Swedish AFO (Men Left)

a great replacement for a prescribed one and a whole lot less money

Straps slopy fit as you can see in photo . The hook portion should be also on the entire strap so the loop can attatch and secure the extra length of straping. Poor design or just cheap cost cutting design

He's getting older and needs help moving around.

I've been buying this style of AFO for several years from different vendors. It works great for me and prevents my foot from dropping and avoids tripping. I would highly recommend it to anyone with foot drop issues. From my experience, all the suppliers seem to use the exact same plastic part. It is very durable, fits inside my shoe, and is comfortable. The difference between vendors is the velcro strapping used to wrap around the shin. Some are heavily padded, and some are not padded at all. The velcro in the heavily padded ones wears out the fastest, since the little hooks clog up with fuzz. Once that happens, they don't stay attached to my leg, and I have to use a supplemental strap which is a nuisance. I think the strap from this particular supplier will last longer than the others, but might be slightly less comfortable. By the way, the lower strap became unglued immediately and fell off. I can get along without it.

It fits well into sneakers but if you have a narrow foot you slide side to side some do to your socks on plastic. The single anchor point of the bottom strap is easy to pop off.(Rating is 2.5 but that's not a choice.
