MEDIZED® Ankle Brace, Stabilizer, Lace Up Adjustable Support, Stirrup Compression – for Running, Basketball, Volleyball, Injury Recovery, Sprain, Ankle Wrap for Men, Women, and Children (Small)

I had a badly swollen angle that I wanted to protect. I found this item was easy to adjust to fit my swollen ankle while wearing it with a trainer or a walking boot. I recommend wearing a sock underneath for comfort. It is robust so I expect it to be long lasting. I got the medium size and my normal shoe/boot size is UK 8.

A few things concerned me from the pictures and reviews before I finally decided to just buy and try it. I sprained my ankle pretty badly and wanted to give it it’s best chance to heal properly and also get back to work asap (I work 12 hour shifts in a nursing home so am on my feet for almost that entire time).My first concern was that people said it was too complicated, fiddly, and too time consuming when putting it on. I will summarise my experience by saying that if you have ever put on a lace up boot or roller skate, you can put this on too. I pull the laces all the way out of the top hole, then just loosen the rest to get it on or off. Then just tighten the laces as normal. The straps simply wrap from the back, one round the right, the other round the left. Doing one at a time bring it to the front, cross over the top. your foot, wrap down around the underside of your foot and velcro up beside your ankle... then repeat with the other strap, crossing it over the first strap on top of your foot. I have loosely timed myself putting this on and it takes under one minute.My next concern was that it was flimsy and didn’t offer much support. Basically, wearing this offers an amount of support that means the difference between pain when not wearing it and no pain when I do. It is definitely supportive and stabilising through if you want something that allows zero movement this is not for you and to be honest, needing that degree of support probably means you have more than a severe sprain anyway.Looking at how much fabric goes beneath the foot I was concerned about it causing pain under my foot if I walked on it for long. This has not proven to be the case at all, even after consecutive 12 hour shifts.It might be too bulky for your shoes however. In anticipation of this, I ordered some black trainers to wear for work instead of my snug leather slip on safety shoes. Works perfectly... I just can’t lace the one with the brace up quite as closely as the normal one.The fabric is okay. Not amazing but not rubbish either.I sleep in it with no discomfort. I tried a night without it as I am giving my ankle a break during the day when at home and on the night I was without it, I woke myself yelping with pain as I turned myself over in bed... showing me it is doing it’s job.I could not have returned to work by now without this and it has been worth it’s weight in gold to me. Do your research on what type of support or brace would be best for your individual ankle issue and if it seems a lace up brace is the way to go, you won’t go far wrong with this one

This ankle support is absolutely excellent - I turned my ankle really badly and because i was in the middle of some work I couldn’t stop and rest my injury- the firm support and comfort it gave, helped me through. It’s fully adjustable, gives a great feeling of security and stability and i could still fit my boot on top of it. Loved it. One thing…. I was lent a size M ( my foot is a uk size 7.5) and guided by the size chart I ordered a size L for myself - but it was a little big and the instep strap wasn’t perfect- so I’ve needed to re-order a MMy local sports shop or chemist offers nothing like it- Really glad to have found it - essential part of first aid kit!

I've used these for a couple of months. I play 5-a-side football every week and have worn these while playing to protect an unstable ankle.Positives:- These definitely feel stable, the two big velcro straps work wonders in securing my ankle. If I try to simulate twisting my ankle the first point of resistance is the velcro strap, so I feel confident in the brace's ability to protect my ankle- The laces, while fiddly and tedious to undo (especially when trying to take the brace off) allow for a comfortable fit on the footNegatives:- While these are advertised to worn while playing a sport, I would not recommend these for running or playing football, I've taken two stars off the rating for this reason. The two big straps that are wrapped under your foot cause your foot to take an unnatural position in your shoe. This puts undue stress on your knee ligaments which have to do more work to help you stay balanced while running, especially in situations when you're playing 5-a-side and constantly changing direction. So yes you end up protecting your ankle, but at the cost of your knees.

After spraining my ankle from running this has been a blessing to use to alleviate the pain. These are probably the slimmest full braces you'll find before a compression sleeve so keep in mind fitting into shoes can be a challenge. If you use insoles you might want to remove those whilst wearing these braces.I like them quite tight and it does dig into my inner ankle bone a bit, but after enough time you get used to it and isn't so uncomfortable anymore. Bought 2 to use them during running and has worked fantastically. No more ankle pain!I'm a UK size 10.5 so I bought the large, the heel hole is a perfect fit but after tightening these up the shoelace hooks almost touch, so you might want to go for a medium if you're a size 8 or 9

Very uncomfortable, even painful to wear. Far too complicated to put on for the amount of support it should provide.Poor build quality and doesn’t work.I don’t understand why they’re all designed with that stupid ankle hole, it just means you’ve got this band of tightness and pressure right over the soft spots of your foot that just make wearing it painful.

Ankle sprain this is well made and works great. Little tricky to put on but worth it. Late on delivery for prime. This is a first so can’t complain.

Sitzt super kann ich nur weiter empfehlen

sujetan muy bien, cumple su función y a ayudado a curar un esguince, algo engorroso por tener que dedicarle tiempo a atar los cordones etc, pero merece la pena por la sujeción que da, no es incomodo y no hace daño

Prima volta che provo un prodotto del genere, visto che ero abituato alle fasciature con il taping tradizionale.La caviglia risulta rigida e inibita nelle torsioni che provocano distorsioni e slogature.La uso per il basket - a livello amatoriale - e da ottimi risultati.Probabilmente la ordinerò anche per l'altra caviglia.Acquisto da consigliare.BE

Il tutore è facilmente personalizzabile e rinforzato con due strappi in velcro che insieme garantiscono una maggiore protezione alla caviglia.Complimenti per il design e funzionalità!
