Ol' Reliable
Size: Medium Color: Black
I ordered this brace because I injured my ankle while training and lifted some heavy weight off a squat track wrong which resulted in some prolonged ankle soreness. I've had bad ankles from playing offensive line in high school and having level 1-3 tendon tears in my ankles from those years past, I used to have two of these back then but lost them when I moved out of my parents house way back when. I can say that this is by far a great brace because the fit is snug and during my most recent injury my ankle has pain in the front that gives me pain when I'm on my feet for too long or walking a lot (live in a metropolitan city so I do a lot of walking). Since using this brace it has mitigated that pain because it is snug enough that it isolates where my pain is and allows me to walk normally and without a limp. Comfort wise the brace is snug. I usually run a 9.5-10 shoe and in my walking shoes it fits fairly well an 8/10 fit, in my dress shoes for work it fits very good 10/10 but I do need to use a shoe horn to slip into my shoes. I ordered a medium in this case. Practical usage of the brace when I'm walking home or to work it gives me maximum comfort and helps me forget that my ankle even hurts. When I'm training I don't feel any pain either but I'm not lifting with as heavy weights until I heal up. The support given in my opinion is around the 9-10/10 mark just because of the isolation during walking motions and the stability offered on the sides. When I'm on the bus standing up I can balance myself if there's weird motions as opposed to hopping about looking to grab onto something for support, and I can also jump 2 stairs at a time without worrying about pain from stressing it in different motions. As far as putting the brace on or taking it off it is fairly straight forward. The side bands that form a figure 6 (I think it's mentioned in the description) help to provide that motion stability I mentioned previously, and the top bands that secure around the laces are all straightforward in attaching and removing. The laces and brace itself does run slightly tighter and more snug than any other brace, so you'll need to spend some additional time with that portion of it. If you have swelling then this could be good for mitigating the swelling (not a doctor or health professional) but if you're pain adverse then I'd exercise caution just because of how snug the brace can be. Overall 5 stars because I'm familiar with the product and it does as advertised and it is not a cheaply built neoprene sleeve. ... show more

Good ankle braces
Size: Medium Color: Black
These are the only ankle braces my son wears. They are comfortable and provide good support and ankle stability during sports activities such as tennis and basketball. They hold up well after washing.

Hard To Put On
Size: Large Color: Black
As someone in their 60's with a fused lower back and a bit of a belly I found this extremely hard to put on. The tongue behind the laces is so tight I had to work at for 10 minutes of grunting to finally get it to slip on. A minor point; the laces had to be laced first after using a lighted magnifying glass to untie the tight knot. ???? It feels good once it's finally on though. If someone had someone to help them put it on once a day for the full day I think it could be really useful or if someone is young and more fit (of course) it would go easier. Perhaps I ordered the wrong size or the mild swelling in my foot and ankle needs to reduce before this will go on easier. For now I will put it off to the side then try it again once the swelling is gone. That kinda defeats the purpose though. I have a walking boot coming in a couple of days that might work better for the first 2-4 weeks then this one as a stabilizer after that. If I find it goes on easier later on I will come back and revise the review rating. I know the device works well for a lot of people. Perhaps I'm just too old and busted for this particular one. I want to give it a good review because it does give great support and stabilization once it's on. I think this is more for long term than short term stabilization. Update: I did find the brace easier to put on when wearing a sock so I added a star. It's a good brace and I'd buy it again but it isn't without needing a couple of minor improvements. ... show more

Excellent Support and Comfortable
Size: Large Color: Black
Review Image by Amazon Customer
I purchased this ankle brace for extra support during daily activities and workouts, and it has exceeded my expectations. The brace provides great stability without feeling too bulky or restrictive. The material is comfortable, breathable, and stays in place throughout the day without slipping. It was easy to adjust for a secure fit, and I noticed a significant improvement in ankle support while walking and exercising. The quality seems durable, and it has held up well with regular use. Overall, this is a well-made ankle brace that offers excellent support, comfort, and value. I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for added ankle stability or recovery support. ... show more

Best in the game
Size: Large Color: Black
I’m a hooper and I used to sprain my ankles all the time. I would just tough it out, take it easy for a week or so, and then just continue doing what I was doing until the pain/discomfort eventually went away. Because of this, I felt like one of my ankles was always never 100%. I finally caved in and bought this ankle brace and I regret not doing it sooner. Before, it’d take me months sometimes to be back to normal after a sprain. Now, I’m good to go within like two weeks, even less sometimes. It allows me to keep doing the things I love (basketball, volleyball, rock climbing, etc.) even during recovery which is extremely nice. While it does restrict movement a little, it hasn’t been enough to where it affects my ability to move normally. Fits perfect and if it helps at all, I’m 6’6” and 220lbs with shoe size 13. ... show more

