Ankle Brace Support Stabilizer – Compression Sleeve, Adjustable – Great for Running, Tennis, Sprains, Volleyball

So, Like the klutz that I am, I twisted my ankle so bad I tore some ligaments in my ankle and now my healing time is double what I thought it would be. Idiot! My Chiropractor, also my brother (lucky me), recommended I wear something that supported my "ankle mortise". That or keep it taped... and we both knew I was too unreliable for that nonsense. That and he saw I would forget the word "mortise" five minutes after walking out the door so there we were in the clinic shopping the Zon together on my phone. I needed something that would still allow me to tie my shoelaces and give me a bit of flexibility to move and twist while I walk this boneheaded move off for the next couple months. We decided on this one and I must say (without bribery) this sleeve is the bee's knees! Okay, so maybe SharpeZone asked. We've never met, but they emailed me (practically begging) with some canned letter that pointed out that they're a small company and how vitally important reviews like this are. Well, Mike at SharpeZone, you're welcome. Thanks for making BA knits. Back to the review: Not too tight that my toes are turning colors (which is what would happen if I wrapped it muh-self) and just enough added support with the straps that I can already tell a difference with how I'm healing up. I hobbled a little more gracefully at the beginning of the week, and now I'm not sure but I don't think anyone notices that I stumbled into a pothole while looking up at the stars that fateful night. Orion was out, I had to find the belt. Anyways, yep. I like the "Ankle Support Brace - Compression Sleeve with adjustable Strap for Perfect Fit – Great for Running, CrossFit, Ankle Sprains". I mean the name is so SEO, ya know. So, if you're looking at this thing, thinking "I like my ankle, and it needs some support, but is this the right product for me?" The answer is yes. Buy your ankle this thing instead of that other stupid one you're looking at. And don't think about it too long either. Your ankle needs you to stop procrastinating. You only got two ankles ya know, and people seem to notice when you only care about taking care of one and just let the other one go.

There are so many compression sleeves put there its hard to choose, I purchased this product and was drawn in by the over color scheme and the x-strap. Overall I am 100% happy with the purchase, I thought the x-strap was detachable but it is not. But thats not a bad thing, the sleeve with the strap feels amazing on my ankle and I noticed almost instant relief on my ankle and heel. Before I bought this product I bought a generic sleeve from walmart and used a bandage wrap and those don't come close to the relief this product has brought. After a few weeks of wearing the product on a daily basis my ankle is much better and feels like it is healing. I can easily put a sock over the sleeve and it doesn't feel odd or bulky.So overall I am glad I spent a few extra bucks and got this product it was a little more than I wanted to spend but the fact my ankle is doing much better in just a few weeks it was worth it.

When I broke my ankle, I also had ligament damage so once I got out of the walking boot my physical therapist recommended a figure 8 support brace. This brace seems to provide support and my therapist approved. It's comfortable to wear, easily adjustable, and doesn't make my foot hot.The only reason I took away a star is because I worry about how it will hold up long term. The "velcro" tabs fasten extremely well but sometimes in unfastening them the fabric they are attached to fuzzes a little bit - not so much that it pills or develops loose threads, but enough that you wonder if it might in the future. I haven't had them long and I haven't seen any degradation of performance. I also assume they will last through my particular strain recovery. But if you were planning on wearing this for a longer time I'm not sure how it would perform after, say, a year.Still, for an ankle sprain, I would recommend these.

I don't usually write reviews but I thought this product was well worth the time. I have struggled with heel spurs for quite some time. It will actually bring me to my knees at times especially when I first touch the ground after sleeping or sitting for a while. I am also a runner and needed some support to help with the pain. I was starting to walk and run on the outsides of my feet to accommodate for the pain so it was starting to affect me in other ways. This product gives me so much support and helps me walk normally again. Is it a cure.....no but a huge improvement. I like the fact that I can adjust with the Velcro tabs to make it as tight or loose as I want.It does come in a package of one and now that I have tried it I will be ordering another one for the other foot.

This compression support brace is the truth. 5 weeks post ankle avulsion fracture - progressed from crutches to walking boot to finally being able to bear weight in a sneaker with some form of ankle support. I tried several types of ankle support, from the lace-up style to a heel-cupped brace, but this beat them all. The sleeve alone provides great compression, and the two velcro wraps provide ample additional support. My pain level and overall comfort are greatly improved while wearing this. In addition, it was the sleekest, lowest profile of the many i tried. Easily able to pull a sock over it and get it inside of a shoe. Can even wear flip-flops with it (not that that's a great idea when you're in earliest stages of regaining stability). I am a men's size 11, normal arch, size L-XL fits great.
