Ease Pain & Accelerate Healing: Sleeping Stretch Boot for Achilles Tendonitis Treatment
Experiencing severe tenderness or sharp pain around your heel with your first steps in the morning?
During the day, connective foot tissues, know as your plantar fascia and Achilles tendon, commonly develop microtears. Then, while you sleep, unknowingly pointing your toes, your foot begins to heal.

Supporting a neutral foot position, this soft orthopedic night splint reduces irritation and pain caused by foot conditions including:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Achilles tendonitis
- Heel Spurs
What’s Included:
