Yes I forgot to say that I have AFO for both feet, but that they are not good around the house, because they are tennis shoes & get caught in the carpet around the house. I could be using them going out of the house, but have been in a wheelchair, because it was still too hard to walk very far. Once my ankle get stronger, I hope to start wearing my AFO again.

I got one, it can be warn on the left or right ankle. It has really helped with my drop foot around the house. I want to be able to where all night long ( I started at 4 pm ), but my foot burned so bad that at 1 am, I had to take it off. There is a smaller one that might be better with shoes for $8. Has anyone else tried this & if so, how did it work for you? Hope everyone is having a BETTER day, Todd in CC, TX What is this, Todd? Jeanne
