195 Ankle

I’m genuinely impressed with this McDavid ankle support. I wore it for a full 2 hours of football and played on a hard surface, and for the first time in ages I finished with zero ankle pain and no limp afterward. The support is spot-on — stable without feeling restrictive, and comfortable enough that I barely noticed it once I was playing. It doesn’t dig in, doesn’t rub, and doesn’t feel bulky in boots. I had full confidence in my ankle the entire session. I could honestly wear this all day it’s that comfortable (not that I plan to), which says a lot about the design. Cheaper supports I’ve tried before either did nothing or were uncomfortable — this one actually works. More expensive than some, but 100% worth it. If you play sport and want real ankle support without sacrificing comfort, I’d highly recommend it.

I injured the outside of my ankle just before a golf holiday and honestly thought I’d be cancelling. After trying this ankle brace, it completely changed things. It gave me exactly what I needed: solid support and stability without restricting movement or feeling bulky in my shoe. I was able to walk 18 holes repeatedly over the course of the holiday, including uneven terrain and sidehill lies, with no major flare-ups. I wore it only for golf, iced after rounds, and the combination worked perfectly. Without this brace, there’s no chance I’d have been able to play. Comfortable, well made, and confidence-boosting — I wouldn’t travel or play golf with an ankle issue without it now. Highly recommended for sport-specific use.

Bought it for my son, after ankle break. Provides good support/protection - wore it for 4 hours one day at football tournament. It does the job, but only down side is it is bulky so getting boot / shin pads on are a bit tight

I had tried physiotherapy, rest, two other different braces, medication, supplements ... you name it. After 8 months of all that I was starting to freak out that I might need surgery( which is never optimal) for my ankle tendinitis. This strap has been magic. After a couple of months wearing it daily I am back to cautiosly playing basketball ( but boy it's hard to get back in shape when you are 40 years old:), before trying this brace I couldn't even walk for more than a couple of minutes without sharp pain in my foot. I know it looks bulky, but it is very comfortable. My advice - don't tighten the laces too much. I did that in the beginning out of overabundance of caution - I wanted my ankle to be supported. In fact - try wearing it with the laces tied, but as loose as possible. The two velcro straps on the sides are plenty support. Big thanks to the designers and the producers of this strap. I really can't thank you enough. I am trying not to jinx myself, but this brace has been a lifesaver Edit 3 years on. Don't use long term !!!!! The brace works fine for ankle issues. I did develop patellar tendon issues ( Jumpers knee- very annoying ) Apparently limited flexibility in your ankle ( I think wearing this brace qualifies) increases your chance of getting knee problems 14 times ( or something). I did run with it and I am over 40 so it could be me just getting old.

Super fast delivery: ordered mine on Saturday and got delivered on Monday. As for the brace: I am 9UK and against some of the reviews went with the recommended sizing and it was the right call: 9UK is M. I think that M will be ok up to 9.5UK and 10UK (with narrow foot) anything above would need to go for L The brace itself is well made: it mimics taping the foot so if you ever taped your feet it does exactly that. Even though it doesnt seem to add much bulk to the foot it actually does: when you put it on the sock it does become bulky. I have rolled my ankle less than 10 ago so I dont mind and need this to stabilize it, but something to be aware of. To put it on (or take off for that matter) is bit of a faff: the lacing on the brace prevents it from being easily taken off. Overall happy with the purchase: the ankle definitely feels stable (still painful) but i feel definitely more secure in it. As a basketball player will be interesting to see how restrictive it is (it does feel restrictive as it stands) but with the swelling it may become more flexible (I hope)

Tried various ankle supports over the years and had given up playing 5 a-side because none of them gave me the support I needed. Read about the McDavid and decided to give it one last try. Have been using them for 5 months now and so far so good. Would definitely recommend the support for anyone who has a tendency to roll their ankles.

Arrived on time. Exactly the same as advised.

Really liked this ankle brace. Worn the Aircast A60 previously and prefer this. I had ordered another and the day before it arrived the strap came off. So although comfortable with good support I only got to wear it about 10 times and it’s not cheap!

De lo mejor en el mercado, calidad, durabilidad y funcionamiento.

Da ich mehrfach beim Laufen und Fußball spielen umgeknickt bin habe ich lange überlegt und dann doch spontan dieses Produkt gekauft. Es läuft sich super, stützt komplett den Fuß, gibt unheimliche Sicherheit und ist sehr gut verarbeitet, bestelle sie mir jetzt auch für den zweiten Fuß, fühle mich sehr sicher damit, denn im Gelände laufen und Fußball macht jetzt mehr Mut wieder und tut sehr gut👍

Es la tobillera clásica del deporte. Tiene buena sujeción por los cordones y los agarres de velcro. Puede ser útil tras una lesión para prevenir y darte seguridad de movimiento. La talla se ajusta bien.

Have been using this brace for years so ordered a new one. They must have changed something because this one is not strong at all.

I ordered this brace because I injured my ankle while training and lifted some heavy weight off a squat track wrong which resulted in some prolonged ankle soreness. I've had bad ankles from playing offensive line in high school and having level 1-3 tendon tears in my ankles from those years past, I used to have two of these back then but lost them when I moved out of my parents house way back when. I can say that this is by far a great brace because the fit is snug and during my most recent injury my ankle has pain in the front that gives me pain when I'm on my feet for too long or walking a lot (live in a metropolitan city so I do a lot of walking). Since using this brace it has mitigated that pain because it is snug enough that it isolates where my pain is and allows me to walk normally and without a limp. Comfort wise the brace is snug. I usually run a 9.5-10 shoe and in my walking shoes it fits fairly well an 8/10 fit, in my dress shoes for work it fits very good 10/10 but I do need to use a shoe horn to slip into my shoes. I ordered a medium in this case. Practical usage of the brace when I'm walking home or to work it gives me maximum comfort and helps me forget that my ankle even hurts. When I'm training I don't feel any pain either but I'm not lifting with as heavy weights until I heal up. The support given in my opinion is around the 9-10/10 mark just because of the isolation during walking motions and the stability offered on the sides. When I'm on the bus standing up I can balance myself if there's weird motions as opposed to hopping about looking to grab onto something for support, and I can also jump 2 stairs at a time without worrying about pain from stressing it in different motions. As far as putting the brace on or taking it off it is fairly straight forward. The side bands that form a figure 6 (I think it's mentioned in the description) help to provide that motion stability I mentioned previously, and the top bands that secure around the laces are all straightforward in attaching and removing. The laces and brace itself does run slightly tighter and more snug than any other brace, so you'll need to spend some additional time with that portion of it. If you have swelling then this could be good for mitigating the swelling (not a doctor or health professional) but if you're pain adverse then I'd exercise caution just because of how snug the brace can be. Overall 5 stars because I'm familiar with the product and it does as advertised and it is not a cheaply built neoprene sleeve.
