Ortho Heal Pneumatic Air Brace for Plantar Fasciitis, Achilles Tendonitis, and Heel Pain (Medium)

I work standing on concrete all day for several years as a result I have planters facilities. My pain is mostly in my heel from nerve pain . I’ve seen several foot doctors over the years and have a collection of foot boots, braces,inserts and shots. I Was looking for something that could releave pressure off the heel area and decided to try the ortho brace. I worn it for just a day and felt results . The pain was less noticeable . The horseshoes cushion could use a little more at the ends. But the product works I would definitely recommend it to anyone who has heel pain to try it . I am definitely going to buy this product again

I had a really bad flare-up of plantar fasciitis before our vacation. I tried so many different supports, socks etc. but none of them helped with the searing pain I felt with every step. As a last resort I tried this product. It was a little pricey and I didn’t expect much but it was a game changer! This support uses a pillow of air to keep your heel from directly hitting the ground. It gave me a chance to heal without bed rest and vacation was so much better. The only thing I recommend is to add some additional velcro to keep the strap in place.

I am sorry to say that all of the negative reviews, though fewer in number than the positive ones, were correct. I had to stop using the brace after two days. The "pneumatic" pad that rests under the arch of the foot is very bulky and began to cause more pain in my foot than the Plantar Fasciitis. the stiff splints at the top of the brace also began to irritate my leg, even though it was fastened comfortably. I am back to compression braces and shoe inserts.

Has really helped my 11yr old active son (who plays dual sports 🏀⚽️) cope w/ severe rear heel pain due to his open heel plates which dr says will close late in teen Yrs. He said pain is less intense & goes away faster. I definitely see less limping! Soo happy about that!!Update: they deflate very quicklyand the company's customer service was excellent! They gave us 2 replacements, However they deflated in couple weeks also. Fortunately, my son continued using them & his heel pain has now diminished to none existent!!! This has allowed him to play at 100%. So 5 stars for customer service & reduction of pain, but 3 star for air pocket longevity. Avg of 4 stars.

After reading reviews I decided to give it a try and it's been a huge help for me as the daytime aid when paired with my night splint. I have flare-ups from time to time and have accumulated quite a variety of foot supports. This one is thin enough it doesn't interfere with my shoes and the small air bladder has thus far held up, a little pricey for what it is but I don't regret getting it. I have wide size 11 feet but the Medium (to my surprise) has not been overly constricting and is a good fit.**Updated to say that after a couple weeks of sporadic use it has both had the lower bladder deflate and the upper ankle supports (rigid plastic) are now starting to have their corners poking out through the fabric. Good design, shoddy materials.

I have a severe and chronic case of Plantar fasciitis and this is the first product to significant alleviate my pain through the day! I wear the brace all day. It provides just the right amount of cushion under the foot and support around the ankle to make walking much more comfortable! the material is flexible, more so than I thought by initially looking at the picture of this product online. I use to be able to only walk about 20 minutes before being in excruciating pain, and now i can walk many hours with minimal to no pain! I've tried every other product under the sun for this condition and this has truly been the most helpful (in conjunction with appropriate footwear and daily stretching exercises). Highly Recommend!

Please, do not waste your money on this product!!!! First, in my opinion this product is not worth $40!!!! Hoever, the first few days the air pocket (bottom of foot) felt great, but afterwards there is noticeable difference in support. It's filmy and awkward. If somehow the air-pocket could re-inflat that would bump it up at least another star. I read the reviews and the were mostly great and had I'd written mine the first few days, it would be much different from this one I'm writing 30 days later. Maybe, theirs an weight restriction?? I'm 5'10' @ 260.

I've been managing plantar faciitis for 20+ years by wearing orthotics and stretching, etc. My most recent flare up has been horrible and all of the old treatments have not worked. I've been hobbled for over 6 months. I bought this brace in hopes that it would provide relief and that I could get back to my normal activities. I am SO happy that I did. Within days I began to feel relief. This brace feels so comfortable on that I don't want to take it off. It fits in most of my shoes. The best part is that I've even been able to start running again. I am so grateful that I found this and I recommend to anyone suffering with heel pain.
