Active Ankle T2 Ankle Brace, Rigid Ankle Stabilizer for Protection & Sprain Support for Volleyball, Cheerleading, Ankle Compression Braces for Men & Women, White, Small

This is my second time buying this ankle brace, I highly recommend especially for athletes returning to a sport after an ankle injury. There is a foam lining that is very comfortable as long as you wear crew socks under. I like how you don’t need to buy one for a specific side and it can fit on either shoe, there are also size adjustments you can make for a more comfortable fit. I also like that the bottom piece slides under your shoe insole so you don’t have to keep taking it out or put it on before putting on the shoe. The only thing I don’t like about these braces are that they tend to stretch out the sides of your shoe if they are left in for long periods of time or if the shoe is tight around the ankle. They also look a bit bulky for those with bigger calves but they get the job done and that’s what really matters.

Really nice ankle brace. Will be using regularly for volleyball after a severe sprain. Provides a lot of lateral stability. Recommend putting foot pad under the sole of your shoe for additional stability.

I have coached volleyball for 20+ years and I have had athletes use these for years, But I actually bought these for my daughter who is at the junior high age. In my opinion. These are the best for volleyball. They are easy on easy off and provide the most support while allowing good range of motion. I’ve had players who don’t like how they feel on the bottom of the foot but I just have them pull up the lining inside the shoe and put the brace under that lining and they don’t even know it’s there.

Product seems to work well once you actually put on correctly. Had to have a PT help with it because you really have to adjust and keep adjusting to get it to work properly. It definitely is better than the lace ups.

This product worked great at first but after only one month of use it broke at the bottom. I haven't been hard on this brace at all. I was just walking and noticed it was loose and then after further inspection discovered it had completely snapped under no stress or impact.

Bought this about a month after an ankle surgery, when I was about to switch from airboot back to wear a normal shoe on the injured side. I wanted additional support on the ankle to be sure that I wouldn't break it again. But as I was browsing through the amazon reviews, I couldn't make up my mind for this one or the laced-with-strap one #1 Laced Ankle Brace With Stabilizing Strap For Flexible Support. Breathable Neoprene Braces Made By Product Stop. (Small) , so I bought both, I'd rather waste a little money than running the risk of getting injured again and going through another surgery. In the end, I don't think it's a waste at all, because both served me well, in different phases of recovery. As other reviewers mentioned that this one requires some "break-in", well, the break-in was way too painful for an ankle with nails and metal plates inside and right out of an airboot. The laced-with-strap one was NOT as flexible as their title sounds, but it offered painless sturdy support right after the airboot. The benefit of this one is for my healthy ankle or when the injured ankle completely healed and pain-free, then it has obvious advantages over the other: 1) easy to put on; I put it inside the shoe I am about to wear the next day the night before, so takes almost no additional time in the morning as I am leaving for work. The other one needs to be put on after the socks, so it will take a bit more time every morning. 2) This is good for long-hour activities. The other one, I felt the pain as the front edge rubbed to the bottom of my foot when I was walking for about 2~3 miles. This one had no problem like this at all, as its bottom is inserted under the sole of the athlete shoes. I didn't feel "break-in phase wearing this on my healthy ankle or months after the injure one completely healed. In summary, T2 is unbearably painful for an injured/recovering ankle to break-in; but once healed, T2 offers good support during long-hour exercise. I am glad I bought both during my recovery.

This ended up being very uncomfortable. I liked the idea of being able to fit either foot but it felt like it fit my left ankle and not the right ankle. It put too much pressure on my ankle bone that I was never able to wear it. It was difficult to get a shoe on with it as well. I was not a fan.

I twisted my ankle pretty badly several months ago. My doctor said I should avoid a second sprain while it healed (for two months) to prevent permanently stretching my ligaments. I wore this whenever I worked out (treadmill, hiking, Orange Theory) for about 6 months after my injury, long after my ankle pain was gone. It is so nice and flexible you will forget it's even there. It gave me so much confidence even when my ankle was still tender. I don't think you physically could roll your ankle in it. Now that I'm healed up my trainer recommended not wearing it, so my ankle can get stronger in all the little stabilizer muscles. But I actually bought a second one so that I can wear one on each ankle during long 10+ mile hikes, where my ankles tend to get wobbly by the end. I tried several ankle braces and this was by far my favorite.

Can be used while playing basketball. Does not affect your performance during getting rebound or avoiding some screens. Not really bothering me when doing shifty moves. Plus it helps my bad left ankle stable.

Es cómodo y me permite moverme bien. Lo uso para jugar dos partidos de 1hr cada uno y hasta el momento no me ha molestado. Posterior a eso me lo quito.

Esta bien solo que pensé que era la que tiene dos soportes, pero solo viene uno, gracias

sturdy

Great product, use it for volleyball after an ankle-sprain and it feels very secure with it both in trainings and playing competitively (more intense movement, less awareness about holding your ankle safe). It really helped get over the worry about my ankle and I can focus in the game 100%.
