Customer Reviews of Futuro Plantar Fasciitis Sleep Support
Customer Review: Worked the first month only
Summary: 1 Stars
At first these braces worked, but became clumsy as they would turn in sleep and you cannot turn in your sleep or they would twist. The pain never stopped only slowed, the first month of using these I was able to get out of bed in the morning. I used a cream called Topricin that worked great. At first I used the cream three to five times a day and worked it down it three times a day. Tried walker inserts, helped. But nothing took it away until...I started the HGC diet. Just as Dr. Simeon said, "within 10 days those who had pain in their feet, it disappeared" It has been 1 full year since I first did HCG and I am still pain free. So if you have at least 20 pounds to lose and can do the HCG diet, I completely recommend it. I called my naturopath asked what she thought of the diet and she told me she has been on it three weeks and lost 16 pounds. I bought the drops from her for $25 for a 2oz bottle that last for 4 weeks of the diet. I have lost 46 pounds in two phase 2-6 week rounds plus the three weeks of phase 3 each. I'm happy now I not only lost weight but I can walk and no more excruciating feet pain. But if you would like to try the Futuro Plantar Supports I'll sell mine at half the price!Customer Review: I didn't believe it would work, but it did.

When I bought this item I didn't believe it would work but I had to try it. I have been suffering with Plantar Fascitis for the last year. In my right foot for 8 months and then my left foot for the past 6 months. So tired of it. I bought new special insoles, new supportive shoes,did stretching exercises, taping my foot, ice on my foot, took pills, stopped walking and took up biking instead, but still had pain. Someone I know told me to try a boot at night. I thought not much to lose. First few nights it was hard to get use to sleeping with it. Had to play with the adjustments to get it right, not too tight (so your foot falls to sleep) and not to lose (so it falls off). After the fourth night, no pain in the morning and my foot felt rested most of the day. I would put it on if I was going to sit or lay down for awhile. It's been two weeks and 95% of the pain is gone. I still wear it at night, just to make sure. I am now do things I haven't been able to do in a long time, mowing the lawn and taking long walks. I love it. I think it was just the last little thing that made the differences. I still think you need to do a lot of the other things that I did also but this is worth the money.Customer Review: finally pain free
Summary: 5 Stars
I have been unable to walk every morning for months because of the terrible pain in my heel when I walked. Bought this night brace ( it was the cheapest on Amazon) and decided to give it a try. I am a shoe size 8 female and the brace was very easy to attach. It has adjustable strap around your instep and an adjustable strap around the calf. The strap around the calf has 2 different velcro taps to help with adjustment (one on the left and one on the right). I had no problem with the boot staying in place. The boot is NOT designed to stretch the fasciitis, it is designed to hold the foot in a 90 -85 degree angle. At night when you relax your foot during sleep the toes relax and your foot spends 8 hours in a 45 degree angle during which the fasciitis tendon pulls tight.Thus when you wake in the morning it is very painful to walk until you restretch the tendon. This morning when I got out of bed after wearing the brace only ONE night. I could have danced. My foot was pain free. I have been doing the recommended stretchine exercises as well and I finally believe that I will evetually fully recover from this painful experience. I HIGHLY recommend this product.
Customer Review: okay after adjusting for my size
Summary: 4 Stars
I had the same experience with this product as some of the other reviewers; it kept slipping off my leg. I'm a smaller person, and the slots for the upper strap were too high, necessitating a very tight wrap that nevertheless kept slipping. (I don't know why the directions tell you where to place the strap, as its position is clearly fixed by the slots.) As there were no other device options that appealed to me, I simply removed the upper strap, reversed it so that the velcro-type material was on the other side, and wrapped it around the device at a lower point of my ankle/calf. Although it took a bit a practice, and I sometimes had to readjust it after wrapping the toe/ball of foot portion, which I also moved slightly, since the original position would have gone past the end of my toes, it worked quite well. My foot feels much better in the morning now, and, as a person who doesn't like my feet covered, I like that this product covers a minimal part of the bottom of the foot. I only wish that Futuro would make a smaller version for those of us who are of small stature, with smaller feet, as well as some sort of discreet support for daytime.Customer Review: excellent product!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
this product saved me over $130 and did exactly what the dr. reccomended product did if not better! It is comfortable to wear at night (unlike the big boot the dr wants you to pay $150 for ). I felt instant relief of my plantar fasciitis within a few days. It's only been about a month since I began using it and I no longer really need it. I use it once in a while just as a precaution. Prior to using this product I was in pain for almost a year. Therapy wasn't working. The only relief I got was from the dr's cortisone shots which was only temporary at best. Plus you can't get too many of those without suffering permanent damage. I was a second away from getting the surgery (which would have only killed the nerve to stop the excruciating pain). Now I am much better thanxs to this product. I also bought something called an air cast which was also helpful. You can search amazon.com for it but I paid about $56 for it. My last piece of advice for dealing with our flat feet problem is to fork over the money to your dr to have the orthotics made. I havn't done that yet (it's like $700) but that's my next move.
