This brace has been very comfortable and is the most supportive brace I’ve ever worn.
The only thing I’ll say is make sure you wear long socks (should always wear socks with a brace anyways) to buffer it rubbing against your skin directly, and if you have wide feet (legit wide feet) you should consider buying one size up, I always have to buy EEE and W shoes because I have duck feet, short and wide. I’d normally wear an XS for this brace but I ordered a S because of my feet width and I still had to stretch it a bit so it wouldn’t be too constricting.
(I have high arches so this is from the PoV of someone with tiny feet and high arches, I can’t say how it fits for bigger feet or flat feet)
I’ve tried 4 braces after a really bad sprain.
I wear a 6.5 ladies shoe and have high arches. So far this is THE BEST for reducing mobility. But...it is very painful on the TOP of my foot, corresponding to the highest point of my arch.
I wore it for 3 hours, only on my foot for 20 minutes off and on (walking). It left a painful compression mark on the top of my foot. So I had to take it off and put an elastic wrap on it.
I’d return it, if I didn’t have it on for 3 hours.

Son comodas y se ajustan a tu pie muy bien.
I chose the size based on what was recommended. It fit perfectly well. It might take some time to put on if you're new to this, but it'll be easy after a while. Once you put it on, it may seem a bit odd as it truly does wrap around your ankle very securely. But after spending about 15 minutes warming up and doing quick lateral movements, I immediately got used to it. For the most part, it did not affect my gameplay and I didn't find it a hindrance at any time during the game.
It has yet to be tested during really rough games or when my legs are more fatigued. But since this ankle brace acts to prevent the injury, it's done an excellent job over my past five training sessions.
Bislang hatte ich - nach dem Airwalker zu Beginn - einige Orthesen. Sie erfüllten alle ihren Zweck. Einige trugen allerdings so stark auf, dass ich rechts einen größeren Schuh brauchte. Und bei allen war nach wenigen Monaten leider das Problem, dass die oft recht schmalen Klettverschlüsse nicht mehr hielten und die ganze Orthese unbrauchbar wurde.
Heute ging es zum ersten Mal mit der neuen Bandage los. Zunächst das Anlegen: Das liest sich in der Beschreibung komplizierter als es ist. Ich hätte es auch ohne Beschreibung nicht anders gemacht und brauchte eigentlich nur die Information, dass man beim rechten Fuß von links her anfangen muss. Von innen her eben. Das Ausziehen ist etwas mühsamer, geht aber auch.
Ich bekomme schnell Druckstellen und Blasen. Da die zwei Bänder, die man um den Fuß wickelt, nicht flexibel sind, befürchtete ich hier entsprechendes Malheur. Ging aber super. Keine Blasen oder Druckstellen.
Natürlich trägt auch diese Bandage etwas auf. Ich brauchte aber keinen größeren Schuh. Turnschuhe, Halbschuhe und Wanderschuhe sind kein Problem.
Auch diese Bandage arbeitet zum Teil mit Klettverschlüssen. Diese sind aber richtig groß (lang und breit). Daher gehe ich im Moment mal davon aus, dass die etwas länger halten werden.
Bislang hatte ich immer auf deutlich teurere Bandagen zurückgegriffen. Muss aber nicht sein. Das ist jedenfalls mein Fazit nach dem heutigen ersten Test.
