Review on Enhanced Mobility with Step-Smart Drop Foot Brace for Right Foot - Small/Medium by Chris Burns

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Very versatile AFO, holds up well over time

I love this AFO! I have one for each foot and have been wearing my first ones for over a year with almost no signs of wear. The velcro held up great, as did Jacobs elastomers, two things I thought would go bad quickly. As the information states, it is important to make it easier to wear because, like other orthotics, it needs some adjustment. When I first put it on I found it odd that there was some pressure on the back of my calf and I initially thought it was moving too much but I quickly got used to the feel and support that there is. Wearing an insole over the heel cup is also helpful for added comfort. Unlike my hard carbon fiber AFOs, I have a lot more ankle movement and can squat, lunge, and go down stairs with very little difficulty, all of which keeps my foot from falling off. I also appreciate that many parts of the brace when worn can be replaced via the seller's website (Insightful Products) if not Amazon.

Pros
  • nice item
