FREETOO Ankle Brace Maximum Metal Support for Men & Women, Compression Foot Support for Sprained Ankle, Plantar Fasciitis,Injury Recovery, Lace up Ankle Support for Running Volleyball Left/Right

I accidentally sprained my ankle ina tennis competition last month. It felt pain and sore, and I even could not walk for 1 week. The PT suggested me to have a brace to help recovery and prevent to roll my ankle again. After reviewed almost all the brace on Amazon, I ordered this FREETOO brace. I’ve tried their products which worked perfectly. So I think maybe this brace also deserves a try. It turnedout that I’ve made a smart choice! Size/fit: I wore women 6.5 and went for size small. It fits my foot and ankle perfectly. I can adjust the pressure to the most suitable compression with the laces and the straps. It’s so slim to fit into my shoe. No need to size up. Stability: This brace is different with others as it was engineered with metal stabilizer on both sides of the ankle to offer more support.They can not only support my weak ankle, but also keep it in right place which does a great job on reducing pains and accelerating recovery. Once I laced up the brace, I felt that my foot and ankle was fully wrapped in a firm but comfortable way. The metal stabilizer does protect from moving my foot left /right, that’s exactly what I need for sprained ankle. The “8 surrounded straps” prevents over flexing your foot up/down. So the ankle will always be kept in the correct place. Mobility: There will be a certain range of mobility to move my ankle, but not too much. Which makes sure that I can still walk around,or even do some exerciseswithout worrying about hurting myankle again. I am crazy on sports and activities. My PT agreed me toplay tennis with the brace on when my ankle got better. It did give me more confidence to run orjump without any other problem. Quality & comfort: It needs more time to test the durability. While I can tell that this brace have great quality from the stitching and the material. And it’s comfortable on my foot. All in all, I am really satisfied with this brace. It did reduce ankle pains and help recovery. Highly recommend for those who has the same symptoms or similar give this a try.

I got a high ankle sprain stepping in a hole in my town sidewalk and it really has been three months and I’ve used brace over ace bandages, woll socks in my hiking boots & my sneakers. It’s very comfortable, adjustable and feels like it gives me super good support and I RECOMMEND & my physical therapist thinks it’s a good Brace and so did my Orthopedist. I am going to the surgeon because I really hurt myself, but this should keep me more comfortable until i find out what’s next. The lace is good doesn’t hurt to slip on and the cross straps are easy to use and I haven’t had any problems with the Velcro & my lace. Recommend especially for the price and i have small ankles and this has been a huge bonus in my healing from my injury.

I have very weak ankles due to severe ligament injuries from past sports activities. I have a tendency to "twist" or "turn" my ankles often. I bought these thinking they would provide better support than the slip-on ace supports. The 'metal supports' that these have are toward the rear of the foot, so not super helpful for my area of concern. They take a while to properly adjust since you are only using the laces to make the adjustments, but once you get them properly adjusted for the support you need, they do a decent job. I wear a size 9 or 10 womans shoe and I got a medium which fits fine. . I have only worn them with my thick, hiking boots and they don't bother me at all. Overall, decent support without being too bulky. Much better than the slip-on supports, but certainly not as good as the ones with bracing inside.

When I can put this brace on, it is one of the best I've tried (and I've tried a lot). And, I can't believe I'm about to complain about shoelaces .... but here it goes. I have to loosen the laces across all the eyelets to get the brace on - no problem. But then, the laces twist causing painful knots when it's laced up. I did iron the laces, that helped a bit - but should we really need to iron our shoelaces? And the laces aren't long enough. When I loosen them, they fall out of the last hole or two on each side, meaning that I'm trying to lace them back up while I'm putting the brace on. With my painful ankle (and knee) joints, this becomes a very painful effort. Usually, I give up. Sometimes I'll ask someone else to put it on me. That works, but it's inconvenient. I'm going to try buying different shoelaces (longer and, maybe, stretchy) to see if that helps. Seems like a fixable problem that the manufacturer should resolve.

I grabbed this as a backup brace as my original one had been misplaced. I love this one so much better. It isn't as bulky and fits better in my steel toe boots that I use at work. It's not as supportive as the one I received from my Dr. but this is one I can wear over night when my ankle bothers me so I have it if I get out of bed. I also like wearing it for my day long trips where I may not be able to take off a brace if I'm traveling in a car or on my bike all day. I definitely recommend this brace.

I've had several major ankle issues while playing badminton, ALL of them were while I was wearing these braces. One was so severe I was unable to walk for a week. You're better off using no brace than this garbage. The other ankle brace I use actually prevents injuries compared to this. Strap also broke off within a month of use.

I've got ankles that are overly flexible and roll easily. I've had a lace-up ankle brace since my basketball days in high school that has been used off and on when I take the odd mis-step over the years. I recently went down pretty hard and, unfortunately, couldn't find my old trusty brace which left me shopping for a new one. I initially found a brace that appeared to be similar to my old one, but it didn't feel the same, nor did it offer the kind of support I was needing. I bought this one as well and, of the two, this one did a much better job providing support where I needed it. I'm able to wear it over my sock and under my shoe. And I was also able to wear it for two days straight as we walked a number of miles at a large airshow with no problems or discomfort. So, this will be my new ankle brace going forward.

I had surgery on my ankles when I was young. Back then I wore special made inserts to support my arches but they never worked that well. I've tried so many things, and finally found these. I'm on my 2nd pair due to something on one of the stitches coming loose. For me (and I'm rough on my feet), they last about 2-3 years, which is longer than any insert I've ever worn. Truly life changing with their arch support.