Great Support and Very Comfortable
Size: Medium Color: Black
I injured my right Achilles tendon two weeks ago during a 5 mile trail run. I will admit, I pushed myself a little too hard, too quickly, but thankfully it didn't cause permanent damage (I hope). Walking normally on it was extremely painful to the point of tears and I was gritting my teeth just to bear with it. Stairs were a nightmare. Going down them would cause a major stab of pain that would shoot up my calf unless I took care to plant it sideways on a step (without bending the ankle) as I traversed them. The first week, I tried out an old (10+ years) lace-up version of the McDavid ankle brace, but it didn't go far enough up on the ankle to provide adequate support for the tendon, and was overall just too loose where it mattered most. Another brand I tried out had support inserts embedded of each side--it provided the necessary support, but unfortunately those inserts rubbed against the medial malleolus and caused additional pain after an hour or so. I finally caved and bought this brace, noting that it had the height I needed w/o metal/plastic support inserts. When it arrived, I put it on immediately and was surprised at how well it fit. I'm a more narrow size 9.5 and bought the Medium brace--it's perfect. It's a lace-up and velcro combo that doesn't accidently cut off the circulation to your toes when tightened as well. I found it nice that the laces were long. I could do the initial tie, use the velcro straps that form the "x" under your foot and attach on the sides of the brace, run the laces through the finger pulls on the straps and tie it around my ankle as well. Then I'd finish it off by securing the main velcro strap (with the logo)so that none of the lace is hanging out. It feels great, the fabric is durable, and it breathes well! After a few minutes of wearing it with a normal shoe on, I barely had any issues with my ankle and practically forgot about it. It provides great support on the sides so it doesn't twist, and gave just enough support when I was walking down stairs to prevent pain by not overextending the tendon. It's comfy--been wearing it for a few days now and its dramatically increased my recovery rate. I'll wear it 10+ hours a day with no issues or discomfort--only to take it off at night. Just be sure to wear crew socks under it so that the top of the brace doesn't rub against your skin (and take a layer off. I've been getting really antsy not being able to run for two weeks now, but I'm feeling really confident in the progress my tendon's made and how well it's being supported by the brace. I'll go for a run with it on tomorrow and see how everything feels! It's worth the price, go for it! ... show more

Offers great support, stability, WAY cheaper than at the doc office too!
Size: Medium Color: Black
My son fractured his growth plate in his ankle and had a level 3 sprain. After being in a boot for a month, the orthopedic specialist he was seeing wanted him to wear this same brace. At his office it cost $90. I told the doctor I wanted to shop around for a better price, and he told me to make sure that I bought a brace that laced up the front AND had a "figure 8" wrap around strap. He said that this type of brace offers the best stability and support. I decided to look on Amazon and found it here for less than $25. This is the exact same brand and model of brace that the doctor had at his office. This brace is very sturdy and stabilizes the ankle. It's made out of a nylon material, laces up the front, and then has a velcro strap that wraps under the foot and around the ankle and then up around the leg. The orthopedic doctor says this offers much more stability to the ankle than a "stirrup-style ankle stabilizer air cast" (Ace makes one) which are found at the drugstore--and honestly this brace is cheaper on Amazon than those anyway! My husband had bought my son one of those stirrup-style braces to wear when he started to refuse to wear the boot any longer (13 years old and was mad about having to wear the boot past week 4 and in the middle of his baseball season which he missed most of), but before the doctor was recommending a brace. My husband figured it was "better than nothing"...the doctor said, well yea, it was better than nothing, but not much. And I could see that my son could still twist his ankle in the stirrup-style brace, which is harder for him to do in the McDavid brace. My son has to wear this brace for all physical activities (long boarding, running, etc.) and it doesn't seem to bother him and his sneaker fits over it just fine. I know others have mentioned that the upper, front area (the "tongue") rubs or bothers their leg, but my son has not had that problem. He's even been wearing it with ankle socks, rather than crew socks now, although if it were me, I would definitely wear a higher crew style sock. But hey, he is 13 and knows everything! My son wears a size 9 men's shoe. The sizes of this brace overlap. The small fits up to a size 9 and the medium starts at a size 9. I contacted the manufacturer and they recommended that my son wear a medium. The medium fits him perfectly, and I feel that the small probably would have been too small. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase. Especially since it is the EXACT same brand and style that the doctor's office charges $90 for. It's been working great for my son and I would not hesitate to recommend this brace for anyone who needs extra support and stability to an injured ankle. ... show more

Rubbing into my leg.
Size: X-Small Color: Black
I've been using the Mc David lace up braces for years to help with drop foot. They work great but this last pair I ordered use the Velcro straps over the races for extra support. The idea is good and I like the extra support but the top horizontal strap creeps up past the brace and rubs against the front of my leg leaving a painful sore spot. I think a little re-design to that strap is needed. ... show more
