Bracoo Ankle Support Brace For Men & Women, Adjustable Compression Sleeve Strap Wrap, Sprain, Arthritis, Pain Relief, Sports Injuries and Recovery, Breathable Neoprene Brace, FS10

This brace was indispensable in healing a Grade 2 foot sprain that I sustained recently. I inverted my foot with all my weight on it and overstretched my fibularis ligaments and probably my peroneus longus tendon, too. I don't think that I tore anything, but it certainly is possible because my fifth metatarsal area (outside of foot) immediately swelled up, became red, and felt quite painful. I couldn't put any weight on the foot, so I hobbled, hopped, and limped around for a few days. Icing throughout the day, elevating the foot, and rubbing arnica and Penetrex cream helped the pain and swelling a lot, but I still couldn't walk right after two weeks, and the sprain seemed to be getting worse. Then, I saw a podiatrist who took x-rays, determined it wasn't a fracture, and wrapped my foot in the same configuration as an ankle brace. I ordered this from Amazon because it was made out of waterproof Neoprene so I could wear it swimming, wore it for a few days, and felt a dramatic improvement in my sprain. Within days, I was able to walk without a brace normally again. My foot ligaments are still healing, so I have to hold off on hiking and running for a couple weeks longer to be safe, but I'm convinced that wearing this brace gave my ligaments and tendons the support and break they needed to heal faster. I later learned that braces such as this one are recommended in healing ankle and foot sprains. I wear a women's size 9 shoe, and this brace fit very well. Due to its long straps and strong construction, with a generous opening for the heel, I think it would serve all sizes for men and women, up to and including men's size 12/13. It can fit under a sock, but I think it would make slipping the foot into shoes uncomfortable and/or difficult. I wore relaxed-fit Crocs flips and clogs while using it. It did not make my foot sweaty, either. I recommend this ankle brace and really wish that I had begun wearing it right after my sprain. I would have healed so much faster.

Got this brace in two days after ordering on prime day. Didn't think I would get it so quickly considering the amount of items that were purchased that day, but Amazon came through as always. Brace was perfect for what I needed it for. I was born with a club foot and wore braces for a few years growing up and never had good stability in it. I always wore a lace up ankle brace through sports growing up. Need I say they aren't very comfortable and always seemed to wear blisters when worn for long periods of time. I've used many neoprene braces for running and they never gave the needed support I was looking for during long distance running. This brace was a good medium ground between the two. It gives me enough support to keep me from rolling an ankle but also gives me the freedom of movement so I don't affect my stride. The best thing about this support is you can easily adjust it with just a few readjustments of the sturdy velcro straps. During my first mile I noticed I had the strap too tight and it was causing my foot to tingle. I stopped pulled my shoe off and had it readjusted before my heart-rate even dropped. I continued on to another 4 miles and never had any more problems. The only complaint I had was that my foot got pretty hot during my run but that could be from the second layer and possibly the 97 degree Oklahoma weather. Despite this small problem I would definitely buy this product again, especially at $9. SUCH A DEAL!

I bought two, one for my 12 year old daughter and one for myself. We both wear a size 7/7.5 ladies shoe and have very tiny ankles. This fits well and is comfortable over socks (haven't worn it bare against the skin) and it fits into sneakers, but not my snug leather boots. So, my daughter has loose joints of the hips, knees and ankles that I so graciously passed on to her during her time of conception. She has been running track at school and having a lot of joint pain, but she reports that this ankle support is most definitely helping her run without pain in her ankle. I actually bought her the Bracoo neoprene knee support too, but that was awkward, not form fitting, very bulky, had a lot of folds and slid around on her, so I returned it. I actually wear this product sometimes just during the day...as my L ankle will start aching for no apparent reason or from wearing unsupported shoes. This definitely stabilized the joint and allowed me to walk around during the day pain free as well. Just two things to keep in mind... 1. I wore this upon waking to going to bed for a week or two every day...and I started having nerve issues in the anterior and distal part of my foot sending shooting tingles that would go down to my toes. Most likely due to over-compression of the delicate nerves of the top of the foot. I stopped wearing it for a week and then that went away. 2. If you have a severe sprain/strain you may need more support and/or an immobilizer for the joint than what this neoprene offers.

