Works great as designed

Clunky. Hard to adjust. Can’t walk in it. Made my foot hurt in middle.

This shoe helps with heel pain. I have plantar fasciitis and this is the only shoe I've found that relieves pressure from my heel. I measured my foot from the longest toe to just passed my heel and it measure 10". I ordered a medium and it fits perfectly. It is true to size. The shoe is slightly heavy and bulky. The velcro strap that goes across the ankle is a little awkward until you get used to it. The velcro is good quality. It holds. There is a slight adjustment in learning how to walk in it because the footfalls land on mid-foot instead of heel. Overall, this is a good buy for those suffering with heel pain.

A mixed bag!! Absolutely no balance problems of any sort. It feels slightly peculiar but does not interfere with gait or balance. The down side is that it reduces but does not eliminate heel pain. Still , I'm more comfortable with it than without it.

I had a stress fracture in my heel. I am a teacher and did not want a hard cast on my foot/leg or a high boot to wear during the school day. This was a game-changer. It took all the pressure off the heel with the fracture, was not as noticeable to the students (who would have been totally distracted by a boot or a hard cast), and I could wear a shoe with a heel on the other foot that evened out my gait. So glad I looked into this and decided to purchase it.

Great product highly recommend and on time delivery, very satisfied.

Horrible chemical smell upon opening ( like rubber cement super glue) Velcro strap across the top of the foot is thin and sharp. Heel of shoe is closed so it puts pressure on injured heel. Design may not have full body weight on heel but it is like walking in wooden clogs.

This Offloading Boot worked well allowing heel to heal.

ottimo prodotto per patologie al tallone del piede...purtroppo per i piedi di misura piccola per donne in amazon tipo la S che equivale ad un 36/37 sono introvabili....peccato che abbia dovuto renderle!

Just used my shoe for the first time. What a relief! Have been hobbling around for a week trying not to put my heel down, it was painful & exhausting. Now I can walk again without the intense heel pain. Bit of advice, try matching your other shoe to the same height as the Vive shoe. Makes walking so much easier. Thanks for the quick delivery, it’s made such a difference.

Worked ok but clumsy to fit and wear.

I had plantar fascitis and bought this hoping for relief. Nope. It was very uncomfortable to use because I had no other shoes with the same heel height. Imagine wearing one heeled shoe or boot and just wearing a sock on the other foot. Hard to walk, right?! That's what wearing this shoe is like. It also makes a loud clunking sound. I'm sure neighbours were looking out the window at me as I clopped down the sidewalk, wondering who the pirate with the peg leg was. And....to boot....no pun intended......it didn't offer much relief. Honestly, i you have plantar fascitis, do yourself a favor and go see a physiotherapist. I tried a bunch of products trying to relief my plantar fascitis and nothing helped very much. After only one session with a physio, I began to experience improvement and a mo th later it was almost gone.
