Finally got the restful sleep I needed. The cast and heavy dirty boot made sleep tough. If you're recovering from an achilles rupture buy this immediately.
Chad🇺🇸
It literally takes a few secs to put on and remove. Its comfortable as well. Highly recommend.
Vivek🇺🇸
This worked great and kept me from having to wear my big clunky walking boot to bed! So glad I found this. I couldn't sleep with that walking boot at night!! Great product.
Brandon🇺🇸
Nach der OP an der Achillessehne war diese Schiene eine Erleichterung in der Nacht! Würde ich auf alle Fälle empfehlen wenn man wieder durchschlafen möchte!
Afantee🇩🇪
Really useful after my dreadful Achilles tendon tear when I didn't want to wear the boot in bed!
Az🇬🇧
This is a saviour for night time wearing. So much easier than the big boot. Five weeks down and another five or six to go. Would have struggled with the full boot.
John🇬🇧
A great alternative to wearing the walking boot to bed, without worrying about inadvertently straightening or knocking your foot.
Paul🇬🇧
Brilliant device. Arrived the day after it was ordered. Delighted in all respects.
Louise🇬🇧
This product is well designed. It gives good protection to injured Achilles' tendon whilst sleeping. Allows much better sleep compared to the pressure boot.
