This is a review of the plantar fasciitis stretch splint or night brace. I've been trying them and finally found one I felt worthy of a great review. Oddly enough, it's the cheapest I've found so far. Plantar Fasciitis is heel or arch pain that comes from a tight fascia, the muscle that runs from about the big toe to your heel.

Putting it on is easy.

The plantar fasciitis stretch splints work. But most of them have
the side effect of making me a raving lunatic.

They work. Most of them work on my foot problem. Unfortunately, I become a suicide bomber waiting to explode in the process because I can't sleep with what feels like a ski boot on my foot at night. So I really just ran across the Futuro plantar fasciitis night brace and liked it's lightweight look and gave it a try.

Lightweight and easy to sleep with, it does the job for a
great price.

Trying to sleep with the bulkier, hotter braces was too difficult but this lightweight night stretch splint is ideal. The idea is to keep your foot's fascia muscle stretched at night so you don't have heel and/or arch pain. And it does the trick.

You put it on like a sock and adjust the velcro straps and that's it. I did not find it hot and it was $32 at my local drugstore, and about that with shipping and handling online. I use this brace in combination with the kinesio tape, stretching, dansko shoes.

It fits right or left foot

It does. I tried it on both. While this brace is reasonably priced, I have to admit the research and development to find one that allowed me to sleep comfortably and did the job was not. Many of the braces are expensive enough to make you think twice. I can get up and go the the bathroom without breaking my neck, too, which is a benefit.

About those arch supports.

I asked a couple of doctors about the arch supports and most of them did not sing the praises of these supports as being beneficial for the problem of plantar fasciities and arch or heel pain.

So why don't you write reviews on all of them?

I'm not here to pan a product. All the braces work. I'm here to tell you which one did ad great job and was the easiest and least bothersome to sleep with. I won't be wearing this to a fashion runway show but I can wear it to sleep and get cured in the process. Good arch support is key. I've not gotten an orthotic yet.

The other one that looks good is the plantar fasciities stretch splint by bauerfeind. All of those bauerfeind products are really good, anatomically smart and very effective. And the doctors and physical therapists I talk to like these products as well.
