This is Marilyn Burch who wears the brace Karl Burch purchased from you. It has made all the difference in my relearning to walk again after my brain tumor surgery. The hard plastic L-shaped ankle/calf brace was almost impossible for me to wear, it caused so much pain inside of my shoe.

This new soft cloth ankle brace is comfortable so I can wear it all day. It lifts up the right side of my right foot and toes just right so my foot doesn't drag when I walk and I can adjust it whenever needed. It is a great tool to use on my road to recovery.

Thank you for the fine engineering and quality materials you used to make the brace comfortable and stable for the wearer.

I served a mission for the LDS Church in Patagonia in Southern Chile. We walked the streets for eight or more hours each day. After eight months of this beating, I developed multiple chronic stress fractures and tendon damage in my right foot. They found the cause to be high arches — the highest that my doctor had ever seen.

I was sent home from Chile immediately so that I could get major surgery to correct the problems in both of my feet. Instead of an invasive surgery, my doctors here decided to have me use the Orthotics by FootScientific. I needed the Type 3 Orthotic, which acts as a balancing agent for my foot.

Using these Orthotics prevented me from needing invasive surgery, and today I am able to walk and run.

I have had back problems for years and finally it gave out back in September of 2012. My disks just fell apart and crumbled. I was instantly paralyzed, mostly in my left leg. My diagnosis was "spinal cord damage" to my left foot.

My insurance would only offer some kind of bulky brace to wear so I wouldn't fall. That brace kept me from doing so many things that I was really sad that I had to wear this "contraption" in order to walk without falling. It was heavy, bulky, and made my leg sore throughout the day.

The Foot Science Brace is so light that I don't even know it's there while it's doing the job of holding my drop foot up. I exercise 5 days a week and it does not interfere with my agility. I can walk so much better now and even a slow to faster run. I can wear this brace throughout the whole day for over 8 hours and sometimes I don't even know it's there.

IT HAS CHANGED MY LIFE!

I am an avid runner and have been for over three years now. I run 20+ miles each week, often doing 10 miles a day. About a month ago, I started experiencing sharp pain in both of my feet after a long run. Sometimes it would get so bad that I would have to rest my feet for a few days before running again.

I got a pair of Arches Orthotics that matched my foot type (Type 1 for Flat Feet) and gave them a try. I must say WOW! The change was incredible! No more pain, AT ALL! I can do my long runs of 10 miles without stopping, and afterwards, my feet feel completely normal.

I would recommend these to ANYONE, especially runners!

The end of March I suffered a moderately severe stroke on my right side. While going through rehabilitation I experienced quite a drop foot problem. My therapist tried several of the more conventional drop foot braces, and while they offered some help, the results were less than satisfactory.

The first time I used the Elevate Drop Foot Brace there was all the difference in the world in my walking. After using it in therapy for several days, I ordered one of my own. It has helped my recovery immensely. Now, only three and a half months after my stroke, I am walking nearly normally, do not have any drop foot problems.

I have had sore feet, ankle problems and knee pain for years. I had surgery on one of my feet some years ago and it helped somewhat. I went to see Dr. B at Harborview foot and ankle clinic. He diagnosed me with high arches and sent me to physical therapy.

The PT suggested I try the Type 3 orthotic made by Footmind. I have been wearing it for about one week now and my foot, ankle and knee pain are 90% better. My feet feel grounded and cushioned. I find I am holding my whole body with less tension. I have started walking again for exercise and am happy to say I have very little pain.

This is a great product and I highly recommend it to anyone with high arches.

I'm from Moscow, Russia. I have been playing tennis since I was 6 years old. I was #1 in the world for about a month in the 14-and-under division. I played in the Junior's Australian Open and Wimbledon. My junior year at BYU I found out that my sesamoid bones in my feet were broken and split into little pieces, and I also have a high arch.

These days, I teach tennis about 35-45 hours a week. The new tennis shoes are all about lightness and comfort and not much support for my high arch, so I feel my plantar getting achy after a long day.

I put the orthotics in immediately and even though my feet were still achy, I felt the support in all the spots that I need, especially in my high arch. I taught for a total of 10.5 hours today. I feel instant relief in my feet. I know it usually takes a couple of weeks for orthotics to take shape of the foot, but I honestly felt instant relief, after having acute pain today.

