Lace up Ankle Brace for Women & Men - Ankle Support Brace for Sprained Ankle, Ankle Stabilizer for Achilles,Tendon,Sprain,Injury Recovery, Sports, Running, Basketball, (X-Large)

Tried several braces and this one was the best for me. It's more stable than an ace bandage and velcro-only braces but not as firm as a boot. I was able to wear a sock over it and it fit inside my sneakers, loosening the shoe slightly. I've hand washed it several times and it was easy and dried without altering the brace fit. The only downside is that it does take time to put on and remove because of the laces. It's like ice skates or chuck taylor high tops. Tips: Measure your ankle girth for the best fit per the photo rec. My shoe size indicated a medium but my ankle girth indicated a small. The small definitely fit more secure & comfortable for me but you could possibly have to size up or down depending on how thick your ankle is. I followed Lulabelle's advice and wore over a thin sock. It definitely made it more comfortable and I cut off the sock toes for more circulation. I also took her tip of threading the laces higher up on the tongue holder. That absolutely kept it from bunching up.

Yes it takes a while to put it on, but as you get used to it it takes less than a minute to get it on. It gives very great support for my ankle. I tore my ligament and cannot wear a boot due to work. This lets me put my foot into my shoes. With socks it is difficult to fit into a shoe, but it covers most of your foot except your toes, so it's pretty much like a sock so I don't wear a sock on the injured foot. Does not smell bad like other products that off gas. The only thing I can think of that is negative is if your ankle is severely injured, it may take a while to take off gently to not aggravate your ankle.

The instructions are in the Amazon description (right below the photos of injured athletes). I included the photo instructions in my review for those who missed it. I bought this particular brace because it has lace, side support, a low price, and the smallest percentage of negative reviews compared to other similar braces in that price range with many reviews. I read the negative reviews before buying it (I always do before a purchase), and tried to think up of solutions if I encountered the same problems. After receiving the brace, I realized it was too tight, just like other reviewers said. For my foot size 8 1/2 - 9 Wide, the Medium size is the right length but way too tight, even when it’s unlaced. So I cut the left side of the fabric “tongue” that goes under the lace. So now it’s adjusted to the width of my foot.1st problem is solved. The lace is too short so I bought a packet of lace at the Dollar Tree for $1. I use one lace for the foot part, and another lace for the ankle part and above. 2nd problem is solved. I figured if I received a brace with a messed up, bunched up bottom seam that hurt like some reviewers mentioned, I would try to wear it with a Dr. Scholl's cushioning gel insole (I always have a couple on hand at home) to not feel the seam. As it is I was lucky to have received a brace with a good bottom seam that I don’t feel, so that wasn’t a problem for me. Some mentioned that the velcro separated from the straps over time due to poor stitching. I haven’t had my brace for long so that hasn’t happened to mine so far. But if it does after longer use, I’ll re-stitch the velcro with my sewing machine. If the heel opening is too tight, just make a small cut to the top of it to make it wider. If it’s still too tight, make another small cut to the right or left side of the opening etc. (I’m giving solutions for those who already have the brace and are stuck with it) I can wear the brace with running shoes and crocs. I’m giving it a four stars rating because the brace feels GREAT on my sprained ankle and swollen foot (but I might lower my rating after a few weeks of wearing the brace if anything change). The support feels strong. My ankle is firmly secured. I’m using it only for walking on my severely sprained ankle as it heals (not to play sports like basketball, tennis, or go jogging). For someone like me on a tight budget this brace does the job and didn’t cost much.

