As the name implies, these are splints you wear at night. Most of them look like big boots, which is why I like the Futuro Plantar Fasciitis Sleep Support brand- it’s just less bulky to wear at night than most.
Now the idea behind these splints is to try and keep the foot and ankle structures stretched out all night in order to promote healing and avoid morning pain and stiffness that is so common in plantar fasciitis. Only a few randomized controlled trials have actually tested out this interesting idea. For instance:
-volunteers in one study were randomized to get either custom foot inserts, anterior night splints, or custom foot inserts and anterior night splints (Roos 2006). At 12 weeks, all groups improved significantly with no significant differences found in pain among the three groups at any point in time.
-in another study, patients wore either custom shoe inserts, over-the-counter arch supports, or night splints (Martin 2001). At 12 week follow-up, all groups improved with no significant differences between them.
-night splints were compared to no night splint use in this randomized controlled trial (Powell 1998). After one month, the group that wore the night splints showed greater improvement compared to the control group.
As you can see, these night splints ARE effective in treating plantar fasciitis-but note that they seem to be just as effective as over-the-counter or custom foot inserts too. Therefore, since night splints can be a pain to sleep with for a lot of people, I recommend you try them as a last resort after you’ve tried more conservative things such as foot inserts.

This product is wonderful! I have plantar faciitis on both feet so I purchased two. I had prescription splints made for me that were so bulky and uncomfortable to sleep in that I was hesitant to try these. The futuro splints are lightweight, easy to put on and take off and work like a charm. Do not hesitate to try these. They make a world of difference putting my feet on the floor in the morning.

After suffering many months with the pain of planter faciitis I bought this splint, and the Lumiscope Arch Easers. I have been using this product for almost 7 weeks. It does work. The pain has abated considerably. It’s not entirely gone, but it’s about 60-70% better at this point. Not difficult at all to use, and not uncomfortable it just takes some getting used to. The only complaint I have, is at this point, the velcro is not sticking as well as it should (I have cleaned all the fuzz out of the velcro, but it didn’t help),and that makes it difficult to get it as snug as I need it at night. In the morning, I can tell if it wasn’t snug enough, as the heel pain is more obvious when I step out of bed. But I would say this is well worth purchasing.

I am a physical therapist and I found this product an inexpensive way to treat heel pain. It takes several times wearing the product to get the benefits of relief. It’s worth the cost if you have heel pain. Wear for a few hours and add time each session. Work up to all night if tolerated.

The product reduced my heel pain in the morning starting on the very first day! After a week or so of use, I failed to take it on an overnight trip and definitely had increased heel pain upon rising in the morning. I will definitely take it along on my next trip. Hopefully it is helping my condition heal faster (this is difficult to determine). It is easy to put on and compact enought that it does not really interfere with my sleeping.
