plantar fasciitis
Directions
Unfasten all straps and hook and loop. Position the heel against the back of the device, making sure it is seated firmly. Attach each of the straps, adjusting so that there is a comfortable tension holding the foot in place. Insert the toe wedge (wide portion facing the toes) under the ball of the foot to provide additional stretch, as needed. Place the ice pack in the freezer and then position from the ball of the foot and around the heel to provide cold therapy relief.

AI-generated from the text of customer reviews
Customers are mixed about the comfort of the orthopedic brace. Some mention it's much more comfortable than the one their doctor gave them, making the pain in their feet bearable. They have no trouble sleeping in it, and their foot is feeling better little by little. Others say that they worked but found them painful to wear, very awkward to walk in, and not as comfortable as the soft velcro straps. That bump causes more heel pain than the pf does, and it'd not designed as a walking boot.

All around, a great product!
I have horrible plantar fasciitis foot pain in both feet from dis-use. I'm disabled and spend a lot of time in bed, so the plantar fasciitis is not from being on my feet, but more from my feet flexing the wrong way under the covers. These braces are as comfortable as wearing giant boots to bed can be. Part of my heel pain is where my heels touch the bed while lying down, and I don't feel that pressure in the boots.
One reason I purchased these was the "removable ice pack" feature, which is little more than water quilted into squares. DO NOT consider that a selling point -- it's very flimsy, doesn't cool to be helpful in refrigerator, and when frozen feels like you've put a literal ice tray under your feet. I have better luck shoving actual ice packs down there.
As others have said, the uppermost strap is rather snug. My calf circumference is 16" at the widest (higher than the boot strap, I think), and it was pretty snug fit until it stretched out a bit.
One caveat: you may want to invest in some sort of knee pillow or bolster. When I don't use one, my knees tend to bend backwards a bit, which is uncomfortable, and my feet or toes can fall asleep in painful ways. It doesn't help that I have cats who sleep on my legs, but I think I'd need the knee pillow anyway.
It's a little annoying that there's just one boot, and not a left and right boot -- it can be awkward snapping in the straps on the left boot, which end up on the outside of the leg.
All in all, these splits are worth it. I call them my moon boots. I can clomp 15 feet to the toilet in the night, but they're very awkward to walk in.
The straps (both the liner and the nylon) keep my foot secure during the night. If I turn to rest on my side, I just bunch my blanket between my ankles for cushioning.
The splint is well made, very sturdy, and comfortable. (Note: “Made in USA”, according to the instructions included with the splint)
There are some “grippy” strips on the bottom so that I can make a trip to the bathroom during the night without having to take the splint off.
The liner is attached to the plastic shell with hook tape so it can be removed and hand-washed.
An extra piece of the hook tape is included, in case the one on the toe strap becomes worn (now that’s attention to detail).
The ice pack is a nice feature; not too cold but enough to keep my foot cool. As one reviewer commented, the ice pack is a little hard; however, with the warmth of my foot, it gets pliable quickly. (The ice pack will provide about “15 minutes of cold therapy relief”, according to the instructions.)
The toe wedge is also a nice feature (I actually add a folded sock to give extra lift).
I wear a 6-6.5 women’s shoe, and after reading another reviewer’s comments on sizing, decided to order a small, rather than a medium that’s recommended...the splint fits perfectly.

Straps are soft and velcro holds well. Underfoot rubber also works well for traction and quietness while walking with it.
