McDavid Ankle Brace Ultralight for Sprained Ankle, Figure 8 Ankle Braces, Lace up Ankle Brace, Ankle Braces for Men and Women, Ankle Support Brace and Stabilizer

This was my third brace. Those stretchy neoprene braces are a waste of time if you are actually active. This thing locks the ankle and does its job. I was fighting Achilles tendinitis for a year, this has let me play through it with minimal to no pain.

Works great for sprained ankle. Very durable and provides enough support. Has a good stretch to it and not too thick.

Works great and fits in a normal shoe. You do have to remove laces to remove from foot. I have a high ankle sprain from wakeboarding.

I got this after a grade 2 sprained ankle. I am loving it. Very comfortable once you know how loose or tight to lace it. I haven’t worn it all day but I think I could. I wear it over a sports sock with sneakers and it works fine. I had no issues with chafing. I could not wear it with hiking boots though. Once you get used to putting it on and off it is not difficult. I tried another one that was neoprene and not lace up but it provided no stability. Would highly recommend this brace. I wear a women’s size 8 narrow shoe and the small fit great.

SENIOR SO IT TOOK A FEW TIMES TO MASTER PUTTING ON CORRECTLY..WAS GOING TO RETURN IT BUT NEED A FEW OF THESE NOT JUST ONE,SO I KEPT IT AND IT WILL BE MY MAIN ONE.I LAID IT OUT AND VIEWED WHAT IT WAS CONNECTED TO WHAT ..PASSED HEALING JUST MAINTAINING, . 90 YR CAREGIVER WIFE...THEN PUT IT ON A FEW TIMES AND NOW I AM A EXPERT.

Plenty of support and lots of adjustments where you need it.

Shoutout to the reviewer, Eugene, for the Zamst A2-DX ankle brace that led me here. I wanted something as comfortable and supportive as the Zamst, but didn't want to spend $75 on a brace. The McDavid has been nice, but I also haven't put it to the test. I have only used it for walking so I cannot speak to its longevity while playing sports, but I could see how the velcro could wear faster with sports play. The lacing seems like it would hold up.Careful with the sizing chart. I'm 6'1 and a size 12 shoe so I bought the XL which turned out to be way too large. I returned it and got the Large which fits nicely.

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 expensiveZamst A2-DX Left Ankle Brace, Black, LargeWhen 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 gameASO Ankle Stabilizer, Black, X-LargeBest price, design and durabilityMcDavid 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.
