Hartwell Soft Ease Multi AFO Heel Suspender
This AFO is comfortable, it takes the pressure off my heel sores. I have contractures in both feet and ankles, caused by immobility from my Multiple Sclerosis, which has caused deformity. I feel by using this AFO it can help prevent further deformity.

Reviewer's Background: I am the Person using the Product

This AFO is so much better for drop foot brace then most all other AFOs offered on the market. I am pleased with the construction of the boot. A stronger velcro fastener might be nice for a more secure hold at night.
