AliMed Classic Night Splint – Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct size before ordering and make sure this night splint is the right plantar fasciitis solution for your recovery.
The AliMed Classic Night Splint is a plantar-based night splint designed to help relieve plantar fasciitis pain by maintaining a controlled stretch of the plantar fascia, Achilles tendon, calf musculature, and foot while sleeping.
Unlike soft compression sleeves or low-support sleep braces, the Classic Night Splint uses a structured plantar shell with bilateral hook-and-loop straps that allow controlled adjustment of ankle dorsiflexion and plantarflexion. This helps reduce the tightening that commonly causes severe morning heel pain and first-step discomfort. The product supports adjustable ankle positioning from plantarflexion to dorsiflexion and is intended for overnight plantar fascia stretching.

Sizing Guide – Small, Medium, Large
Sizing is based on standard shoe size and lower leg fit. This splint fits either the right or left foot, so no side selection is required.
| Size | Women’s Shoe Size | Men’s Shoe Size |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 5 – 8 | 4 – 7 |
| Medium | 8.5 – 11 | 7.5 – 10 |
| Large | 11.5+ | 10.5+ |
How to Choose the Correct Size
- Use normal shoe size as your starting point
- Select Small for smaller adult feet and lower calf volume
- Select Medium for standard adult sizing
- Select Large for larger shoe sizes or wider calf fit
- Choose the larger option if you are between sizes
- Call before ordering if swelling or fit concerns exist
When to Size Up
- If you are between two sizes
- If calf circumference is larger
- If nighttime comfort is the top priority
- If additional sock layering is preferred
Fit warning: A splint that is too small may create pressure points and reduce overnight compliance. A splint that is too large may reduce proper stretch and treatment effectiveness. Call 866-218-0902 for sizing help.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AliMed Classic Night Splint used for?
It is used for plantar fasciitis, morning heel pain, Achilles tightness, and overnight stretching of the plantar fascia while sleeping.
How is this different from a soft night splint?
The Classic Night Splint uses a structured plantar shell for stronger dorsiflexion positioning. Soft night splints focus more on comfort, while this model provides stronger therapeutic stretch.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use the shoe size chart and overall calf fit. If you are between sizes, choosing the larger option usually improves overnight comfort and compliance.
Can I walk while wearing it?
It is primarily designed for rest and sleep, not walking. Most patients remove the splint before full ambulation.
Do I need a prescription?
Most patients can purchase directly, though insurance reimbursement may require physician documentation depending on the provider.
What if I order the wrong size?
Poor sizing reduces comfort and often causes patients to stop using the splint. Call before ordering whenever possible to avoid unnecessary returns.
How long should I wear a night splint?
Most patients wear the splint nightly for several weeks depending on plantar fasciitis severity and provider recommendations.
Will this cure plantar fasciitis?
It helps reduce pain and improve healing by maintaining stretch overnight, but recovery may also require stretching, orthotics, footwear changes, and provider-directed treatment.
