Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer

The website description for size based on the second product image with the size chart differs than the product size guide on the product box itself leading consumers to buy the wrong size. I am a woman’s 7 so bought S but product guide then reveals I’m better suited for a XS. For something as important as an ankle brace, this is clearly not usable. And NOT ELIGIBLE for returns.

Excelente calidad de fabricación. Excelente precio. Definitivamente da muy buen soporte al tobillo. Da mucha seguridad al pisar. Ideal para jugar basketball.

This brace is great. I broke my ankle around 6 years ago in a high school lacrosse game, and have had issues with the ankle ever since. I wore various casts for around a year and went to PT for a little while but never did the exercises at home (didn't realize I'd start slowing down a little bit in my twenties lol). My ankle still aches sometimes and it gives out easily and rolls a lot. My doctor said that ankle injuries almost never heal 100%, and you can lose the elasticity of the tendons in your ankle, leaving them perma-wobbly. SO, I need some support when I run. I have tried more minimalistic braces, but they usually don't give the right amount of support. This brace works so well for two reasons: 1. the laces (yes, annoying and less attractive, but it makes all the difference. This also ensures that the brace will be tight enough even if you order one a little too big). 2. The side straps (totally immobilize your ankle to keep it straight and at a 45 degree angle, which is essential for healing). This brace is exactly the same as the one that my doctor gave me after I got out of the casts, so it's practically medical grade. I got the white one because it looks better with my running shoes. I was worried about it getting gross but the box says you can machine wash the brace. I wear a 6.5 women's shoe (U.S.), and I ordered a small. Fits perfectly. The sizing chart on the box is slightly different from the one posted here so I'll include a picture of that. Perfect overall for serious stability. Probably too constricting for someone looking for light or moderate support.

I know it's not exactly the intended purpose, but it works. Having flat feet means my ankle joints are rolled inward a lot (pronated). This isn't a problem for everyone that has it, but it makes my ankles have chronic pain of various levels. Usually not too bad, but after a day of walking or standing all day, it's debilitating. I discovered that forcibly holding my feet in a normal shape (holding the arch up) results in less pain over time, but that's really hard to do all day every day. So I thought these might help. Boy, do they ever! The very first day I worked in the yard all day long without a bit of pain at the time or the next day (which is usually the worst part). Walking on rough ground used to be awful, a small rock or hole unexpectedly changing my ankle angle side to side would almost bring me to the ground, and it seemed these events accumulated throughout the day into severe pain. With these braces on, that is virtually eliminated. I could probably jog on a gravel road. The ankles cannot get moved enough to hurt. And on top of all that, they're actually comfortable. I don't even want to take them off at the end of the day. Obviously they aren't intended for long term all day use, but I don't see how it could be worse than what I was experiencing. I'll probably end up only wearing them when my ankles are hurting or when I do activities that would otherwise cause them to hurt. I don't know if anyone else has the same problem I do, but I hope my insight helps. I can't recommend them enough.

I've purchased 5 different ankle braces and will post this same review for each one.I was looking for ankle brace the would give the most lateral support.I've injured both my ankles while playing ultimate Frisbee. I love the game and will continue playing no matter what.So wearing support is now a must for me otherwise I easily roll my ankle on a sharp turn or a stop during the game.So again, my intent is to use ankle support for already injured ankle while playing active sports.Brace that only helps "prevent" injury is useless, I'm already injured.For Ultimate Frisbee I need "ultimate" ankle support.So here is my list.1. Best support and price #1 Laced Ankle Brace With Stabilizing Strap For Flexible Support. Breathable Neoprene Braces Made By Product Stop. (Large) Plastic on both sides makes all the difference. I can tighten it with the straps as tight as I want. Foot stays flexible. I've played Frisbee at full strength and didn't have any pain from my injured right ankle.2. Best support as well, but expensive Zamst A2-DX Left Ankle Brace, Black, Large When I read in one of negative reviews for this product that it is too complicated to put on, that was a selling point for me.Brace that is easy to put on cannot give good support. A good brace would mold into your foot, it shouldn't be easy to put it on.So I got it, played at full speed and it was most of the time very safe.The only thing I didn't like is that material of the boot and the straps can stretch a little, so it make it quite flexible, but would let the ankle roll in some really extreme twist. I would sacrifice some of flexibility for a guarantee that it wouldn't let the ankle roll no matter what.3. These 3 braces have the same design, good basic support, but not good for ultimate game ASO Ankle Stabilizer, Black, X-Large Best price, design and durability McDavid 195 Deluxe Ankle Brace with Strap (Black, Large) More expensive than ASO, nicer look, good durability, but I don't like design of the straps (crossing straps should start from the back of the foot) Shock Doctor Ultra Wrap Lace Ankle Support (Black, Large,9-9.5) Price is OK, but not very durable. 7-10 games destroyed it quickly. #1 Laced Ankle Brace With Stabilizing Strap For Flexible Support.
