I bought this because I have mild drop foot from a nerve injury in my lower leg, and walking on the hard floor all day with my altered gait was causing a painful callous to form. This provides adequate support for use around the home (I'm not convinced of its long-term or outdoor usefulness), mainly the benefit for me is the cushioning that allows me to walk around without pain or having to wear shoes indoors (which is uncommon in Canadian households). I haven't tried it with shoes, but it seems compact enough to wear with them, although I think I would just need inserts.

I purchased the foot strap because I had hip surgery and ended up with nerve damage in the foot resulting in a foot drop. Without the strap, I had a difficult time sleeping because it was uncomfortable and awkward. I tried sleeping with my custom AFO but it’s made from hard, durable materials which serves me well during the day but quite the opposite for sleeping. The softness and structure of the strap allows me to move around freely in bed without any discomfort (unlike my AFO). The strap is very easy to apply, very light weight, adjustable, soft, washable and incredibly comfortable. I definitely prefer wearing the insert (optional) as well because it provides me with that little bit of extra stability. I’ve been wearing my foot strap device every night since I’ve purchased it. I highly recommend it for anyone who is looking for a comfortable and soft foot support especially for night time use or for relaxed lounging. I also love that it’s heel-less. I developed a pressure ulcer on the back of my heel due to the drop foot shortly after surgery. The strap, being without a heel, prevents any pressure on my heel thus enabling my ulcer to heal up!! I highly recommend this product and wouldn’t hesitate to purchase it again.

I used it for a few weeks and my foot got better, it fits in your shoe as long as you can loosen the laces.