I bought this brace because I was looking for something easy to put on to help support my sprained ankle. This is certainly easy to put on, but offers minimal support, so that I rarely wear it. However, for those looking for a thin, lightweight brace that offers just a little support, this may work. THIS DID NOT OFFER MUCH SUPPORT FOR A WOMAN WITH SMALLER ANKLES/FEET, BUT DID WORK WELL FOR A MAN WITH MODERATELY-SIZED ANKLES. Update: my husband had a moderate ankle sprain and purchased this, without any input from me. As it turns out, he really likes it, because it is lightweight, easy to put on, and offers enough support for him to get through a day at the office, or a round of golf with a cart (he is back to golfing after the swelling & bruising resolved, although it is still achy). It seems to work well for him because of his size; he is of moderate build and wears an 8 1/2 shoe. This probably did not work as well for me because I wear a size 6 1/2-7, and although I brought the opposing straps as close together as possible, it just did not seem tight enough. Over 7 months, I have tried 6 different ankle braces. For comparison, the Neo-G brace offers moderate support and is my go-to brace because of comfort, support and ease-of-use. I also like the McDavid 432 ankle brace with strap, which is just a bit more supportive than the Neo-G brace, but because of shoulder injuries, I have some difficulty putting the McDavid brace on. The ASO stabilizing orthosis and Swede-O easy lok adjustable ankle brace were also uncomfortable, rubbing in the wrong places, although the most supportive. The OTC ankle support brace with wraparound strap was a disappointment; it was too large to offer an support, although I ordered a small.

Great support for middle of foot

I ordered this ankle brace along with several other kinds found on Amazon.com. My left ankle has recurring tendon problems from an ankle sprain decades ago. I was looking for something to help alleviate the pain of walking and standing, and also allow me to exercise without pain. This has turned out to be the best performer for many reasons. First, it is adjustable, soft, and stretchy yet very supportive. Others were either too soft offering no support, or too scratchy/stiff so that they did not allow for natural movement. It is easy to put on, much easier than the lace up and as easy as zip up braces. The stretchy material is soft and thin enough to allow you to wear this with shoes, and my only wish is that they offered it in a nude/flesh color. I also am able to sleep with this brace on comfortably. One note, my ankle is large, but the stretchy material allowed me to wear it no problem. There is a possibility that if you have large ankles you might want to put a small piece of Rock Tape on the top of the foot to ensure that there is no rubbing of the exposed velcro.

These ankle supports are NOT worth owning. 1. They do NOT fit properly, applied correctly, they slip around. 2. If applied tight enough not to slip about, they cut off blood circulation to the foot. 3. They truly do NOT offer "support' of the ankle. In order to offer true "SUPPORT", they would need to have some sort of support other than a piece of material, such as what the wrist braces have - hard plastic or metal, to support. There is No Way a 'one size fits all (or, most) Ankle Support system COULD, conceivably, have a proper SUPPORT system - if metal or hard plastic Were involved, it might hit the ankle bone on the side, or, across the top, etc. I purchased TWO, one for each foot. When I FIRST put them on, my reaction was one of being pleased. After having worn it less than two hours, sitting down most all of that time, they began to slip. I read the instructions, again, and tried tightening them, even though I had them on properly to begin with. They then cut off circulation. The two good things I felt while wearing them was WARMTH where the material was at, but if it were summer, and HOT outside, that wouldn't have been such a great thing, anyway. Secondly, they gave a pressure to the area where they were at, after tightening to the extreme, to keep them on/up. That felt good, up until I realized it had made my feet go numb. I have an average to slim sized foot, can wear between a size 7 women's to an 8 in women's shoe, depending on the maker of the shoe. I can not imagine these fitting a person whose feet were any wider than mine, due to the way the velcro faster is sewed onto the material (there wouldn't be enough velcro to fit the material). Neither can I imagine these fitting a person with a slimmer foot than mine, as the velcro would have not worked properly, that way, either. Thank Goodness for Amazon Return Policy. I called Amazon's 1 - 800 number, told of the problem (they don't fit properly), was sent (via email) a return label, and given a full refund once they received the item.

I'm very surprised this product has only a 3.9 star rating. The product itself is quality. I've been wearing mine daily for 3 or more weeks I believe and it's still in new condition, is not stretched out or raggedy looking. I hurt my ankle somehow about 4 weeks ago (no clue how. The pain came on suddenly. I thought maybe a sprain). The support of this product has been amazing. Within days of wearing it my ankle started to feel better. I wear a size 7.5 (woman's) and the brace fits perfect. I can make it super snug for extra support or wear it just fitting, too. I imagine however if your feet are a size 8.5 or larger it might be uncomfortably tight. (That's just my opinion, I really don't know for sure of course). I wear a high sock under mine because the Velcro that secures the brace around the ankle can kind of dig into the top of your foot just enough to irritate it.

