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

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.

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

Ordered to help support foot pain in arch and heel. Very uncomfortable and bulky to wear. This brace had no cushion in the arch area for me . It was loose in the heel and didn't have much cushion but squeezed on the ankle. I wear 7.5 shoe, perhaps small size would have fit better. I did however like the overall concept and look of the brace just didn't work for me.

Product works well for foot and ankle support but the material is poor and is falling apart in just few weeks. The velcro closure needs a new design as it is awkward to put on correctly and the right side gaps.

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.

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.

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 have been wearing my Ortho Heal for a few months and wow it helps a lot. I have dealt with plantar fasciitis off and on for many years and I get it alot from playing sports. The only thing that will really heal it is time and stretching but the brace really helps me through the day. I wear it in my shoes and it takes the pressure off while I am standing. You might wake up with pain in the morning but this really helps during the day. Works better than new insoles. Stretch in the morning and then wear my Ortho Heal!
