This brace is the best!
I am an active, 60 year old lady who is 5’2, who just had foot surgery and will be off my foot for at least the next 2 months. I used a scooter, not the Freedom leg for the first 2 weeks because things needed to heal first and I fell over a least three times on the scooter, lol (hurting my surgery area in the process).
But once I started wearing my Freedom Leg 3.0 I had no problems. I can walk up and down the stairs, do laundry, vacuum, do dishes, etc. I do use a cane when walking long distances or difficult situations like the stairs, going into the yard or getting into the car while my husband takes me to my doctor appointment.
I love this thing!!! I recommend you get this before your surgery if at all possible. That way you can adjust it to fit correctly before the real event AND you can practice walking with it with confidence before you no longer can. I found that to be a huge benefit for me and my situation. Also, after I got it, I had two questions about the product at two different times before my surgery and when I called they were always available and helpful.
During my first visit after surgery to my foot doctor in January 2026 my doctor asked me about it. He had not heard of it. At my second visit the doctor said they were so impressed that they have added it to their recommendations to their patients. And as I walked out of the building another patients just stared at it in wonder and asked what it was and where to get it cause thats what she needed, lol. She was on a knee scooter. Yes, I truly recommend this thing. Also, I don’t EVER use social media but I wrote a review on it because it has changed my life for the better for the last few weeks while I heal. I hope it does the same for you as well. Sending you best wishes in your recovery!