Ich habe mir die Sprunggelenkbandage gekauft, weil ich nach einer unterstützenden Lösung für meine Knöchelprobleme gesucht habe – speziell wegen leichter Schmerzen durch Plantarfasziitis und einer alten Verstauchung. Nach ein paar Wochen Nutzung bin ich echt zufrieden und möchte meine Erfahrungen teilen. Die Bandage kommt in einer schlichten, aber praktischen Verpackung und ist sofort einsatzbereit. Sie ist aus einem atmungsaktiven Material, das sich super weich auf der Haut anfühlt, und hat verstellbare Klettverschlüsse, mit denen man die Passform genau anpassen kann. Ich habe Schuhgröße 46, und die Größe L/XL passt perfekt – nicht zu eng, aber auch nicht so locker, dass sie rutscht. Das Design ist unauffällig, schwarz und flach, sodass man sie problemlos unter Socken oder in Schuhen tragen kann, ohne dass es aufträgt. Der Tragekomfort ist echt top. Ich habe die Bandage beim Wandern, beim Sport (z. B. Joggen) und sogar im Alltag getragen, und sie gibt genau den richtigen Halt, ohne einzuschnüren. Besonders die extra Schlaufe um die Ferse und den Mittelfuß sorgt dafür, dass der Knöchel stabilisiert wird, ohne dass man sich eingeschränkt fühlt. Meine Plantarfasziitis-Schmerzen sind deutlich besser geworden, und auch bei längeren Spaziergängen merke ich, dass mein Knöchel weniger schnell ermüdet oder wehtut. Die Verarbeitung wirkt solide. Die Klettverschlüsse halten bombenfest, auch nach mehrfachem An- und Ausziehen, und das Material zeigt nach ein paar Wäschen (per Hand, wie empfohlen) keine Abnutzung. Praktisch finde ich, dass die Bandage für beide Füße passt – einfach umdrehen und fertig. Sie ist auch relativ dünn, was super ist, weil sie nicht schwitzen lässt, selbst bei wärmerem Wetter. Ein kleiner Kritikpunkt: Am Anfang musste ich ein bisschen rumprobieren, um die perfekte Einstellung der Klettverschlüsse zu finden, damit nichts drückt. Eine kurze Anleitung mit Tipps zur Anpassung wäre hilfreich gewesen, aber nach ein, zwei Versuchen hatte ich den Dreh raus. Außerdem könnte die Bandage für sehr kräftige Waden oder super schmale Knöchel vielleicht nicht optimal sitzen, aber für mich war’s kein Problem.

夫が仕事で捻挫したと言うので急いで購入しました。 わりと腫れていた足首で歩く度に痛みがあったそうですが、こちらを付けると安定して痛みもひいたとの事です。 安全靴を履くと少しきついみたいです。

Simple, pratique et efficace pour une entorse de la cheville. Parfait

I have a size 9 foot and this was ideal to use in combination. I had torn my ligament off the bone. During the day I’d have my foot strapped, but when my partner wasn’t available to do this I used this to give protection in the mean time. It’s comfortable, maybe a little difficult with different footwear. Okay for wearing with sandals. I think it’s a good product and have utilised it since I purchased it.

This product is very good indeed. With Hypermobility Syndrome (multiple, overextending, dislocating unstable painful inflamed joints) I am someone who is spending a lifetime in braces, immobilizers, splints and supports. I wear immobilizing ankle supports which are great when weight bearing and moving but too restrictive and rigid when relaxing. I purchased this Bracoo ankle support without expectation a month ago and have worn it most days since. It's supportive whilst still being flexible, and the ankle still has a full range of movement. It's comfortable to wear for hours at a time with soft breathable material which washes just fine in warm soapy water. I have also popped it into the washing machine. It dries quickly too and retains it's shape. It holds my ankle in position whilst I'm relaxing and toddling around, easing allot of the pain and discomfort. You can adjust the support to fit tighter or looser easily with the velcro connectors. It fits really well and because this product is slimline and not bulky, I have found that I am able to wear it inside most shoes and boots, it becomes a part of you. The only one slight niggle I have is that after many hours or all night, it creates a pressure point at the heal - not surprising after such a length of time, easily solved though - wear a sock or plaster. For me this ankle support is amazing, I'm so thrilled and I certainly intend to try more Bracoo products. Excellent value for money, a hospital quality product.
