McDavid Ankle Brace Ultralight for Sprained Ankle, Figure 8 Ankle Braces, Lace up Ankle Brace, Ankle Braces for Men and Women, Ankle Support Brace and Stabilizer

I got this after a grade 2 sprained ankle. I am loving it. Very comfortable once you know how loose or tight to lace it. I haven’t worn it all day but I think I could. I wear it over a sports sock with sneakers and it works fine. I had no issues with chafing. I could not wear it with hiking boots though. Once you get used to putting it on and off it is not difficult. I tried another one that was neoprene and not lace up but it provided no stability. Would highly recommend this brace. I wear a women’s size 8 narrow shoe and the small fit great.

SENIOR SO IT TOOK A FEW TIMES TO MASTER PUTTING ON CORRECTLY..WAS GOING TO RETURN IT BUT NEED A FEW OF THESE NOT JUST ONE,SO I KEPT IT AND IT WILL BE MY MAIN ONE.I LAID IT OUT AND VIEWED WHAT IT WAS CONNECTED TO WHAT ..PASSED HEALING JUST MAINTAINING, . 90 YR CAREGIVER WIFE...THEN PUT IT ON A FEW TIMES AND NOW I AM A EXPERT.

I like this brace a lot!COMFORTIt’s a lot more comfortable than others I’ve tried, which have the metal support on the sides.COMPRESSIONThe compression is evenly distributed around my entire ankle. I appreciate that it can be tightened with the shoe strings and the Velcro.SUPPORTIt provides high support without the discomfort of the metal strips that many other braces put on the sides. My ankle is completely stabilized in this brace.COSTThe price is fair for a good quality brace.DURABILITYThis brace appears to be far more durable than other braces I’ve tried. For instance, I have one by ACE, which has lint balls on it after just one week.BULKINESSThis brace is a bit bulky than others I’ve tried. I suppose due to the figure-8 style where the straps wrap around the arch of the foot, it’s nearly impossible to wear shoes. I’ve been wearing either Birkenstocks, Nike slides, or low UGG boots. (-½ star)GETTING IT ON/OFFPutting it on and taking it off as proven to be a bit more difficult than I would like. Since the brace keeps my ankle so secure, it makes sense that it’s difficult to take off, but it’s also inconvenient to take off. I literally have to loosen the laces all the way down the brace before being able to remove it. (-½ star)OVERALLThis ankle brace works well for me. I’d certainly recommend it to a friend.

Plenty of support and lots of adjustments where you need it.

I had previously bought a similar brace and it was thicker and too bulky making it uncomfortable. I took a chance with my wallet and got this one and don’t regret it. While it’s thinner, it’s still very supportive and keeps my ankle in place providing the support it needs.

Bien tobillera tiene muy bien ajuste cuando juego basket siento que no me voy a poder doblar el pie y no molesta en nada

Top ankle Velcro strap needs to be longer as not to pull so tightly just to connect

Shoutout to the reviewer, Eugene, for the Zamst A2-DX ankle brace that led me here. I wanted something as comfortable and supportive as the Zamst, but didn't want to spend $75 on a brace. The McDavid has been nice, but I also haven't put it to the test. I have only used it for walking so I cannot speak to its longevity while playing sports, but I could see how the velcro could wear faster with sports play. The lacing seems like it would hold up.Careful with the sizing chart. I'm 6'1 and a size 12 shoe so I bought the XL which turned out to be way too large. I returned it and got the Large which fits nicely.
