Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer - Lace Up Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle and Peroneal Tendonitis, Orthopedic Ankle Support for Men, Women, Adults, Teens and Kids, Sports Injury Recovery

At the risk of sounding like a 90s infomercial, look no further! THIS is the ankle brace you've been looking for! lol Okay, POV: You've been looking and comparing a bunch of different ankle braces on here, to help you while you're on the mend from some injury. Well I'm tellin' ya dudes & dudettes - THIS is the one you want... Don't skimp out because of the price, trust me - this one is worth it! The next best one on here doesn't even come close to being as supportive as this one. I showed this one compared to a slightly cheaper one I bought on here to my boyfriend who's a physical therapist - and he really liked this one, said it was the only one that provided any REAL support. So hey, its physical therapist approved! *can I get in trouble for saying that? is that technically a legal claim? lol* Just a couple pointers: #1 Use the sizing guide! Measure where it says to measure, don't just go by how big your feet or ankles are. Its not one-to-one the same as how the sizing works with this, so you might be surprised which size you end up being. Also keep in mind that your ankle might still be pretty swollen if you're post-injury. So be sure to take your current measurement, so that it will be a comfortable fit and not painful #2 I had a black one, but I thought white would be cute for Summer with white tennis shoes. Well, it *was*, until a week later when they started looking all dirty and gross lol I guess it depends on how much you sweat and what activities you're participating in... but I'd highly recommend to just go with black. It looks way better, trust me lol #3 On that note, make you're *washing* this ("gentle cycle/hand wash", yadda yadda...) as often as you would a pair of socks, unless you want stinky feet! A good portion of this wraps around the bottom of your foot and ankle, to where practically half of it sits IN the shoe. So that thing can get real stinky, real fast lol Even just a rinse every day/every other day, maybe some foot powder in there, you should be golden :) Addressing the specific aspects it says people want to know from reviews: Velcro durability... GREAT! I've had mine for years actually and it still grips tight and holds just as strong. If anything the straps do eventually start to go from worn in to worn out, but it takes a longgggg time to do that, years even, much longer than you'll likely be wearing it (in most cases). Again, depends on your activity level, but generally speaking, there's only *super* durable materials in this thing. Compression and wearability... Really good, has layered materials to ensure a comfortable evenly distributed compression & support around the entire ankle and arch of the foot. But for added comfort, esp if you're post-injury, I'd suggest a nice cushioned sock that covers the skin the brace would be in contact with. That should help it not cause any skin issues or discomfort. Adjustability... Freakin AWESOME, has tons of extra lace length (if you get your proper size), and a nice touch is there's a center point in the laces themselves that is sewn into/connected, so you're guaranteed an even knot tying experience witbout having to constantly adjust the laces one way or the other to get the ends to be even. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk. Over and out.

As I continue to recover from a bad sprain I’m now using this Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer In oder to allow me to walk while protected and stable, finding them to be comfortable and protective. After my injuries my wife ordered this Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer along with a boot from Amazon to help me heal. In both cases we are very happy with our choices. They arrived the next day thanks for Amazon Prime, and both have worked well for me. A few weeks ago I took a bad hit, spraining my right ankle and nailing my left knee (don’t ask). As I’ve recovered I’ve had to deal with a bruised foot, the sprain, and needing to support one, while not bothering the other. At this point I continue to have swelling in the ankle, deep bruising in the foot and ankle, but the need to get up and around. I’m finding this Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer to be giving me the support I need, but without pain to the deep bruising. Because of the nature of my injuries I’ve been unable to actually put this Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer or my previous boot on by myself. We cannot tell if this is a one person job, but throughout it’s had to be a job I cannot do from my position - so something to keep in mind, but again, it may simply be my injury. The Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer is lightweight and does not hinder my movement. It feels nice as it’s wrapped around the ankle, but again, it’s not hurting nor causing pain across the foot, though I feel protected. I am not wearing socks in these images - as you can see - but these were taken to test the size and take photos for this review. I have since worm them only with socks. While I did not find discomfort wearing no socks, I do feel I’m more comfortable walking with them WITH the socks - as if they give me a little more cushion, but also a feeling of protection. But I THINK I could go without and be fine. * I did wear them around the house that first time without socks for about an hour and I was fine. I like that the ties can be adjusted like a shoe in order to adjust tightness. We’ve worked a few times to get that just right, but it was easy to do and didn’t take too long. I feel the solid, but soft support along the ankle. It keeps me comfortable, but protected. I tried to use them in a pair of slip on casual shoes - the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer did not fit. I am using them in a pair of older gym shoes - I did not want to risk stretching my main pair of gym shoes - and find that the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer works well. My wife had to extend out the shoes and could not really tighten it all the way down - meaning the shoes do feel loose on the foot. But at this point I’m still doing limited walking. I think as I can walk more I’ll continue to use the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer at least another week, and I will have to figure out how to deal with the looser shoe. But as I need to feel protected and strength in the ankle, I’ll deal. In the end I’m very happy with the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer and will use it as long as I need it. And we’ll keep it around for any... what-if.

