• Can I use everyday with my regular size sneakers @ shoes? Thanks
  I sprained my ankle twice in one week, putside of ankle hirts & is swollen. The Dr gave me a ankle support, plastic with velcro & a boot. Cant wear regular pants with ot (Im a female)
• Thank you for contacting Better Braces. The Airsport can be worn with your regular size sneakers, you will find you will need to loosen the laces on the brace to help accomidate the brace being a little wider for the initial fit.

• I rolled my ankle jogging in my gym class with the result being an avulsion fracture to the tibia. I want some support after I get out of the boot I received from the ER. What Aircast product do you recommend?
• The Aircast Airsport Ankle brace will give you a moderate support on your ankle. For maximum support, I would recommend either the DonJoy Velocity Ankle brace or the DonJoy Performance POD Ankle. Both provide excellent support and protection.

• I wear a size 10.5 EEE walking shoes. I need the width in the toe box because of some arthritis issues. My Dr. fit me with a large Aircast left ankle brace. It seems to be doing the job, but I need to pull the cross over strap very tight to keep the brace straight. Your size chart says I should order a medium size. Any suggestions?
• According to the size chart, you should be wearing a size medium. Since you do have wider feet, I suggest that you go up one size and order a size large.
Kelly at 8/7/2016 5:51 PM
• Can this brace be worn with high top basketball shoes & does it provide adequate ankle protection? My son wears size 16 shoes.
• The Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace may be slightly too wide at the top to be worn with high top shoes. A better option may be the POD which was designed to fit well in athletic shoes. The protection that the POD provides is maximum to prevent rolling of the ankle joint. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-performance-pod-ankle-brace
Beth at 8/6/2016 11:08 AM
• I have a size 5 shoe. I can fit into a 4 and I can fit into a 6 what size airsport ankle brace should I get? I was a competitive gymnast and have had a lateral ankle sprain for 2 years and have not taken proper care for it should I use this brace or something smaller or something bigger?
• We would recommend ordering the extra small Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace if you generally wear between a size 4 and size 5 shoe.
Catherine frisinger at 7/28/2016 4:36 PM
• Is this brace right I rolled my ankle all the way around broke my tiblua and fibula they wanted to do surgery on ankle said stability may be an issue. As small bones spacing , but i have bad heart so no surgery now the ankle my right is pushing to the left causing pain and insatiability I need a brace to hold up the ankle and I have to be able to wear shoe, and I walk everyday. Is this brace good enough. I try and stay active. Thanks
  
• This brace would not offer enough support based on your injury. We would advise you look into the Aircast FP or XP walker boot, this will provide the support and protection and still allow you to remain mobile.

Liz at 6/25/2016 7:18 PM
• I was given a med size air cast at my ortho md office but my shoe size is a 7. I cant wear it with my sneaker cause it feels too tight over brace. Is that because its the wrong size. I got a 7 wide its a bit bettter. But still think i need a small
• Based on that shoe size, the size cart states you should be in a small for the Aircast Airsport Brace. You might want to return to the Dr and get a smaller size. While wearing an ankle brace, there is a possibility you will need to a bigger size shoe.
  
Jamie at 5/11/2016 6:53 PM
• Is this brace a pull on brace?
  Can it be worn comfortably in a sneaker? I need lateral/side stability to prevent eversion or strains.
• Yes the Aircast Airsport ankle brace pulls on and it can fit into a shoe.

• My 13 yr old daughter sprained her left ankle, playing basketball, she said it popped when it happened. It's on the inside by arch where it hurts, even to touch. No bruising or swelling. Which would u redeemed for her to use for basketball? And should she wear it all the time until she can walk with no pain. Starting to walk on it, but if she rotates it, she heard it pop again, not all the time though. Then always wear during games. Thanks
• The Don Joy Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace would be a good choice for her to wear .