I had a broken talus bone and my orthopedic had suggested I get an ankle brace a few weeks after I was in a boot. I bought 3 ankle braces from Amazon to try to find the best fit. Like shoes, they may fit some feet better than others. So please use the reviews as reference only. I tried the Z athletics, which resembles the closest to the popular ASO brand but with a significantly smaller price tag. I was so hoping Z will work but sadly, it didn’t. The ASO brand, which had a lot of positive reviews (and was also the most costly) didn’t work for me either. In the end, the Sneino fitted the best. The soft neoprene was cushiony. The sizing fits very nicely. It took me a few different tries over several days to figure the best tightness - how much to tighten the laces - in order not to cut into circulation while still offering support. For those reviews that complained it’s too complicated to put on, it’s NOT if you follow the steps. Get on YouTube, there are plenty of videos demonstrating how to put on. My orthopedic doctor showed me how to properly put on one (I didn’t buy it from the doc figuring the clinic probably would charge me more than amazon!) which I’m sharing here in my video. You are supposed to flex your toe and at the same time push down your heel into the hole to get the best fit before working the laces. Skip lacing the last two eyelets when you first put it on or you’ll have difficulty putting your hurt foot through the brace. You also want to remember to first strap the side where your bad ankle is to give max support. I also learnt the 1 finger test from my PT. Watch my video for clearer explanation. It does take a few mins to put on, more than putting on a regular pair of lace shoes, so have patience and plan ahead before leaving the house if you are wearing it out. There is another brand that offers pre-laced brace with a Velcro which saves you time from tightening every lace eyelet but that costs a lot more money so I didn’t consider. In the end, I still elected not to keep the brace because it’s not very useful wearing outside since I couldn’t wear the brace inside my shoes. I had to wear my son’s shoe that were two sizes bigger in order to fit the brace. That didn’t work out very well because the bigger shoe didn’t give me the stability that I needed. At home, I didn’t wear it as my PT was encouraging me to exercise maximum mobility to improve strengthening and recovery. So, after a while, the brace was just sitting there. I think if I had hindsight of my whole recovery process, I would have started to wean out of my tall medical boot earlier into this ankle brace. I started trying this brace at week 5 from date of my accident, a little late. To be honest, I wore the boot a little too long because I was reluctant to get out of it since it gave me a lot of security as my ankle was still swollen and fragile and wanted the protection from the knocks and bangs you could easily get from just moving around. The boot (and crutches) also gave me a lot of respect when I was out and about! People could visibly see you are hurt and give way to you, hold the door, be more patient etc For reference, I got a size S for the Sneino brace. My shoe size is between 6.5-7.5W, larger end for boots. The front of my foot is wide but rest of my foot is narrow/ slim. I’m about 5’1, 100lbs. See my comparison review against the other two brands to get a better feel. I hope the video review helps those shopping!

The first night I wore it, I felt no pain in my sprained ankle. It was day 10 after I sprained my ankle, I had been wearing a boot. I was hoping for something with enough support but not as bulky as the boot and something I could drive with. This largely fit the bill. I find this incredibly challenging to put on and take off. The first time I had to completely remove the laces because it was way to tight to get my foot through. I figured that was a one time thing, I was almost wrong. I struggled to get it on the first time, about 20 minutes of being hunched over, hurting my back which has a long history of of pain. But I figured I was just learning and it'll get better, it didn't get much better. I wore it that night and loved the ease of movement and felt no pain. I wore it overnight, kept the foot secure, felt great the next morning. Then it was a struggle getting it off for a shower, I had to practically remove all the laces, then another struggle to put it back on. About 15 minutes each time. I wore it to work, loved the freedom of movement for the first few hours. But by noon, my ankle was hurting, so I put the boot back on. I mistakenly took it off for bed, kicking my myself for not remembering until the end of the 15 minutes taking it off that I intended to wear it overnight. I realized while taking it off, I seemed to have twisted it a bit when I put it on. That may have contributed to the pain. In the end, I don't want to trade ankle pain for back pain. I'm not putting it back on, I will try something else that looks easier. Your mileage may vary. It does seem to be effective. I just don't have the patience for it

I have a grade II ankle sprain and was wearing a boot the first week and thought I didn't need to wear anything but a compression sock in week 2. Greatly mistaken, swelling and pain came back so I'm using this brace as an interim, not the easiest to do by yourself but def supportive and in less than 2 days of wearing the swelling has subsided and the pain at night. Highly recommend and much better than any otc neoprene sleeve thing at drugstores

product well made. My son stated that the ankle brace provides great support.

My medical professional recommended I order this ankle brace for a sprained ankle. I wear a woman's size 8.5 US shoe and ordered the medium, fits me well. Once I figured out some of the quirks of how to put it on that don't show in the video I found it to be comfortable and supportive. Application tips they don't show you in the video: 1. You really want to wear this with a mid-calf or full calf sock as shown. I intially wore with ankle socks and no-show socks (it's hot weather) and it was very uncomfortable. Switched to a mid-calf sock slightly taller than the boot, much better! 2. I had to unlace it nearly to the ankle in order to get my foot in it without putting pressure on or torqueing my injured ankle. 3. Boot arrives with the laces going through the tongue lace holder after lacing at the ankle point, which pulls the tongue down, bunching the tongue at the ankle point and also then the tongue doesn't protect your shin from the grommets higher up. Once I noticed the tongue lace holder, and that the laces were going through it a the wrong lace point, the tongue stayed in place and also stayed in position to protect me from the grommets. 4. The leathery-looking side of the ankle straps is the side that sticks to the boot. You'd think it would be the velcro-looking side but it is not. After getting the quirks out of the application process, I discovered this boot is supportive and super comfortable to wear all day. I work in a very large office building and usually walk 4-5 miles in a typical work day; this brace let me do that comfortably.

لبسها صعب ويحتاج وقت غير عمليه

I’m confused by this product as it has no laces. I reread all of the description and looked at the pictures and they are supposed to have laces. The one I received has just Velcro straps. We will try this one on and see the support it gives.

Wasn't comfortable for me to wear. Returned

It's not like the picture, I didn't even receive the size I ordered

It's too soft not a good idea if you need it to help or els it will be a fashion on your feet