I have a history of injuries to my left foot since my teens. Various ankle and foot injuries over the past 20 years, doctors always tell me, "You must really hate your left foot!" Alas, it's been about a year since my last ankle sprain so it was time. About 6 days ago, I Slipped in my driveway from uneven ground and boom. Trying to maximize recovery and minimize downtime, I R.I.C.E'd it and kept off of it as much as possible all week. I wore an ACE deluxe stabilizer for the first couple of days while waiting for the ASO one and what a difference the ASO one made on the first day with it. I went from limited mobility and limping to now having comfortable, secure and firm support for my rolled ankle as I get around my house. It definitely makes an observable difference in my walking. I'm glad I picked this up for my recovery over the next weeks and months. I will be ordering another one to have a backup! Ease of Use: A lot of this product's reviews mention it is too difficult to use. I was able to wrap my ankle in about 5-6 minutes out of the box. Read the instructions first even if you're familiar with using ankle braces and stabilizers. ACE deluxe stabilized is good and one I've used before during previous sprains and recoveries but the ASO is way better in terms of support and security. Sizing: I am a 7.5-8 wide, size 14-16 woman. Ordered a medium. It fit fine around my ankle and foot. The tiny issue I had was the heel had a little bit of excess fabric but when wrapping the straps around my foot, it helped keep the excess in place. Able to wear Puma lows comfortably with the ASO brace. Haven't tried it with any of my high top shoes or boots. Will update my review when I test this brace out with those! Overall, very impressed with security, firmness, price and sizing considering I've used a lot of different dr. prescribed and other brand stabilizers in my lifetime. Kudos to Flexbrace for shipping this out in 2 days! Wasn't expecting it until Friday, came in on Thursday. Ordered it Tuesday! Thanks from a person who will definitely try to show her left foot more love from now on!

Good product, does its job. I had ordered all kinds of stuff as a just in case. This product worked the best in aiding my recovery. Two thumbs up 👍👍

I injured my ankle and walking started to feel like a bad life choice. Put this ankle stabilizing brace on, and honestly? Huge difference. The support is solid without feeling like my foot is trapped in a medieval device. It made weight-bearing noticeably easier almost right away. I could walk more normally, with way less pain and wobble. Compression is just right — supportive, not cutting off circulation — and it fits well inside a regular shoe. It’s comfortable enough to wear for hours, easy to put on, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do: keeps your ankle from doing dumb things while it heals. If your ankle is being dramatic and you just want to walk like a normal human again, this brace is worth it. Would absolutely buy again.

I fell and injured my ankle, so I bought this brace. After hobbling around in pain for a couple days, I went to urgent care, where they confirmed I had a Grade 2 ankle sprain. The doctor confirmed this brace was virtually identical to what they’d have given me if I didn’t already have it, so it saved me quite a bit of money. It was perfect to stabilize my ankle as it healed for the next 6 weeks. It still looks like new! It was a big tough to put on those first several days, as it does require you to angle your foot a bit, which isn’t easy with significant swelling and pain, so I had to almost completely undo it each time at first. No big deal. As my swelling went down, I could leave it mostly done up, and just loosen the laces, to slide it on and do up the Velcro straps and go. Be sure to wear it with a normal crew sock, to prevent it from digging in uncomfortably. Oh also, I’m a woman and wear size 6.5 shoes, and I have fairly narrow feet. The XS fit perfectly, even while swelling was present.

This brace it great if you're going to wear it without shoes. It's very supportive. With shoes it's super uncomfortable and hurts since it's so bulky. If you have peroneal tendon subluxation it's probably one of you're only options though.

I have severe pain in my right ankle due to osteoarthritis and loss of the meniscus. The full lace-up feature makes a real difference in setting the level of secure support. The under heel, wrap-around Velcro straps really hold and provide additional support. Finally, the ankle wrap secures everything into a unified whole. I've tried several other ankle supports, and this is the most comfortable and effective.

Tobillera de calidad superior. Ideal después de dos operaciones de tobillos para volver a jugar al pádel y deportes de impacto. Es la mejor. Agarre y estabilidad.

Great product and fast delivery

今までスタンダード（プラスチックが入っていないもの）を使用していましたが、プラスチックの取り外しができるものも、とても良かったです。どちらかといえば、取り外しができるこちらの商品の方が良い！到着までは時間が掛かりましたが、どこを探してもなかなか見つからない状態で、購入できたので良かったです。

Can't use the product. Wanted MEDIUM. Didn't realize you don't have anything bigger than EXTRA SMALL. A waste of time and money.

produto de ótima qualidade!
