Bledsoe PFS Plantar Fasciitis Strap - Size Medium

I dont want to rate this too low as i think it is effective (similar to Taping i had been doing, but without wearing on my skin as daily taping eventually does!), but I do have 2 disappointments I am surprised other reviewers did not note:1. I received this 2 weeks ago and I'm surprised it is already showing signs of wear getting "fuzzies" where i attach the Velcro. Something i would expect from a 15 dollar brace but not a 40 dollar one... not this soon!2. The instructions and reviewers both did not metion the risk of putting this on too tight. I did that the first day and it caused all kinds of problems. As anyone with PF should know by now, the PF tendon is directly connected to muscles/tendons in your calf (hence, the stretches) Having this too tight wound up causing severe calf cramping for a few days.I find i often have to fiddle with it to get it "just right" at which point i have satisfactory comfort. That would suggest products that you cant adjust are unlikely to work well for very many people.

This was a great idea... And as other customers have stated, don't put it in too tight. I couldn't wear it in a midtop hiking boot as the wrap was too thick across the ankle. But for standard shoes it was perfect. Only had it a few weeks and starting to lose it's shape... I wear it constantly even in bed but I suppose that's to be expected. A bit too pricey.... I could probably make my own.

It helps plantar fasciitis for sure. But I found kinesiology tape more effective and more comfortable. The K tape will end up being more expensive though, if you need to wear it often.

I have plantar fasciitis in both feet and it's too painful to walk normally. I put these on and instantly felt improvement. Right away, I was able to walk more normally, taking the abnormal pressure off of the other parts of my feet. I've been wearing them for weeks now and they still help. I don't know about long-term changes, but I'm going to keep wearing these and find out!

The adjustable straps around the ankle and under the arch allow the wearer to put the support in the right area. Not too bulky so can be worn with almost all shoes.

Easy to put on, but didn't really solve my problem. I bought it because my sister got it from her podiatrist. She really like it though.

Great product for those who don't want the shot. The support is wondeful and your heel feels great all day long.

no problems
