Title: not wearable or worth it-get a hard brace!
Product review: This item is supposed to fit calves up to 16 inches in diameter. MY calves are 15. It fits fine around my calf.I am only 5 feet tall, so I have to fold the sock over as per the instructions. SO just below my knee at the skinnier 14 inches the sock is unbearably tight. So much so that it digs into my skin, leaving a very tender impression for a while after I remove it. Also, it does not keep my foot at 90 a degree angle to my leg. In order to keep it even *close* to 90 I have to tighten the strap so much that it makes my big toe a little numb and painful over a few hours. So like a hard night splint, I'm non-compliant with wearing it (because it hurts, not because it's too bulky to put under sheets). I'm going to buy a hard splint.
