Slim-Fit Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle, Velcro Lace Up Ankle Support for Women Men with 2 Auto-Shaped Pads, Air Fabric Cool Ankle Stabilizer for Injury Recover, Running,Sports, L(13”-14”)

First let me say that the WHCOOL Customer Support Team goes above and beyond. I appreciate all they did to ensure I was satisfied with their product. They reached out after my purchase, quickly responded to my questions, and then sent a replacement which fits better. I have had a drop foot for over 20 yrs. Some years I was good and wore a leg brace (- cumbersome and required larger shoes to fit the bulky brace). Some years I went without a brace or any support (- which led to many stumbles and falls when my foot would snag and trip me up). I found that wearing hiking boots was a decent compromise but even that isn’t ideal year after year. I had tried an ankle brace in the past but it, too, was bulky in my shoe and only did a mediocre job of keeping my foot from dropping when I walked. What caught my eye with reviews for this brace was that it is thin enough to fit well into shoes. I agree. My foot slides into my normal shoe just fine while wearing the brace. And the brace provides LOTS of support. Ideally I want something that will keep my leg-foot in an L (- 90 degrees) position and keep my foot from dropping when I walk (- which is why hiking boots were a decent compromise.) This brace holds my foot and leg firmly yet comfortably … and I can wear it with my regular shoes. I like how easy it is to cinch the laces snug. And how firm and rigid it holds my ankle. Wins all around. For me this brace isn’t simply a short term solution for a sprained ankle (- which it would also be excellent for) but a long term solution for a permanent problem. So glad I found and purchased this brace.

This has been the best ankle brace ever. I broke my ankle and ordered this brace while I was still in the boot. Started wearing this brace as soon as I was cleared to switch from a boot to a brace, and it has been a game changer. I use it during any form of exercise, specifically while coaching basketball practices. I truly believe that this brace has saved me from any further injuries during said practices. I also used to wear it everyday after my injury. The support on it is amazing, but still flexible enough to be able to move on the court, at work, while driving, etc. Another added bonus is that it fits inside any shoe (I have to loosen laces a bit, but still fits well and isn’t uncomfortable). I would highly recommend this brace to anyone with any sort of ankle injury.

I chose this sleeve because it was the least expensive version of this kind of brace at the fastest shipping speed. I realized after two weeks of continued swelling and discomfort, my twisted ankle was not really without actual support. ACE and regular compression stockings were just not cutting it. It's a little like a puzzle to get it on but once you get the groove it's easy enough for a relatively mobile person to get on. If you have any difficulty with putting on socks and shoes, you'll probably need help applying this brace. It offers support, which is the primary reason for a brace, so it does what it's supposed to. Mine arrived brand new, security sealed in a packet with instructions that are clear and a small gift of a compression ankle garment, which was a nice surprise that I don't have to buy one separately now. The material is high quality and the velcro is crazy-sticky, so be mindful you dont let it touch your socks or sweater because it will absolutely get good and stuck. For what I paid, the fast shipping, the apparent quality and the comfort, I would say I got a good deal and I'm fully satisfied with my purchase. The photo is the brace on my left ankle, with compression stocking under and grippy sock over top to keep the brace tidy. I don't think I could fit this in one of the shoes I own but would have to get a size up and wide width. If you're here shopping for a brace, wishing you a quick recovery!

If I could give this 20 stars, I would! Out of all the different braces I’ve bought for my ankles, this one is hands down the #1 winner. ​I put these through the ultimate 'workhorse' test: shoveling the driveway and sidewalks, mowing the lawn, and walking 15 miles a day in the snow while my ankles were in serious pain. These braces were the only thing that got me through. They work perfectly and, most importantly, they are not bulky at all. They are very easy to put on and assemble right out of the box. ​One quick tip: After a couple of months of heavy use and washing, the Velcro on the straps does weaken slightly, but they still work perfectly fine for me. I’m so impressed that I’m actually buying a few more pairs. If you’re looking for the best support without the extra weight, these are it!

Great quality, relatively easy to figure out how to put on and the sellers even included a sleeve as a gift! This ankle brace provides support, is engineered well, and is comfortable to wear. It's a little thick so you'll need to loosen your tennis shoes if wearing out and about but overall, a great product for the price and is exactly what I need until I can figure out the next steps for my ankle issue!
