Bodyprox Ankle Support Brace, Breathable Neoprene Sleeve, Adjustable Wrap!

I've had this support a few months and have worn it on and off when my ankle is causing me most pain. My ankle has internal scar tissue that impinges and causes swelling, particularly after after walking on uneven ground - even wearing walking boots. When it gets bad, sitting for long periods (for my job), causes swelling that exacerbates the pain. At the suggestion of a consultant I tried a number of supports, including lace-up ones, but the others I tried just made the pain worse when walking. This ankle support provides enough compression and a moderate amount of support which does seem to help keep the swelling down. It's comfortable enough to wear for long periods and not so bulky that it can't be worn inside boots or shoes. It's got no rigid lateral inserts, so is not going to prevent ankle inversion, but it's not claiming to be that type of support. For that, something like an Aircast A60 or Thuasne Malleo Dynastab (neither of which I've tried) would be more suitable). As for longevity, at some point it will need replacing, but that's just the nature of the contruction - there's only so much wear that stitched fabric tensioned by elastic straps can take. It seems to be well made with reasonable materials, and at this price point offers good value for money. You could easily pay the same (around £10) for a slip-on neoprene support with no adjustment. Everyone's ankle (and injury) is different so what suits me might not suit you, but overall, I'm pretty pleased with this.

I found this to be very helpful for arthritic ankle. I have felt as if I was walking on a sprained ankle for many months and I have tried all sorts of remedies. This is much better than a crepe bandage. It is quite easy to put on if you make sure the little white label is at the top right hand corner as you lay it flat. I am now able to walk much better and not in as much pain. The velcro fastenings are very strong so anyone with weak hands might find difficulty in removing the support at night.

Soft, elastic, but provide good support for the ankle joint. Easy to use. Comfortable fasteners. Can be adjusted to fit your foot and adapted to your injuries.

Great in supporting my ankle, had a bad sprain a couple of years ago and it keeps going again. Hopefully with this I can get moving sooner !

It did a basic job but would not be sufficiently supportive for a serious ankle ligament strain. The strap was however comfortable to wear and easy to apply.

Excellent item

Why did you choose this product over others?: Ordered this as I went over on my ankle. This support was easy to wear and rather comfortable. It gave correct pressure ro my ankle to support with the swelling. I was able to put more pressure on my foot too! Definitely recommend.
