AliMed FREEDOM Dorsal PF Night Splint – Plantar Fasciitis Night Splint
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct size before ordering and make sure the dorsal night splint is the right plantar fasciitis solution for your recovery.
The AliMed FREEDOM Dorsal PF Night Splint is a low-profile nighttime plantar fasciitis splint designed to hold the foot at 90° dorsiflexion during rest, helping reduce morning heel pain, Achilles tightness, and plantar fascia tension.
Unlike bulky plantar-based night splints, the dorsal design places support on the top of the foot for cooler nighttime wear, better compliance, and easier walking during nighttime movement. The flexible shell, padded liner, and plastic-free bottom help improve comfort while maintaining the stretch needed for overnight plantar fascia relief.

Why Choose the FREEDOM Dorsal PF Night Splint?
Many patients stop using traditional night splints because they are too bulky, too hot, or difficult to walk in at night. The dorsal design improves compliance by reducing heat buildup and improving comfort while still maintaining therapeutic dorsiflexion.
This night splint is commonly used for:
- Plantar fasciitis
- Morning heel pain
- Achilles tendon tightness
- Calf tightness during sleep
- Nighttime dorsiflexion stretching
- Post-treatment plantar fascia maintenance
The flexible shell holds the foot at 90° while the wide neoprene calf and toe straps plus gel padding help reduce pressure points and improve overnight wear tolerance.
Sizing Guide – Medium or Large
Sizing is based on standard shoe size. This splint fits either the right or left foot, so no side selection is required.
| Size | Women’s Shoe Size | Men’s Shoe Size |
|---|---|---|
| Medium | 6 – 10 | 5 – 9 |
| Large | 10.5 – 15 | 9.5 – 14 |
How to Choose the Correct Size
- Use normal shoe size as your starting point

When to Size Up
- If you are between Medium and Large

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the AliMed FREEDOM Dorsal PF Night Splint used for?
It is used for plantar fasciitis, morning heel pain, Achilles tightness, and nighttime stretching of the plantar fascia while sleeping.
Why choose a dorsal night splint instead of a plantar-based splint?
Dorsal splints are usually cooler, less bulky, and easier to tolerate overnight. Better comfort often means better compliance and better results.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use the shoe size chart. Medium fits Women’s 6–10 and Men’s 5–9. Large fits Women’s 10.5–15 and Men’s 9.5–14.
Can I walk while wearing it?
Yes. The flexible shell and plastic-free bottom allow safer nighttime walking compared to many rigid plantar splints, though it is still designed for rest and sleep.
Do I need a prescription?
Most patients can purchase directly, though some insurance reimbursement may require physician documentation depending on the provider.
What if I order the wrong size?
Poor sizing can reduce comfort and make patients 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 during sleep 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 long-term recovery may also require stretching, footwear changes, orthotics, or clinical treatment.