• Are any of your braces safe for the swimming pool (chlorine)? My daughter has a tendency to roll her ankle. She spent the last month of soccer season being taped up by the trainer. However, we are now into swim season and there is not a trainer at the pool to tape her up. She is having ankle pain when pushing off the walls during flip turns, so I am looking for a brace that will last in the pool (which it seems most say they won't) but can't find that information for the Stabilizing Pro or Airsport.
• Any of our ankle braces can be worn in the pool, you just need to rinse the brace out with clean water afterwards and let it air dry.
Varia at 11/18/2015 4:33 AM
• I had a grade 3 ankle sprain years ago, non-surgically managed, but have remained a runner for years (...with recurrent injuries). I would like a brace with good lateral support for running. My issue with most braces are the seams - they cut into my foot even on short runs. It seems like the Aircast Airsport has the stability I'm looking for. How bulky are the seams? Are there any seamless options? Do you have any other suggestions?
• The Airsport is a bit bulky, take a look at the A60 ankle brace it is a lighter version of the Airsport

Jamie Jackson at 11/17/2015 10:59 AM
• I picked up the Aircast Airsport at my local medical supply store. They gave me a large, I wear a women's size 8.5 or 9 shoe. It doesn't feel comfortable, was I given the wrong size?
• Jamie
  You should be wearing the medium size
Sharon Wells at 11/3/2015 9:34 AM
• I am a yoga teacher & I fractured my Fibula (healing now) but also have a tear in the Fibularus Brevis Tendon & instead of surgery my DR recommended I wear a stabilizing brace to practice & teach. Would this brace be ok or is their another one you would recommend.
• Yes this is a good brace for someone that will not be wearing shoes as it fits well without shoes as well as with shoes
Mike at 9/6/2015 12:02 PM
• Are they washable?
• Mike
  Wash by hand in a mild soap and let them air dry
Kelly at 8/28/2015 1:18 AM
• I take size 7.5 to 8. My concern is that i have wide feet. Should i still order the size small?
• Hello,
  
  Thank you for contacting Donjoy. Since you do have a wider foot I recommend that you go up in size. Size at the forefoot the brace slides on like a sock. It may be a little too snug for you in this are.
  
  Have a Great Day.
Ashley at 8/22/2015 9:03 AM
• I wear a mens size 8 1/2 shoe but my ankle only measures 7 inches (measured 1 inch above ankle bone). What size brace would be the best fit?
• Ashley
  The medium is the correct size
Brenda at 8/20/2015 9:35 AM
• My shoe size is sometimes 8.5 or 9 and usually a wide to accommodate forefoot width, should I get a ladies small or medium. I am recovering from major ankle surgery of the personal tendon and fracture
• Brenda
  Go with the medium
Ron at 8/16/2015 11:03 AM
• I have compound fractured my ankle 3 months ago and am going to be getting out of my aircast boot(the boot was awesome thx). I am wondering what would give me the best support and fit in a hiking boot.
• Ron
  The Don Joy Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace is very supportive and should fit into that hiking boot. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace
KStone at 8/6/2015 7:45 AM
• I was given this brace by my Dr when I sprained my ankle yesterday. I sprained my right foot but they mistakenly gave me a left. Can they be worn on either ankle or do I need to get one for the correct side?
• The AirSport ankle braces are right and left foot specific so you will need to get the correct side
Carlton at 6/15/2015 8:24 AM
• I have been playing competitive Ultimate Frisbee for the last few years at the college level and have a tendency to have mild to moderate ankle sprains on both ankles. Since I have not recently had an ankle injury, I am looking for a product that would help to prevent having these same ankle injuries that I have been having. Is this the best option for that?
• Yes the Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace will prevent ankle injuries, and offer support and protection. Another alternative would be the Aircast A60 Ankle Support, this is also a very excellent preventative ankle support https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-a60-ankle-support-2
Lindsay at 5/3/2015 9:37 PM
• I play soccer and was wondering if this brace would work for that. I suffered a severe sprain a few days ago but was told I could play again in 2 weeks but I need to wear an ankle brace.
• Lindsay
  The Airsport ankle brace is a great brace but it is a little bulky so might not fit great in your soccer cleats. Another option is the Don Joy Stabilizing Pro ankle brace. this brace offers great support but will fit better in your cleats https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace

• My 15 yr old daughter is a high level soccer player. About 2 weeks ago she had an eversion ankle sprain and a possible bone bruise. Ankle is feeling well with motion but is painful to touch. Which one of your braces would work best in a soccer cleat and for her injury? She does need full range of motion.
• Kate
  I suggest the Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace. This brace is a lace-up ankle brace with two figure-of eight straps. the brace will fit into all cleats easily and will provid protection of the ankle. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace
Kris at 10/8/2014 6:54 PM
• I need an everyday brace after ankle tendon injuries, however I find many to be uncomfortable as I have ample ankles and the stays dig in. Is there somewhere I can find ankle measurements for this brace?
• Kris
  I am not sure what you are asking. The size chart is on the website and this brace is measured by shoe size, and we feel confident that it is accurate. We do have a 90 moneyback guarentee on all of our products
Sarah at 9/26/2014 3:31 PM
• if I went on a workout machine would it still protect my ankle? How good is this brace for a sprain from 1 to 100
• Sarah
  The brace will protect your ankle on a wieght maching. This brace is one of our more supportive braces, it works very well.
Katie at 9/24/2014 5:02 PM
• Is the brace bulky in the shoe area? im a size 6 what size should I get x small?

