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.

Love this brace. Worked for sports medicine doctor this was the only brand we carried. Very good for stabilization and support after injury during the healing process

Do not wear this on wood floors. Super slippery ! Got mine today. Easy to put on. Directions were spot on I wish it had some type of grip in the bottom since I was trying walk around after I put it on to try it out. Comfortable and does help in stability to the entire foot. I think 🤞mine is just a massive sprain and hoping this helps me at least walk

This is a great ankle brace. I sprained my ankle in late June and the doctor provided a compression brace that was not doing the trick. I spoke with my physical therapist and he recommended this ASO Ankle Stabilizer. What a difference. The ASO Ankle Stabilizer made my ankle rock solid. It comfortable and fit inside all of my shoes. This made it perfect to ware in the yard, hiking, or at work in front of a customer. The ASO Ankle Stabilizer ties like a boot as you slip it on over your foot. Then it comes with two straps that go under your foot and come back up on either side. A large Velcro strap locks it all together across the front of your shin. The fabric is a thin nylon but it is completely non-stretch and locks your ankle in. You can position your foot (bend your foot up or down) to fine tune where you foot is held. My physical therapist had me put on the brace and while I had my foot on the floor lean forward then tighten the straps. This gave my foot a more natural position for walking. A couple things to note: While putting the side straps around the bottom of your foot, make sure they are positioned well back over our heel. When I first used this brace the I put the straps over the arch of my foot. This lead to circulation issues and my foot began to hurt. Place the straps closer to your heel and you will be fine. Secondly, when lacing up the brace I tended to over tighten the laces. This was unnecessary because the support comes from the straps. Don't tighten the laces too much.

I had one of these for each ankle from high school sports, they lasted me at least 10 years. I finally needed a new pair and feel the quality is still there. They are a little bulky and can crease if the heel straps are pulled too tight but if you take the time to get them fitted correctly they are game changers and I find them comfortable. They do take some time to apply but it is worth it, especially if your ankles are as weak and tend to roll (or break) like mine do. They are supportive and will help your stability but not compression. Highly recommend if you have ankle instability and want to keep playing sports.

I like this much better than previous one I was using. Prefer the laces VS straight Velcro my other has for stabilizing ankle.

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.

This was the only brace that I found that help me to work. Without this brace I would have been out longer and when you work flat rate it makes a difference. I helps lock the ankle and gives it really good support. Sometimes when you wear it everyday it does feel tight and there are a few pressure spots but honestly just suck it up because this Is way better than nothing. The material is good quality. The brace and the straps the wrap around feel like a thin version of a seatbelt material. Very sturdy, no stretch. you can crank this thing as tight as you want. It’s will stay that way all day. Highly recommend. I wouldn’t go with any other brand.

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.

produto de ótima qualidade!

Took measurement based on instructions and it fit nicely. Not too loose or tight. Material seems good. Yet to use for exercising but looks promising.

De excelente calidad, material, costuras, agujetas, agarra muy bien el velcro y deja todo en su lugar con una adecuada postura. Lo compré para un paciente de terapia intensiva que no se puede mover, le sostiene perfecto el tobillo y evita que se deforme y/o tenga alguna lesión por el pie caído. Ampliamente recomendable, ayuda a suplir cualquier botita para este tipo de pacientes.
