Great product to use about five or six weeks into a ruptured Achilles injury instead of the heavy large clumsy dirty boot they pit you in. Keeps the foot in a great healing position and you get a good nights rest.

Verified purchasegute Alternative zur Orthese
Eine gute und leichte Alternative wenn man die schwere Orthese nicht im Bett tragen möchte. Leider drückt das Teil ziemlich auf den Vorderfuss, dadurch behält man zwangsläufig die richtige Fußstellung ( was wohl so gedacht ist). War sehr zufrieden.

Perfect for sleeping!! I have a very injured Achilles tendon and this makes sleeping much better. It’s comfortable and fit perfectly. Also stayed in place while sleeping. I felt like my ankle was supported better in this than the boot I have.

Verified purchaseThoroughly recommended.
Bought this when I ruptured my Achilles Tendon and couldn't sleep in the support boot provided by the hospital. I swapped this with the boot at night. Takes a bit of fiddling to get the fit right, but worth it. Really good buy. Thoroughly recommended!

Verified purchaseCOMODO E SALVA-SONNO
Una vera benedizione. Dormire con lo stivale Walker è un incubo. Incredibile che nessun altro produca un tutore simile. Mi ha letteralmente salvato il sonno. Solo bisogna trovare il giusto compromesso tra tensione delle fasce elastiche, per la sicurezza che non si sposti, e la comodità per poter dormire. Io ho dormito molto bene già la prima notte, mi ha dato un senso di sicurezza che ,senza lo stivale, non avrei potuto avere. È molto leggero, e finalmente posso dormire sotto le lenzuola, e non con la gamba fuori. Direi un must per il post-operatorio del tendine d'Achille.

AthleteRecovery felt more normal while keeping the tendon safe
After my Achilles rupture, I used the Thetis splint when I was home instead of wearing the heavy boot all the time. It made recovery easier, feeling a little more normal, while keeping the tendon safe.
