There's a reason for that.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile you sleep, your foot relaxes into a pointed position. The plantar fascia — the band of tissue running the length of your arch — draws up short overnight and begins knitting together that way. Then you stand, your full body weight lands on it, and it pulls apart again.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThat's the cycle. Every morning undoes what the night was trying to repair. It's also why rolling a frozen bottle under your arch at 6pm doesn't change what happens at 6am — by then the tissue has already spent eight hours shortening.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Stepwell Night Splint holds your foot where it can't shorten.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree adjustable straps — forefoot, ankle and calf — hold the foot near a neutral ninety degrees through the night, keeping the fascia and calf gently extended while you sleep. You're not stretching. You're preventing the overnight contraction that makes the first step hurt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOne Stepwell Night Splint, fits either foot\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree independently adjustable straps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBreathable lining, one size, adjustable fit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow to wear it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePut it on in bed, or while resting with your feet up in the evening\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStart at the loosest setting for the first few nights, then tighten a little at a time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eJudge it by your first steps in the morning, not by how your foot feels at night\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQuestions people ask\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill I actually be able to sleep in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Most people take three or four nights to adjust.
