BraceAbility Toe Walking Braces for Kids - Patented Pediatric Foot Supports To Prevent Tip Toe Walking, Cerebral Palsy Equipment, Autism, ADHD, Aspergers, Youth Neurological Disorders (M - Pair)

As many people have said it does not CURE toe walking, but drastically helps it. My son has made great strides with them. I do not put them in shoes, however, we just use them around the house. I feel like they may not fit in shoes or be comfortable, but I can't say I've tried. I imagine the Velcro will wear out over time and they are a bit pricey, but worth the money IMO.

Toe pad irritant is too short and kiddo easily compensates through the big toe and makes toe walking worse.

We just got this today and the foam/rubber patch on the bottom is already peeling and coming off at the seam. It’s a pity because the product works, our son stopped tiptoeing immediately and remained walking on flat feet for the rest of the day.

Absolutely stopped my son from walking on his toes when he wears them. He only wears them at home. He is 4, and they fit him well. Not for use inside of shoes but comfortable when at home. Easy to put on and take off. I th I no the quality is good compared to another brand I purchased. It functionally does what its intended to do. So far has lasted and durable fabric and straps.

Bought this product for my granddaughter who is is a tip toe walker but it didn’t work..she went higher on the he toes . It has no firmness to prevent her from walking on the toes. It’s not a bad idea but it needs something else.

These braces have assisted my son in walking more naturally and in the elongation of his Achilles tendon. However, he can only tolerate wearing them for a few hours before they cause discomfort in his feet. Notably, there has been an improvement in his gait both with and without the braces.

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.

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.)

While the product worked for my 6 year old boy, it lasted hardly 10 days. The straps and the stitches under the toe came off within a week's time. Expecting better quality for such a high priced item.

Did work out for my son , it might work for others

It did work. When my daughter would wear it should would walk and stand flat. What I didn't like is the strap that goes on the toes kept opening so I had to sew it close. Then the object that makes them uncomfortable to stand on their toes started coming through the fabric and one came out so I would need to buy another one. It's only been almost a month and they are tearing. I would buy it again because it does work but it doesn't seem right that every month I would have to buy more. I'll include a picture if I can.

I bought for my autistic child. After e read some reviews I dicide to buy. My child since 5 years old have physiotherapy had casting on both feet. But unfortunately this is not help him. Still the same walk 😔

I'm not sure how useful is the product but my issue is the product doesn't stay in place, it keeps slipping (talking about my 1.5 year kid)
