My 7 yrs old boy has been toes walking for years. He has AFO but so hard to put on and also limit his ability to move freely. This is amazing but has to use it with socks and high top shoes. Wearing barefoot or socks will not work.

I tried giving this to my five year old. When it is on, it seems to work, but what happens is because it’s strapped on the top part of the foot as he walks it seems to always slide off. If they had the ability to Velcro lock it to the back of the ankle, it might be a better design. I find myself continually having to replace it on my kids feet.

He does not walk on his toes as much but if I don’t have them on just right he will still walk on his toes . My son is a small 3 and we ordered a small .

I had to swap from R to L so the pressure point would be under the big toe. Only worked this way but then velcro for the toe strap began to lose its grip and kept coming off. Now the plastic piece fell out and now useless. Good concept if you can adjust for your child and if it lasts. Mine didnt last but 2 weeks.

My 8yo is a toe walking autist who is already showing signs of Achilles tightening. We do stretches and all of that, but 20 minutes of stretching everyday is not enough to combat 14 hours of toe walking. He wears a size 1 shoe and the medium *barely* fits, so if you're on the cusp of the size ranges, go up one. That said, THIS WORKS! He immediately puts his heels down to avoid the sensation. The flipside is that he chooses to sit down pretty soon, too, so it'll take time to get him accustomed to wearing them for more than a few minutes at a time. Honestly, I'm perfectly fine with that. Again, he's 8yo, so this behavior has been around a while and will take time and patience to reverse. I hope buyers consider that when using: the longer they've been showing a behavior (toe walking), the more time and effort it will take to eliminate. I would suggest pairing these with a behavior modification program at home, something simple like a reward for every 5 minutes wearing them (then 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20, etc) until the reward isn't needed anymore. I promise every caregiver reading this can do this with a little bit of research. I would suggest focusing more on rewarding the wanted behavior as this tends to give better results overall. Also, many kids on the ASD spectrum don't understand consequences very well, but rewards work. Be patient, be consistent, and stay positive.(I am a trained therapist with a focus in behavior modification therapies. This advice is *not* to be construed as medical advice. As always, consult your trusted health professionals and use your best judgment. YOU are the expert in your kid and their greatest advocate, don't ever forget that.)

It does the job just sometimes you have to adjust it that's that's only reason it's not a 5 star for me is you have to make sure it's in place but does the job my kid will wear it all summer if needed will review again after a few weeks

This literally does NOTHING. My child have a brace n she wears this in the house n brace to school. This doesn’t prevent her from tipping n she easily remove it, even if it’s in shoes or socks. Just expensive for nothing.

Only had to put these on for 3-4 days before my toddler decided she’d rather walk flat footed than wear these. So I’m not sure if they cured her of tippy toe walking because she didn’t want to wear them or because it actually corrected stance. Probably more psychological but they were not in pain. Better first alternative than that of the expensive shoes and worked for us.
