Swedish Style AFO by Alpha Medical, Padded Calf Ankle Foot Orthosis, Foot Drop Brace L1930 (S/M Left)

I ordered both the left and right foot at the same time from the same vendor, yet they came from two different locations and were shipped differently (one came to the Amazon locker, the other came in the USPS regular mail). Since we didn't know it was being brought to the front door by the mailman, we didn't know we had to be home. Fortunately, we were. That was an unpleasant surprise. You should know that driving is unsafe with the AFOs on. You can't press the pedals correctly since the AFO keeps you from pointing your toes down. Depending on your medical condition, either put the AFOs on when you arrive at your destination, or have someone else drive you. But the AFO itself works great and I haven't fallen with them on. But don't get overconfident!

Es bueno pero muy bajito de pierna y dientes que no te sostiene bien.

This brace was so good at helping me with my moderate foot drop that I bought a second one. It is virtually identical to one I was offered at the doctor's office, but at 1/10 the price. It needed a little customization to remove some bits of sharp plastic and to fit well in my narrow shoes, but that will be the case with anything like this. Overall, very satisfied.

I bought this product for drop foot after several back surgeries. I do like that it has a padded calf strap and that it does not go all the way up to my knee like my other one does. This one hits right below my calf muscle. The reason I gave it one stars is that the foot part and the heel is very narrow. So narrow that it is cutting into my foot on both sides of my heel. Unless you have very narrow feet, this will not be comfortable at all.

I have a medical problem with my lower legs and my feet. I had to order both left and right braces. They are very comfortable to wear all day. They help keep me from falling to the ground. They work well with my walking crutches. They are much more better than the metal ones for me. I'm very happy with the product.

I like that these braces are light as a feather. I have had custom made AFO's in the past and they were big and bulky, however, being professionally made - and after buying and experiencing these - I can see, by far, the benefits of custom made braces. I had to do some filing with a dremmel tool in the heal space because it cut into my heal. I felt like I needed a much bigger size than XL ( wear size 8.5 medium and have calf sizes of 21"), but didn't see anything bigger available. For the price, they're ok, but I wouldn't get them if you have large calves. Custom braces also have an ankle strap and these do not. That makes a difference in my confidence and ability to walk. I have charcot-marie-tooth and foot drop.

It seems like a decent quality, however, unless you have skinny calves, don't buy this brace. The calf section is really narrow. Just about fits my arm. See photos.

I ordered this brace as a replacement for the old one I had for several years. I'm Happy to say the new brace fits my foot and ankle much better than the old brace! The new brace has padding around the calf area, and it is a lot more comfortable when compared to the hard plastic piece around the calf on my old brace. I think this brace is made of durable plastic and will last me for several years.
