Mars Wellness AFO splint provides static dorsiflexion assistance and lateral stability for the entire foot-ankle area.

The low arch and open heel give this splint a streamlined profile that fits easily into any shoe.

Padded hook-and-loop strap secures the AFO around the calf.

EASY TO USE WITH ALL TYPE OF FOOTWEAR


STEP 1 Insert the AFO into your shoe with the heel of the AFO in the heel of the shoe. Be sure to open the shoe enough to get your foot in.

Tacky 13

TURNS OUT I WAS USING IT WRONG, IT FITS UNDER THE PADDING IN THE SHOE. I’VE UPGRADED FROM 3 to 5. Extremely pleased!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

This is my 3rd purchase of this item. The first was a size large which worked but was a bit large for my size 9.5 foot. The 2nd was a size M and fit better. However it broke after 2-3 months. The upright cracked at just below ankle height. I still have my 3rd and use it daily. MY ONLY COMPLAINT IS THAT THE PART UNDER MY FOOT ONLY REACHES TO THE BACK EDGE OF THE BALL OF MY FOOT. IT DIGS INTO MY FOOT CAUSING SOMETHING RANGING BETWEEN DISCOMFORT AND PAIN. I also tried the Swedish version from another supplier. It has a longer foot plate that was much more comfortable. Unfortunately, it has an open area in the heel that rubbed it raw. I did solve that problem with a large bandaid on my heel. If this product had a longer footplate it would be perfect.

Pass this by unless you are crafty

The media could not be loaded.

I was very happy with quick delivery, but as soon as I looked at this product I could see that it was useless. There is no way to close it around the calf, just a yellow piece of foam rubber with a tiny sticky tab that’s supposed to close it Which it does not if you just sneeze on it. I can’t believe that this company with son someone who needs physical support an object that has no value whatsoever. On the bright side, I am a crafty person so I am going to try to fix it myself with Velcro straps.

No more ankle rolling!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2017

Verified Purchase

I have an extremely weak and muscle wasted right foot/ankle as a result of nerve damage from sciatica. I have used many different ankle braces and ankle supports, which are ok, but do not provide enough stability. This splint is the answer for my frequent ankle rolling, which I am sooo thankful for!! I have sprained my ankle multiple times and broke the poor thing once. I do have a slight foot drop as well which of course this splint
corrects very well.

I walk surprisingly normal in this splint, I thought I would look stiff as I walked, but other than my foot not drooping when lifted, it looks and feels very normal.

I do have a concern about driving, as my splint is for my right foot. I have not driven my car while wearing it yet, but I fear that it will be difficult if not impossible to press the accelerator with my foot splinted into such a stiff angle.

It is not uncomfortable but it's definitely noticeable while I'm wearing it. I have only found one pair of shoes that it fits well with, so that is a bummer, but not critical. Overall I'm happy with this splint and will wear it when extra support is needed. I think I would wear it every day if I could get it to fit comfortably into my other shoes.
I believe the price was very reasonable for this product and I am pleased enough with this splint to consider eventually paying more for something similar with a more versatile shoe fit.

Arrived damaged

Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2021

Verified Purchase

Cheaply made. The material used on the strap was separating from itself. Even if it had arrived in tact, the strap is cheap looking and I doubt would last very long. I work in physical therapy. I have used mamy AFOs and various braces for the ankle/foot/knee in the past. I would not buy this product. Id rather spend more for better quality! Very disappointing .