Jessica at 9/24/2014 1:47 PM
• I have a minor fracture of my talus and am going to be transitioning from a boot to a brace. I was wondering if the airsport brace can be worn with a pair of dress shoes or flats. I have a function that I need to attend and dress up for.
• Jessica
  The airsport is a bulky brace I do not believe it would fitinto dress shoes. The Aircast A60 Ankle support is a similar brace but much thinner so it may work better with dress shoes. https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-a60-ankle-support-2
franklin at 8/5/2014 5:15 AM
• i had a medial malleolus fracture an my ankle is just out of cast.i do lot of running and play games like basketball,football so i wanted to know which brace between A60 and Airsport would suffice my requirements also i wear a size 8, should i go for a small or medium size brace?
• Franklin
  since you just got out of a cast, I would suggest the Airsport ankle brace. If will give you more support than the A60. the A60 is a lower profile brace and is a little slimmer in design but offers only mild support. That might be something you could transition into after you ankle has gotten stronger.
Clarisa Shepherd at 7/15/2014 7:46 AM
• Does the Air cast Ankle brace come in white? The one that has the cross strap. It's for a level 1 or 2 ankle sprain. I am only seeing it in black.
• The aircast Air Sport only comes in black
geoff gann at 7/8/2014 11:26 AM
• I am coming up on 12 weeks post achilles rupture surgery and will be coming out of my rigid boot. I'm not to wear a brace fulltime but feel I need something for those days on the job when I'll be on my foot most of the day. Is this recommended for achilles therapy?
• The Airsport is an ankle brace ans will support the ankle. The Aircast Airheel Ankle brace might be something you will want to try. It has air bladders in the heel and in the back of the brace where the achillies is located. When you step down the air bladder in the hell acts as a cusion and pushes air into the bladders around the achillies creating some compression. The brace comes with ankle stabilizers as well but the most important part for you is the inflation of the pads around the achillies tendon. https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airheel-ankle-brace
Tina at 6/26/2014 9:00 AM
• My son is 9 and has fractured his ankle twice in the last six months due to chronic ankle instability, once during gymnastics and the second time during soccer. His orthopedist has him in a neoprene brace with a figure-8 strap, but this brand brace is not very durable. I'm looking for a brace to control ankle eversion during sports and that can be worn barefoot, as he surfs and needs protection in the water. Would the Aircast A60 or Airsport provide better support and prevent rolling? Thanks!
• Tina
  The Airsport would give him more support, especially if not wearing shoes. The A60 is a lower profile version of the Airsport, not as supportive
Kim at 6/16/2014 6:14 PM
• Hi I recently had surgery 4 weeks ago for an Osteochondral Defect in my Talus. I will be getting off crutches and boot hopefully soon and I was wondering what ankle brace you recommend. I do not want my surgery to fail and since I'm an active person I just want to prevent it. I'm between the Airsport and A60. However, I don't know which one will be better for me. I am a Zumba Instructor and very active like I said. Advice?
• Thank you for your question. The AirSport will offer more support than the A60. The A60 is more streamline. Both will fit into an athletic shoe. If you are looking for mild stability the A60 would be appropriate. However, if you are looking for a more moderate level of support you would want to go with the AirSport.
Dulce Brousset at 5/25/2014 6:15 AM
• Hi I recently suffered a Grade II ankle sprain tearing a ligament and a fibula fracture, no surgery needed. Im recovering nicelly but had chronic ankle inestability on both ankles but love doing canoeing, kneeling on the floor of the canoe to paddle.
  
  I would like to know which one of your braces would be better to wear when I will recover and go canoeing again?, because it will need to fit inside a sport shoe, get wet and allow me to stay kneeling down over my feet. Would you suggest 2 different styles, one for the ankle that had the recent lesion and another type for the one just with chronic inestability?
  
