  • Seems great, high quality
Size: Medium Color: Black
Haven't been using it long, but seems great, and high quality. I'll have to see if it lasts, but I would think so. I don't see how this type of product could be better than this. It fits great and restricting ankle motion how I wanted, to hopefully let me foot heal. It's slim enough I can even wear my slip-on shoes. Probably won't fit some shoes, but if they're somewhat loose it will. To save time, I'm lacing every other hole - works good enough for me. ... show more

  • Best of the bunch
Size: Small Color: Black
I had a bad sprain a number of years ago, and after it healed as much as it was going to, the orthopedic specialist recommended an ankle brace for strenuous workouts. I bought what he recommended at a local store, and it worked very well. Fast forward a number of years, my brace is showing significant wear, and I try looking for a replacement. Unfortunately we've moved, and the local stores in my new location don't carry anything like my old brace. I try a couple of braces, neither of them work well, and I give up. About a month ago, my old brace lost structural integrity and the search for a new brace becomes a necessity. I again try the local stores and strike out. It finally occurs to me to try Amazon, and they have a number of well-reviewed braces. This is the fourth one I tried. The first was both ineffective and uncomfortable, the second was so uncomfortable I had to remove it after two minutes because my foot hurt so badly, the third provided sufficient support but chafed my ankle and was far more complicated than this brace. Now I've found what I was looking for. This brace is both effective and comfortable. After four miles, my ankle is fine, with no issues from lack of support or from chafing. It turns out that my old brace was an earlier version of this. It seems kind of old-school, but it works better than anything else I've tried, and I'm planning to buy another as a backup. A couple of suggestions for use: 1) don't tighten the bottom two holes very tightly, but really crank down on the next two, as this seems to provide the best balance of comfort and support; and 2) when removing, only unlace the top two holes and loosen the bottom four, as this will allow removal and speed up replacing it. ... show more

  • Best brace I could find
I have been playing basketball all my life and have chronically bad ankles from various injuries I have suffered over the years. I have been through many kinds of ankle braces in an effort to ward off new injuries, but these ones seem to give the best support for me. I've bought at least half a dozen pairs of these over the last 2-3 years. With ankles as damaged as mine, I'm bound to injure them even with braces on once in a while, and it has happened even while wearing these. However, I am sure they saved me from even worse injury. The price is much lower than some of the other brands like Aircast, etc. They do take some time to put on, but you get good at this quick. After playing in them 2-3 times a week for about 6 months, they get stretch and get 'soft' and are not as good a support as when they were new, so I buy several pairs a year. After a while the laces wear out from friction on the eyelets and may snap, but you can replace these fairly easily. All in all, a very good brace for the price, and I would recommend them. ... show more

  • Quality Ankle Brace - McDavid Delivers Again!
Size: Large Color: Black
For starters, we purchased the medium ankle brace first, and then the large ankle brace. The reason we purchased both was because we wanted one for each my wife and myself, but thought that the medium would fit me. My foot falls right between medium and large, so the medium was a little on the tight side. Especially with a swollen ankle/foot! The large size fit a LOT more comfortably. One big suggestion due to the above would be to anyone that falls right between medium/large to end up getting the larger size as it should suit your needs better. Its just a suggestion though! Don't kill the messenger (: Okay, onwards and forwards - to the meat and potatoes of the review. I've worn this thing literally dozens of times over the last 9 months or so, and its performed flawlessly. Its very comfortable, and I can fit it just fine in my shoes [K-Swiss, Etnies, DCs] and it fits a little tight in some Danner boots, but it is what it is. The shoe lace is plenty long, and what I do is after getting everything nice and tight before finally tying the laces, I wrap them once around on the top, and then tie 'em and voila, done. Its better than having loose lases roaming around your shoe and whatnot. For the price, its hard to beat it. Its a quality product as most [if not all] of McDavid's products are. Have only used a few [including knee braces] and they have all worked wonderfully. They do what they say they do, at a reasonable price. What's more to ask for? This ankle brace also helps prevent my foot from swelling [before taking it off and raising my ankle] when I am having certain issues, so there is a preventative aspect of it as well. We definitely recommend this for anyone needing an ankle brace. You will not be disappointed. ... show more

  • Flexible but sturdy
Size: Large Color: Black
Rolled my ankle playing pickleball. This has allowed me to get back on the court for a state tournament before the ankle is fully healed. It stabilizes the ankle and is fairly comfortable. I have a friend who wears it all the time to help provide ankle stability. I may do the same. It is very adjustable and is flexible enough to allow you a reasonable amount of movement. Feel confident with the protection it provides. And it is sturdy enough to remind not to try to exceed what my ankle can provide at this time. Overall very happy with this product. ... show more