In my Dad's long recovery from his heart attack and stroke, using the Elevate has truly been yet another blessing for him. It allows him to be free of the large metal brace and orthopedic shoe that is both uncomfortable and unattractive.

Using the Elevate brace has enabled him to move more freely and feel more independent. He no longer walks bent over but now stands taller. For a man who loves his Italian loafers and has not been able to wear them, this has also allowed him to feel more positive about his image.

The old brace was a constant reminder of the tragic experience that has changed his life. The Elevate is simply a remarkable product and I would highly recommend it to anyone.

I LOVE the Elevate brace! It's been a Godsend. I had severe back issues after a very bad skiing accident and about eight years ago my spine collapsed and was severing my sciatic nerve.

When I woke up I was fitted for a custom orthotic AFO brace. After learning how to walk with the prescribed AFO brace, I hated it. I would fall and sprain my ankle repeatedly. It was terrible, but so was a thick plastic AFO that fit inside a shoe a full size bigger than I needed.

The drop foot remains, however, the Elevate Brace has given me freedom, peace of mind and confidence. For anyone who has drop foot, trust me, this is the brace you want!

I'd had Plantar Fasciitis for approximately 2 years with little or no relief. I visited 3 different foot doctors who took x-rays, made castings, and made orthotics that would mirror my feet. Shockingly there was no relief. One doctor said he could perform surgery to cure the problem. I told him absolutely not.

I tried their different orthotics for over a year and a half with terrible results. I decided to research my condition on my own. This is when I came across [your website] and watched Dr. Chris Hughes's videos. The video showed the ankle rolling and foot being over-supinated — I related to this.

I wore them for a day and they felt okay, just like the other orthotics. But the next day my foot pain was gone! Unlike previously made orthotics, day after day my foot responded to Dr. Hughes's Orthotics. After two weeks my calluses started to diminish. I was totally thrilled at not having pain when I walked, especially at work where I walk on concrete floors every day.

You helped me when I thought I would have to walk in pain the rest of my life.

On a recent trip to Moab, Utah, I noticed someone wearing an Elevate foot brace. He told me how happy he was with them and gave me the contact information.

I had been using the standard in-the-shoe strap-to-calf type of brace. I didn't wear it often because it wasn't easy to put on and it was uncomfortable. It was also hard to drive with. With the Elevate I just release the tension and can push the accelerator with no issues. The Elevate brace is comfortable and easy to put on, I love it.

I am a dancer and fitness enthusiast over age 50. For several years peroneal tendinitis has been an issue. I went to an orthopedist who specializes in foot and ankle problems and a regular podiatrist, neither of whom helped me. The orthopedist told me to "act my age." I did not stop dancing.

Instead I did research online and found that foot supination might be a contributing factor. A podiatrist recommendation led me to FootScientific Cavovarus Orthotics Type 3 for Supination, a great alternative. These may be even better than a prescription orthotic. I put them into my dance shoes and found I could dance more and better with no foot pain.

This brace is truly amazing. I am a 27 year old male who contracted drop foot after a horrendous motor vehicle accident. I am overweight and exercising to drop the extra pounds so I need something that could keep up.

After I went through 3 previous braces recommended by my doctor, I decided to give Elevate a go. It has changed everything for me. Now that I am recovering from my accident, at 290lbs, I can jog/walk a 16 minute mile with the aid of the Elevate Drop Foot Brace. I am ordering my second brace today. The first brace had held up for a solid year with my active lifestyle.

I have had drop foot for several years with little support from my UK doctors. Since the brace has arrived, I have been able to walk with confidence and do the things I used to love doing. This brace is the most amazing breakthrough in footdrop technology. I wish I had found it years ago. This device has changed my life for the better, it's discrete and easy to use and is totally brilliant.

I have MS with severe right foot drop. I have had the brace for five months. It's comfortable, it works well. I use this brace for everyday use.

In 2002 I slipped and fell on concrete hitting the inside of my knee. The fall apparently injured my peroneal nerve as I soon noticed my foot flopping on the ground. Numerous doctors, various ortho braces and finally a knee replacement in 2010, I still had trouble lifting my foot.

The Foot Mind Brace is helpful in lifting my foot and helping activate the muscles of the front of my leg and foot. I've worn it with athletic shoes and open-toed sandals, which are the most comfortable.

