I don't see where a line or strap holds the foot firmly in alignment would go the forward foot/toe area up to the top of the boot like most braces do

There's a piece of stiff plastic that runs down the back of the calf and under the foot. It doesn't move. When you strap your foot into it, it keeps the foot at 90 degrees.

It works. There is the wide strap across the foot, there is the strap around the ankle and the strap across the calf. It hold the foot as if you are standing flat. Its not the most comfortable thing to sleep in, but if you put a pillow between your knees it makes it more comfortable. I had one from years ago that was purchased from the podiatrist. This is way more comfortable. Its a lot better than getting shots in your feet. Works great for me.

Yes, I believe it would. However, that is the area where I feel the most pressure being applied by the brace. You may need to check with a podiatrist or your regular Dr. to be sure that it wouldn't be too irritating. It is a very supportive brace overall.

Yes, if that is what you want it to do. I actually bought it to keep it from bending up, so I rotated the splint to the bottom to keep it down. You could do the same, and rotate it to the top of your foot, to keep it from bending down. If you leave it to the side of your foot as intended, you will have a little loss of up/down bending motion, but it won't be totally immobilized.

The sole and heel have a slight lug sole effect that you find in work boots. They should provide more stability than a solid sole.

I would think the front portion (by toes) probably could be, but the arch and heel areas are less adjustable

not boots..but not bar either...cushioned stationary ankle grips for back of above ankle...and adjustable (in and out for tightness)cushioned ankle grips on front...it holds comfortably. directions suggest use with shoes, I always use it barefooted-It's okay for me like that, the intent being the inversion.

Yes. A standard wrench can be used to adjust the foot using the hexagonal area just above the foot.

No, probably not. It's only 1 inch wide, which is kind of narrow. Slacklines are about 3 inches i believe, which helps accommodate the whole foot.

There is no splint in the Darco Toe Alignment. It uses Velcro to keep toe straight. I bought it and used it once. It is kind of bulky and cumbersome for me. My problem is to keep toes from rubbing each other. Now, I use foam tubular.

It's not supposed to go over your shoe. You have to wrap this around the bottom of your feet to restrict rotation

The brace has an opening for the kneecap , some braces do not have this but it seems to give more flexibility. Hope this helps.

Hard to see from the photo, but the 360 degree shaft of this boot is a soft foam material. The boot has no "back stay" or spine. The hard plastic portion of the boot that you see in the photo, where the top velcro "buckle" is attached, is 8.5 inches from the bottom of the sole (mine is a large). To be as clear as possible, your ankle will be wrapped in a soft foam/velcro "inner boot." The shaft of the stiff outer boot is only located on the sides of your ankle and these parts are 8.5" tall. The front and back of your ankle are only constrained by the top velcro strap. If you have thick calves, I would think that the middle velcro strap would easily tighten to accommodate the shape of your calves and give you solid support.

I do not lock my ankle supports that tight. When I hang upside down my feet do not touch the footrest.

Yes, hard to describe without trying it but, while you are using it it is also positioning your foot in a way (toes/midfoot dorsiflexed) that stretches the plantar fascia, at same time as the calves. when you hang over stair, you can get the calve well, but this device really adds strectch to the plantar fascia in a way I find a stair doesn't (when you stretch on a stair you typically are not dorsiflexing the midfoot).

Velcro up the front, buckle for the strap under the boot, and locking buckle at the top.

The "toe" goes forward. I had to look at a picture on the Leki website to make sure.

I wore a tall lace up boot With an insole on the other foot. A tall lace up leather boot is in effect a modest ankle brace, so, this did three things. One, it equalized the height of both ankles at the heel. You can adjust the height by swapping insoles till its right. Second, the stiff tall boot on the good foot helped match the walking stride of the good leg to the injured one, eg. Restricted it a bit. Third, it gives you a pair of tall lace up boots to contineu wearing to protect your ankle in the contunuing healing process, which takes a year or two to get it right. I Wear a different shoe in a different style every day, going barefoot on Sunday. :) after church. This helps keep your mustles balanced and growing stronger. Its a process, all the best to ya.