  Thank you very much
  
• Thank you for your question. The AirCast Airsport Ankle Brace would be appropriate for your injury. The DonJoy stabilizing Ankle may be a better option as it is a little more streamline.
  
Amy at 4/24/2014 10:00 AM
• Hello,
  I am a trail runner and run obstacle course races. Which brace would you recommend for courses that involve running on uneven ground and also through mud/water? The Aircast A60 or the Aircast Airsport? Please advise. Thank you!
• Amy
  The A60 may work better for you because it is lower profile than the AirSport but also not as much support. Another option with better support than the A60 but is still able to get inot shoes is the DonJoy Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace
Heather at 4/3/2014 5:27 PM
• what shoes are best for wearing with an air cast?
• Thank you for your question. Athletic shoes would be a good option.
Christine at 3/19/2014 10:11 AM
• Hello, I chronically sprain my left ankle while running (roll to the left) . Minor sprains until the last one 5 months ago which was grade II. Which is the best brace to prevent rolling/re-injury that I can comfortable run in? A60 doesn't look like enough though looks comfortable. Are the sides of the Airsport rigid? Thank you.
• Christine
  The Aircast Airsport is a great brace to provide support for multiple ankle sprains. There are two plastic stays on the brace one on each side of the ankle with padding on the inside of the brace for comfort. Ther brace slides on your foot then there is one small strap in the back to hold it on and one longe strap that wraps around the ankle for added support. The brace is bigger than the A60 but should still fit in to an athletic shoe.
Nyx at 2/15/2014 7:44 PM
• Hi. I have severe chronic ankle instability, have since childhood (i was a professional klutz), i am a Firefighter/EMT, very active, always on my feet. My jobs and hobbies require allot of standing, walking, high impact, kneeling, and running all with heavy weights. I am looking for the most ideal brace i can find, do you have any input? I would greatly appreciate it. Stability and mobility is ideal, but i understand that i cannot always have both, so stability would be priority. Thank you for your time.
• Thank you for your question. The Aircast Air Sport will offer a good amount of stability. The Velocity is going to provide the maximum support and is also very comfortable, which is also an option.
cody at 1/5/2014 9:38 PM
• Can I wear my aircast for games or should I buy one specifically meant for athletic use?
• Cody
  Yes you can wear that for sports
Tim at 11/16/2013 9:54 AM
• I currentky have both a left and a right version of the A60 but find the plastic support sometimes digs into my ankle and causes discomfort. I am currently looking at the Aircast Airsport with the hope that it will provide all the benefit of the A60 with more comfort. Is this a good assumption? Can you speak to the major differences between the two braces? My intention for the brace is to wear for prevention as I have rolled my ankles many times in the past and they are now pretty weak.
• Tim
  The A60 is the lighter version of the Airsport. The Airsport does have padding on the inside of the plastic stays and will be more comfortable. If is a little bulkier than the A60 but will still fit into a shoe and has more support than the A60. If you have any other questions please let us know
Sebastien at 10/27/2013 4:25 PM
• I have flat feet, especially the right one where the arch is collapsed.
  I have been wearing custom made orthotics, without them i couldn't walk more than 20 min without severe knee pain on the right side, sciatic pain...
  I play soccer every week, and recently sprain my right ankle twice. It seems that my ankle gets weaker and weaker.
  I am looking for a brace that I can wear together with the orthotics, to recover and prevent any more sprain ankle while playing soccer.
  
  
• Sebastien,
  This brace will fit fine with your orthotics. The bottom of the brace where your arch would be is nylon material and should not interfere with the fit of your orthotic. Another option to look at would be our DonJoy Stabilizing Speed PRO Ankle Brace. The Speed Pro is semi-rigid as well and will also a feature lace-up design with figure 8 strapping (similar to tape). Thank you for your question and feel free to contacting us with any more questions you may have.

Posy at 8/1/2013 2:35 PM
• Hi I am recovering from an ankle fracture and surgery, in my sixth week. I'm out of a hard cast and in an aircast xp walker. I am at the point in my recovery when I can start to bear weight on my leg and I believe I no longer have to wear the aircast at night. Although eager to shed the bulky aircast for sleeping I find it uncomfortable not to wear it. What I'm looking for is a brace that is smaller and more comfortable to wear in bed and perhaps i could use later in my recovery for walking etc..
  Thanks
• Hello Posy,
  
  Please take a look at the following ankle braces, these may be great options for you.

