Best brace and really fits in the shoe. Great support, plus easy on easy off…

I bought 2 different braces after my ankle gave out on me twice while building a deck. My ankle seems to roll sideways for some reason, so I thought I’d try wearing a brace.I bought this brace and one called an ultra zoom. Both are good, but I like the way this one is so easy to put on; feels snug & secure, yet still allows for good movement; slips into my shoe easily; and is comfortable enough to wear all day. I usually don’t even remember that I’m wearing it. I have been able to wear it in my Xtratuf boots, but it’s a very tight fit.I’m a biologist, so I’m frequently wading through streams, or walking over rough and sometimes steep terrain in the middle of nowhere by myself. Having a brace that I can rely on is critical.So far I’ve had no further issues with my ankle, and I think the brace has done it’s job.I wear a shoe size of 11 and got the medium size. My ankle circumference is 13”.

I had to order a bigger size even though I was going by the size chart.. went from a size S to M.. I have a wide foot 8.5-9 in Women's... it fits perfect. I noticed a big difference in my walking.. I have drop-foot with over pronation, so I drag my foot. I wore it for a few hours barefooted too and not once did I trip like I do because my foot drags. 😁😁😁 Very happy how this brace keeps my foot from dragging. Very impressed. I did have to put extra Velcro on the bottom cause I had extra material dragging or else it would've been a 5⭐️

I struggled to find a low-profile ankle brace that would fit in soccer shoes which are very thin and light weight. Most braces were too bulky on the sides and especially on the bottom of the foot where too much material and zero padding in soccer shoes made me feel like I was running on my arches. This brace stabilized my ankle very well, and then strap that went under the foot was thin enough to not cause too much discomfort. I had zero ankle roll with this on and was able to adjust the tightness so that I could still flex my foot enough to point my toe to take shots. Touch was still a little off wearing the brace but was much more manageable than the other braces I tried. Well worth the money.

The plastic part that goes around the ankle is firm, but the rest of the material is too flimsy to hold it in place. Did not think the brace had any support whatsoever.

I was hesitant to purchase this because I thought it would be like every other brace I have used before. This thing is fantastic. I reinjured (sprained) my ankle last week. I have been trying another type, and it was just causing more pain. This brace immobilized the ankle, but it still allowed me to run and play pickleball. I don’t know how it works, but it does. My whole foot felt comfortable and safer than it has in years. Well done and well made product.

I bought this strap to alleviate a drop foot condition, for which it worked very well. But I had to give it only three stars because of their customer service. I broke the ankle strap, which I don't blame on the product but rather of two years of tugging on it, the problem is when I tried to order a replacement. I was shunted to three different departments getting comments which ranged from buy another brace ( which I likened to throwing out a pair of shoes because a shoestring broke) to "we don't make those straps any more". I feel that parts should be available, it isn't as though I was asking for a free strap, I wanted to buy the strap. So, good product, terrible service.

My ortho doc suggested this brace because the lace up style brace was causing immense pain after about 30 minutes to an hour. This thing is great. It provides support but doesn't put pressure on the achilles, which is what caused the pain for me. It is a bit more bulky than the lace up style, but I was still able to get it into my boot for work.
