Slim-Fit Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle, Quick Lace Up Ankle Support for Women Men With 2 Auto-Shaped Pads, Air Fabric Cool Ankle Stabilizer for Injury Recover, Running,Sports, M(12”-13”)

Three caveats to my five star rating: 1. This brace isn't great for alleviating achilles tendonitis. It excels at left-and-right foot ankle rotation and pivoting, however. 2. Review the sizing guide carefully before you order. I'm a goofball and didn't look closely enough and ordered a size too small, and that's entirely my own fault. 3. This will likely not fit well inside your shoes. I wear Skechers Slip-Ins and, while my foot slid in fairly easily, it stretched out the ankle of my shoe a notable amount. Again, my own fault, but be wary of this if you're looking for a brace worn with shoes on. The quality of this brace is fantastic. The velcro is a very effective quality (beware, it will cling to your socks really strongly). It's relatively simple to put on; while it does offer really good support in how it's affixed, the tradeoff is lowered accessibility for less dexterous or mobile people. There are no loose laces - the laces are affixed to tabs you can use to pull and tighten the laces over your ankle. This allows it to offer comparable support to laced braces while providing more accessibility to less-abled people. The side straps are thick and durable and do a great job of preventing your ankle from rolling. However, the straps don't have any hoops or holds on them, so pulling them tight can be challenging for those who have difficulty with finger strength. Because of the sizing discrepancy, not being able to wear a shoe over this, and my need for achilles tendon support, I am returning mine, so I won't be able to speak to experiencing its durability over time; however, it does feel very well-made and durable and would give me confidence in long-term use.

This is amazing. Enough support to feel like it makes a difference, but not uncomfortable and fits inside shoes (shoes with a little flexibility) I am in a boot for a broken ankle and the boot is so uncomfortable. So when I am home and not walking very much, I can wear this and still feel like it is adding stability. I will transition to this fully when I am out of the boot. Measure ankle, don't go by shoe size.

This is good for ankle support, but not quite a brace (in my opinion, of course) because it's a little too flexible along the sides. It would be great if the side straps had metal splints embedded to create more stabilization. Also keep in mind if you have swelling to maybe purchase 1 size up. The lace straps were exactly the size as shown, with no extra length so if you have any swelling (or a little larger ankle) it may be too small. I have a fracture and even though the walking boot allows me to walk, my foot/ankle has too much room and it doesn't really provide great stabilization, either. I put this ankle brace on first, then the boot, and my ankle is a lot more stable. Much better! Loved that it comes with a short, toeless and cut-out heel compression sock!

This is a very well made, sturdy ankle brace. If you need strong support for your entire ankle area this is a good option. The materials are very good quality - the velcro is super strong. The instructions are very clear. I was very impressed.

Broke my fibula 5 weeks ago and this brace got me out of that big bulky air boot. This thing is comfortable yet super supportive. Keeps solid pressure on the ankle while allowing me to walk freely and not be in severe pain. Highly recommended.

I have been using this brace for a week now while I find that it does a decent job for stabilizing it could be better if it had a size option while the world thinks that a one size fits all it honestly has never fit my body shape I am 5,7 153lbs 9 and half foot size on average give or take a pounds I have very narrow feet my calves are thinner so basically I have to try and modify everything to fit better even with the swelling in my ankle I need to make the string shapes on the brace shorter to be able to strap down I chose this one because of the wrap for ankle support as I can not feel my injury I needed extra support for my ankle because of neuropathy I didn't relize I injured my foot I only noticed the swelling after showering I did not shower the day before because I stayed in relaxing I didn't feel the need to shower but I probably injured it the night before I have been so use to walking with body parts being numb or super sensitive plus i also tend to forget to check for injuries but I truly wish this came in a smaller size so I don't have to shorten anything on the product i buy so slim fit ankle brace is not very slim fit even hand braces do not fit I have big ass man hands and tiny wrist so most of those are bought at a medical supply store but I recently moved states and bought it off Amazon I do really like the brace just wish they had a smaller size I typically buy a child size but this type only came in adult

Apparently when you turn 30 your body rejects you and decides you’re near the end of your life. Rolled my ankle and I thought I broke it. I couldn’t walk on it for a good hour. Finally got to walk on it and started to feel better the rest of the day and thinking I was out of the woods. Woke up the next morning and it was extremely sore and weak so I ordered this brace as it was affordable. First, it’s actually easy to put on and figure out. I really like the straps that go under your foot and Velcro to the side of your ankles for stability. I also like that it comes with a sock to use with the brace so you don’t have to wear a crew sock and cover your toes. Very helpful in the summer time. The material is breathable and my foot didn’t sweat like it has with previous braces I’ve worn. The size is adjustable too so it works for me and my husband whose foot is larger than mine. This also helped the swelling and the soreness calm down too. Overall, I would recommend!