• I ordered womens small airports brace but the top strapdoed not reach all the way around. If I order the medium ladies is the top staple going to be longer?
• Hello Val,
  
  I recommend exchanging your small for a Medium, the strap will be longer.
  
  Thanks for contacting Donjoy.
Val at 6/28/2013 3:47 PM
• I just got the airports brace in the mail I ordered small left as I wear an 8awesome ladies shoe size the top strap just reaches crossed to secure it. Does the top strap have to reach all the way around or should I return it for the medium size not site if strap will be longer on that one
• Hello Val,
  
  When the Airsport is applied to your foot. The AirCast Logo should be on your Shin, facing forward. The top strap should be secured on the top of the medial and lateral supports.
  
  Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.
Jenn at 6/24/2013 2:44 PM

I wanted to know what the material is made out of, since I have laytex, spandex, and nylon allergies. The information is not on the tag and I cannot find it on this website. Thank you for all of your assistance.
• Hello Jenn,
  
  The Airsport has Spandex and Nylon in it. I recommend wearing a sock underneath the brace.
  
  Thanks for contacting Donjoy.
Tiffany at 6/11/2013 8:02 AM
• Hi I recently suffered a Grade II ankle sprain tearing a ligament and I'm looking for a brace that I could wear to help with recovery but that I might also be able to wear when I return to my sports (flag football, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee).
  
  Does the Airsport offer the same kind of recovery support as the Air Stirrup? And what is the difference between the A60 and the Airsport when it comes to returning to sporting activities?
  
  Thanks.
• Hello Tiffany,
  
  The Air Stirrup is not recommended to use during activity, it's more of a walking support.
  
  A return to play brace would be the Airsport, A60, Donjoy Pro Stabilizing Ankle. The differences;
  A60- has a medial and lateral rigid stirrup, the braces slides on like a sock.
  Airsport- you step into the brace, back side of achilles is open. Has a medial and lateral rigid stirrup with air cells for comfort
  Donjoy Pro- similar to ankle taping, has 2 figure 8 straps, and laces up
  
  The above are all appropriate, your choice is based on your preference.
  
  Please call a Product Specialist with additional questions. 1-888-405-3251.
Alisa Reich at 6/7/2013 6:50 AM
• Hello, I am a women's size nine but have a very narrow foot. I was wondering if I should order a small to avoid bulkiness? I'm recovering from an ankle sprain. Thanks for your help.
• Hello Alisa,
  
  The Airsport isn't very wide. But it does have the air cells on the medial and lateral side so you will have to wear an athletic shoe with this brace. It won't fit in a high heel.
  
  Depending how much support you need and the activity your returning to, you may be able to select a different brace.
  
  Other options I would suggest.

• I've bought an Aircast A60 for my right ankle some time ago. Now I've sprained my left one. Is it possible to (maybe only temporarily) wear the right Aircast on my left foot?
  
  The sprain does feel that bad so I need something to stabilize it during the upcoming practices and games this week. I also have an Aircast Air-Stirrup for my left ankle from a few years ago, but this one makes it really hard to put on basketball shoes...
  
  Any recommendations would be great!
• If you wear the right brace on the left ankle it will keep you from rolling the inside of your ankle outward but wont protact you from the ankle rolling inward. It would not be advised to wear the brace in this manner, as that is not its intended use..

• i just went to the dr's and they gave me this brace aircast airsport brace in a large because my ankle is a little large but it seems bulky i am a size 8 in a sneaker is this right?
• If you are male you should be in a medium, female a small.

• Hello, I just got off a severe ankle sprain but I am well into Therapy and have been cleared to play basketball next week (15 weeks total of recovery). Would you recommend this brace or the Aircast A60? They are confident I don't need to wear a brace but to prevent injury after all this hard work would be a shame.
  
  I play basketball with Mid/High top sneakers.
  
  Thanks,
  Patrick
  
• I would go with the airsport, it is going to provide more support, which sounds like this is what you need.

• I would like to order the Aircast Airsport. I have had many grade II ankle sprains on my left leg, and am fully healed now. I usually wear a size 9 sneaker to accommodate my current lace-up brace (and bunions). Would the medium size brace be too bulky, or will it be a snug enough fit? Also, are they made for either foot? I am beginning to do triathlons and need a much speedier brace that I can be comfortable and confident with. Thanks.
• The Airsport is a great option for the quick and easy application and will definatley help you out during your races. This brace is made right and left specific. And Medium will be a perfect size for your foot and should not be too bulky.

