it both to bed and while relaxing on the couch for more than 20 minutes.  The improvement in my heel pain has been substantial, and I'm hoping that within a few weeks it will be gone altogether.