This brace offers adjustable compression, support & mobility. It's worn over a sock & comfortable when adjusted correctly. It doesn't make your ankle sweat like an elastic bandage does. I wear a size 9 wide shoe, & the medium brace just fit over my athletic sock. I would say if your a size 9 1/2 or more get a size large. A little intimidating at first with all the straps, but once you put it on a few times it's easy. It's basically an open toe high-top sneaker without the sole. The rubber side support straps still allow your foot to roll, so if you need complete immobilization for a severe sprain or fracture, you'll need wear a walking boot until you heal enough to use this brace. This is an affordable, well-designed, & quality made product that I would buy again & recommend for mild type 1 to moderate type 2 ankle sprains.

Multiple fastening points to support the ankle. The laces are attached to a Velcro strap for fast fitment. The Velcro for the rear of the foot is very strong. The strap around the ankle is also secure by very strong Velcro. In total there are 5 strapping connections to fasten in order to fit the ankle brace. But as all are Velcro fastened, it's a quick process. It provides the most secure ankle support of any ankle brace I have used thus far. It also came with a free ankle sleeve in the package.

This WHCOOL Ankle brace is sold as one unit, it arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. Upon taking it out of the box it immediately felt solid with its velcro straps, and the synthetic materials felt of high quality. I was able to undue the straps quite easily and slip it over my ankle for a nice and snug fit. The two inner laceless straps allow of easy adjustment while the two main straps lock into a figure 8 setup and provide a very nice fit to support my ankle on both the lateral and medial side. The lockdown under foot remained comfortable while wearing it for over two hours playing basketball. I'd highly recommend this ankle brace for its easy of use. Minimal break in time is required for it to conform to your foot. Overall it is a great product.

I really like the support provided in the brace, it’s supportive without being rigid. The Velcro strapping provides a good level of adjustment to how tight or loose you want it to fit around your ankle, and once adjusted stays in place. I find it a bit snug when wearing it with my winter boots, but it fits fine in my runners, I loosened the laces slightly on my runners to accommodate - but still kept them tight enough to do my interval training. I find it to be fairly breathable, only getting hot when I have been walking for long periods or wearing for an extended period of time with my winter boots. It came with an open toe compression sock, I put this on under the brace when I need some added support, or wear it on it’s own if I am just needing a mild support around the house. I’m very happy with the level of comfort, flexibility and support this has!

This ankle brace is incredibly sturdy and well constructed. It is easily used and the fabric breathes making it a lot more comfortable to wear. I definitely recommend for anyone who needs extra stability. I really like that it’s pretty lightweight and isn’t bulky so it’s easily worn in a shoe.

This WHCOOL Velcro Lace-Up Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle, Slim-Fit Ankle Support provides good support for injured or sprained ankles to help with your recovery. When I first saw the brace I thought that it would be extremely complicated to put on your ankle because of all the lacing and straps but once you know how to do it it is very quick and easy. There are laces on this support but they are not laced like in shoes. The laces do not need to be individually pulled to tighten them. The laces are in 2 two groups and are pulled tight and fastened with Velcro. Two more straps are routed under your heel and fastened on each side and finally 2 straps are wrapped around the top of the brace to keep everything secure. It does seem complicated but after a couple of times it becomes second nature to put it on. The brace provides good stability and is not overly bulky so should be able to fit into your shoe without issue. The interior of the brace has a soft lining. The seller has a free gift included which is an ankle brace compression sleeve. This is a much less supportive brace but is perfect for transitioning from the big brace as your ankle gets better and requires less support. This included ankle sleeve is a great idea. Overall, this brace provides good support while your ankle is healing from an injury or sprain. It is well made and should last a long time. If you are in search of a quality ankle support brace then this product should warrant your consideration. Recommended.