Just received my new brace today. Very easy to apply and adjust — made a huge difference immediately. I am a rehabilitation nurse and will be able to wear this for a full twelve hour shift, no problem. Created perfect step-through immediately, stopping steppage gait as well. I wouldn't hesitate to purchase, life changing in regards to gait and activity.

For years, podiatrists told me my feet were flat and I needed orthotics. I had paid as much as $500 a pair for them but those have been somewhat uncomfortable. In June 2013, I had an appointment with Dr. J. Robert Faux, MD. He had X-rays taken and showed me how my foot was not flat but did in fact have a normal arch.

Dr. Faux is the only professional who has X-rayed my feet. He wrote a prescription for the Pronation Style and I was fitted for two pairs of the Arches orthotics. I have loved them. The cork/padded foot surface is very comfortable on my feet. I feel great support with them. The cost of the Arches is extremely reasonable compared to other orthotics and my satisfaction is much higher.

I have pretty much tried all types of products for foot drop. I have used custom molded AFOs, EZ Stride carbon fiber AFO, Noodle AFO. I've also used braces that do not go in shoes. The Ossur Foot Up brace worked for a few weeks, but the elastic band wore out. The Dorsi-Strap brace I didn't really like the way it looked.

I have been using the Dictus Band brace for a while and I like it a lot. The benefit to your brace over Dictus is that your brace is more durable, you don't have to change rubber bands, and you are able to adjust the desired level of lift for your foot.

I am getting used to this wonderful brace/lift. I keep trying to lift my hip and don't need to. How wonderful. I think after a week or so I might not need the cane. I am so pleased. What a blessing.

I have been wearing the brace for about 2 months now and it really helps me walk in a more normal way — elevation and gait. It is not irritating to the leg compared to others I tried. I go to my kinesiologist twice a week and have to change shoes, and with this brace it is much easier than others I have had.

Just dropping an email to say how much better the footmind brace is over my old one. The footmind is much more comfortable over long periods of wear. The fitting and adjustment are much easier. I am pleased to have a choice of footwear again as the fittings can be used in almost any type of shoes I have. I am limited when wearing the full leg brace to one pair of oversized shoes in basic black.

I have had the privilege of wearing your orthotics for the past several years. I have had severe foot problems for a number of years and have had extensive physical therapy, injections and even surgery to try to take the pain away. Finally my doctor recommended these to me and I love them. I can finally wear cute shoes again and not have severe pain. I would recommend them to anyone who has Plantar Fasciitis. They are wonderful.

I received the brace and have been wearing it for a few days. I'm using it on my tennis shoes and it's working great. Thanks for making a good brace.

It didn't compress my ankle the way the old brace did. I was using an X-Strap, which worked OK except for the pressure, and the shoelaces on the Velcro straps forever fraying and breaking. Thanks again!

I tried 4 different foot doctors who all made different orthotics for my Plantar Fasciitis. I was frustrated because I still had foot pain and none of them helped. One even suggested cutting my tendons to cure the problem.

I decided to do my own research and happened to come across a video by Dr. Chris Hughes. By the 2nd day only, my foot had amazing relief. I bowl hundreds of games competitively and this allowed me to once again bowl pain free and walk daily pain free. I truly had horrible pain for two years, from the time I got out of bed until the time I went to sleep.

My wife has had two knee replacements. During a revision surgery, she developed a hairline fracture and a footdrop. The hairline fracture has since healed, but the footdrop is still there.

The Brace is an amazing contraption and so helpful. It now aids her in her walk and allows her to come down heel first, as opposed to the toes coming down. As she wears slippers, sandals, and trainers, we can now use it on any of them. The best results come when using the C-Hook kit as it holds firm, especially on the sandals and slippers.

I am so impressed with this brace and ease of use. It was a life saver. My drop foot had landed me flat out on the ground and floor many times before using this. I would have had to pay over $1,100 to purchase one that the doctor prescribed and I knew I would hate. I had no insurance and would never have been able to get one. I find it works best for me with low-top sneakers and sandals that have flatter heels and flexible soles.

I just wanted to say thank you for your partnership with us. Our patients have been loving the orthotics. We had a 15 year old who has had foot pain for over 3 years — after 2 weeks of wearing his orthotics he said "I no longer have any foot pain!"
