FUTURO Performance Ankle Stabilizer, Left or Right, Adjustable Size

This product was super helpful with rehab after a foot fracture (5th metatarsal, so felt like the ankle). It has a rigid bar on the outside to provide excellent support for walking on uneven surfaces. My ankle took a while to regain strength and this was so helpful. It fit inside my shoe, and was comfortable.

It is very hard to find an ankle brace that works with mid-high hiking boots (Keen Targhee II). I've need to wear an ankle brace off and on for several years, just when I hike. I have used two different lace up braces but the stiff material and/or the straps that cross over and go under the foot eventually cause foot pain. I have tried at least 4 braces, this Futuro brace is #5. I have been using it for almost 2 months and so far so good. The neoprene is less constrictive but you still have decent lateral ankle support. And it is the cheapest one! Go for it.

This item seems well made, is light weight and comfortable to wear and provides light to moderate support. It is also thin enough that it fits in shoes and boots. It is cool enough for me to wear all day... some people who are sensitive to that kind of thing may feel otherwise. Remember, neoprene will not be as cool as fabric, but heat retention can also be therapeutic. The product was NOT designed for maximum stability support, but it does provide about the level of support of ankle taping, but it is more comfortable than taping. In short, this product does what it was designed to do at a good price. I recommend this production.

I was diagnosed with a minor ankle sprain (peroneal tendon) and needed a brace that had stabilizers and was easy to put on. The doc wanted to give me this ridiculous lace up thing that would have taken me 30 minutes to take on and off each time. I remembered that I had one of these Futuro braces from probably like 20 years ago (same model). I started using the old one, and it's great. But, you need to wash them (and they do great in the washer--normal wash, air dry), so I needed a backup. So I ordered this one, which looked like the same one. Although it functions the same way, and I like it. It is not nearly as good as the original. The main difference is that the piece that runs along the bottom of your foot was a single piece (no seam) in the original, but this version has a seem that runs down the middle. I haven't found it to be too uncomfortable, but I do notice the difference. And, I can see where it might unravel at some point. I also think the Velcro is scratchier for whatever reason (could just be because it's new). Otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars. Nonetheless, at an under $20 price point, it's a good deal. I tried a couple other more-expensive ones with various adjustable ties and straps, but none worked as well as this one. It fits well in all my shoes, and I even wear it comfortably with sandals. I honestly forget it's on most of the time. It's even flexible enough to keep on during PT. I have no pain walking in it, and I have no swelling when I take it off. Good buy.

I have an achilles tendonitis and unstable ankle when it acts up...not fun. I have wrapped, compressed, babied and bandaged with some progress but it took the ankle brace to get over my healing plateau. My Physical Therapist recommended an ankle stabilizer and I chose this brand in part for the price. I have little to no swelling most days now and the pain has been drastically reduced. This was noticeable within the first month. I wear it to work (I am a Nurse...) and when I will be active or standing for long periods of time. I can wear this over a medium sock and it fits inside my shoes though probably wouldn't fit in anything terribly stylish ;) I looked at pricier versions but this one has worked just fine and I've had it for over 4 months with at least 4-5 days of use out of each week. My only complaint is that it sometimes needs readjusted to prevent rubbing....but that is doable. I don't know how long it will last before needing replaced it is still in great shape. When the time comes I will replace it with this same model and brand. Heal well!

Fair support

I have loose joints and an extreme over pronation deformity on my left ankle. I have severe pain when I walk or stand for long periods of time. I went to Disney World a couple of weeks ago with very little time to prepare. I was panicked about all of the walking. I have custom shoe orthotics but nothing to support my ankle. Two days before leaving I had a lightbulb moment and popped on Amazon to shop for overnight delivery of ankle support braces. I ordered four. This product is the one I chose to take my chances with and keep. It saved me! I walked 15,000-17,000 steps every day. My ankle was stable and it felt so great to be pain free. Normally, my ankle problem leads to a pain on the outer top of my foot and along the collapsed arch up to my ankle bone. That pain feels like blazing hot knives digging into me. And I have a high threshold for pain! I never felt that pain a single time on this trip because of this brace. Woo hoo! It is fully customizable to provide the amount of support you need l where you need it. It is comfortable to wear, the velcro doesn’t catch on your socks or clothing, and it does not interfere with the width of your shoes. Bottom line: I highly recommend this product.

It doesn’t fit. I honestly can’t believe how short the straps are. I feel like you need to be equivalent to a very thin 12 year old the this to work. Additionally, it will provide a hair more super than an ace bandage, but I thought there would be actual firm supports in this, but there is not.

product description does not describe clear use of item. it is not suitable for ankle problems related to handicapped persons. it is suitable for minor injuries only.

Excellent! After buying a few expensive ones which did nothing to support my ankle this one is the real deal. Support is superb for my ankle. Whilst it's not a rigid brace, the wings support the ankle laterally and can be tensioned for the situation. I can have it loose for when wearing for extended periods or tightened if I'm expecting to load the ankle 5/5 The materials and construction are comfortable. It adds some bulk but I am having no issues wearing a work sock and my work shoes over it. Doesn't get hot or sweaty or itchy. 5/5

ottimo prodotto, che già conoscevo, che Futuro distribuisce in USA da tempo con grande successo; leggero, molto funzionale ed ottimamente personalizzabile, è particolarmente fine ed ergonomico e può essere indossato con qualsiasi calzatura senza alcun problema.

I have plantar fasciitis and also ankle pain since last few months. Tried several bands, each come with their own flaws. I found this one pretty good, on quality and fitting. You can adjust the strength as per your liking and can wear for long durations. I normally put put some moisturizer, wear a sock and then wear this on top it, so that I do not get skill irritation. Overall very good and satisfied with the purchase.

So easy and straight forward straps despite its intimidating looks. Worked very well for me, as a matter of fact, it helped to heal my ankle, package and content with excellent quality. I would highly recommend it
