This splint is generously padded with a breathable foam and covered with an ultra soft fabric for optimal comfort. Removable for washing, the extra soft lining eliminates skin irritations, preventing blisters and abrasions, making our night splint much more comfortable than many rigid AFO alternatives for sleeping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRegardless of the comfortable padded lining, please understand that wearing a boot to sleep in will likely take some adjusting to. For at least the first week, some podiatrists discourage their patients from trying to sleep with it on. Instead, wear it while lounging. After you feel comfortable you can start wearing the boot at night and gradually increasing dorsiflexion stretch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRemovable Foam Stretch Wedge\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHolding your ankle in gentle dorsiflexion, this splint keeps your foot at a 90° angle to your leg. For an even greater stretch, you can add the soft, foam dorsiwedge insert, which elevates your foot to better relieve inflammation. The wedge should be inserted under the padded liner beneath your toes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCustomizable, dual tension straps from your toe to calf also provide increased dorsiflexion for optimal pain relief.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVersatile Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSized for both men and women, the comfortable night splint can be used on either your left or right foot, with or without a sock.
