ineffective by K. Gaither (Streetsboro, OH United States)  1 Stars
October 04, 2009
I have planar faciitis and my doctor gave me a boot for night wearing. The boot my doctor provided is rather large but really does help. I purchased this soft boot because I figured it was smaller and easier to pack when I am traveling for work. Sadly it is not effective at all. Without a stiff bottom or back, it is easy to point my toe which it is supposed to prevent. I do NOT recommend it even for traveling.

Be careful by Terri L. Takacs (Ct) 1 Stars

This was pricey ~ could not be returned ~ and was not true to size. We were stuck with one that was too small. Not worth the risk.

I should have listened to other reviewers . . . by R. Baker (Northern Virginia, USA) 1 Stars
February 07, 2009
I puchased this product more on hope than hearsay. And I was wrong. While the basic concept seems like it would work (and with a few design changes it probably would), the "comfort factor" was a letdown and as a result the product is not wearable. While the velcro strap does indeed stretch the plantar fascia, it does so at the very uncomfortable expense of cramping the toes. After 10 or 15 minutes, I had to remove the FXT. I definitely could not sleep in it. Also, as others have stated, it has no breathability and your foot sweats while wearing. In summary, look elsewhere for a night-splint type product to stretch out your plantar fascia ligaments.

Wanted to like it but.... by G. Unger 1 Stars
October 03, 2008
Well I wanted to like it and really thought it might work and to be fair it may have worked if I wore it every night but it hurt to wear, was unconfortable, woke me up in the middle of the night in toe pain and was a little warm. I tried many different ways of making sure it was loose but it always slipped back tight onto my toes. My girlfriend wore them for her foot problems and within 2 months she said her pain had abated completed!

Not much stretch by C. Scott (Dallas TX)  3 Stars
August 27, 2008
A great idea, but just didn't work for me. #1-I did not get much stretch from it. The picture shows the toe really stretch, but since its made out of soft material, I got hardly any stretch from it. #2-I tend to flip in several positions during sleep (back, side and stomach), so it was extemely uncomfortable when I was sleeping on my stomach and I ended up taking it off. It works ok when I'm watching TV or relaxing reading a book, but not so great for sleeping - at least not for moi.