• hi! my daughter's volleyball shoe size is 8.5 but sometimes a size 9 (mizuno shoes). what size should i order for an aircast a60 ankle support that would fit her perfectly? i wanted to get her the aircast airsport but im worried that it might have a bulky feel and that she might feel uncomfortable running jumping or spiking with them so im deciding on the a60 instead, but i need your advise on the perfect fit for her, thanks!
• If your daughter already had an ankle injury I'd recommend the Aircast Airsport. If she's looking to prevent an injury for the first time then order the Aircast A60. If she truly wears an 81/2 shoe size then order a medium. It's better to have a snug fit in the shoe then have it be too bulky and baggy.

• I have a 8 yo girl doing serious gymnastics (4 hrs day). We need to find an ankle support she can use during training. Would this be the right model and what would be the right size for my daughter?

• yes, the Airsport does have some cushioning to for impact as well as semi-rigid shells to give him support while being active.

• I have an Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace for a right foot/ankle but now my left ankle is sprained. The right ankle version seems to fit and feel fine on my left ankle. Do I really need the left ankle version?
  
  - Ed
• We recommend that you do get the left brace for your left ankle injury. The braces are made specific for right and left feet. The inner semi-rigid shells are formed to fit your ankle bones properly. Wearing them on the incorrect side, could potentially cause more harm than good, being that the shells and shape of the brace will not fit properly.

excellent product

Reviewed by: stewcat

The only problem I have with this brace is wear on the stirrup fabric and the Velcro strips. I do put a lot of stress on it as I am literally wearing for any and all activity.I've been using these for four years now due to severe ankle erosion and wouldn't be able to walk without it. Highly recommend

This is the third one I have ordered. This was prescribed by my doctor. A doctor gave me too many steroid shots in my foot and ankle and it caused my tendon in my ankle to tear. Must always wear the brace to protect it.

Best Yet

Reviewed by: Leigh Martin

This brace is more comfortable to wear and provides more support than any other I have tried...and I've tried many!!
I also appreciate the ease of putting it on. No laces and you don't have to be a contortionist to get hold of all the straps. Bravo!

Exactly what I needed.

Reviewed by: K

I've always been prone to sprains; then I needed multiple surgeries on my ankle. I started playing volleyball again and needed a serious brace, so I bought this. I didn't sprain my ankle a single time the entire year. I'm replacing it now after a year of heavy wear and tear.

Might be tough to get used to if you've never used this heavy-duty of a brace before, and it might be difficult to get it into your shoe at first. Be careful not to tighten the achilles strap too much or it will pinch and get sore. My old Active Ankles would always give me blisters the few times I wore them, but this brace never did.

Well worth the price.

Happy with product!

Reviewed by: Brenda Traylor

My orthopedic doctor is pretty low on how to care for my broken ankle. I was in a cast for six weeks, a walking boot for two and then he didn't tell me what to do after that and I still had another 4 weeks before the next visit. So I ordered the AirCast from your website and have been using it instead of the gigantic boot. I won't see him again in six months so in the mean time, I will wear your brace whenever I will be walking any distance. Thank you!

Just the right buy for my rolling ankle

Reviewed by: I Don't Wanna Share

It seemed a little more bulky when I first put it on than I expected, but it worked better than I hoped. It kept me from rolling my weak ankle on a hike over very uneven ground.

Great Ankle Support

Reviewed by: RNBaby

It is comfortable to wear. Obviously I'm a nurse - on my feet all day with 12 hour shifts. After injuring my tendons the doctor put this on me and when I first saw it I thought I would never be able to work with it on. But the opposite has happened. My ankle actually feels less tired at the end of the day. It hasn't affected my power walking at all. I agree it is a little time consuming to put on and my support sneakers are showing earlier than usual signs of wear and tear but the stability and comfort are well worth it.

Great for a runner recovering from an ankle sprain

Reviewed by: Chicagolander

I purchased this after re-spraining my ankle in August. It works well with all of my shoes - wore it at work for a few weeks, then only when exercising. The injury was about 5 weeks ago, and I am back to running with the brace. It was just what I was hoping for - extra support while the injury heals and allowing me to run again.
