I also wear an AFO boot (s) and they make it so much more comfortable. I
take them off at night for sleeping, but wear them most of the day, especially
when I am sitting up in bed.
Some are meant to walk in and some are not, so you ought to see a specialist
to get fitted and to find out which are best for you.
Love,
Jude

I was fitted with a "custom made" AFO in 04 at the rehab hospital for drop
foot... really helped but problem is I can't take anything (no socks, shoes,
blankets) ect on my feet (yes winter is a real buggar let me tell you)
but so.... the AFO does help alot if you have insurance they will pay for it.

In response to:
I saw a friend that had a light brake in his ankle wearing a adjustable
ankle stabilizer that he got from Wal-Mart for about $12.
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
