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

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.

Compresses my ankle properly, comfortable fit great quality, strong, Velcro, durability, and great support!

First of all I recieved this in record time. 48 hours to Southern California. I have played soccer for over 10+ years, rugby for 4+ years, basketball for 8+ years and ran track and field for 8+ years. For the first time ever, while playing basketball, I sprained my ankle. Grade 2. Partially torn ligaments. Its been two weeks and I still can't walk with a normal stride. I am ordering this so that I have support while I walk around during my daily activities. This is the first brace I have ever tried or ever worn. Size: I wear a size 9 shoe and 13 inch ankle measured around the heel. I fell within the small or medium size according to the sizing chart. I played it safe and and went with a small. The small is a great fit. Its really snug and I'm sure if someone's foot was a little too big for the small, this brace could accommodate. Also, this fits into my shoe no problem. Fit/Support: The first thing I noticed is that the middle of the laces are stitched onto the front part of the brace. This will help keep the laces even and help keep things lined up. I laced up the brace and this first layer of protection is pretty firm and comfortable. This lace up part of the brace prevents over flexing your foot up towards the sky and down to the ground. I wanted to restrict the most movement as possible of my foot and laced them pretty tight. The figure 8 straps are where the real support comes in. The straps reinforce the up/down resistance that is originally provided for by the lace up part of the brace. The velcro on the side for the straps is on the brace in a way that helps you align the straps to the proper position and same way every time (just like what stitching the laces onto the brace will do). Not only do these straps greatly reinforce the up/down resistance, because of the way the straps wrap around your foot and back to the same side, these straps will work to resist the "rolling" or eversion/ inversion action that leads sprains. Then to top it off there is a final strap that wraps around the top of your ankle above the ankle bones... the "high" ankle area. This strap gives good compression as the other two parts of the brace does. It also secures the laces so nothing gets loose. Range of motion: When sitting, with no shoes on, with my foot flat on the ground, with brace as tight as possible, while not cutting off circulation, the brace limits heel from rising to about 1/3 the distance off the ground compared to my other foot. Again, I am still recovering from the sprain so this low range of motion might be due to the sprain. If I loosen everything up the range of motion frees up. The straps still prevent rolling of the ankles however loose the lace up part of the brace is. I can move my foot left and right which is good and the brace does protect from moving the foot left and right too much. All ranges of motion are protected for. Compared to a professional athletic trainer's tape job, this gives less support but more range of motion. Rating: The reason I gave this four stars instead of five is because as a life long athlete I have had to tape my ankles up before and this brace just doesn't give you that total all direction firm security. This brace mimics when athletic trainers tape the ankle in a lot of ways, the lace up part of the brace mimics the base layer of ankle taping and the figure 8 straps mimic the tape layer that goes around the heel from outside of your foot to the inside. In my humble opinion, the part of real athletic trainer style tape job that this brace is missing, is the the layer of tape that goes from the middle of your foot, past the heel, then ends at the achilles/ calf. This layer of tape keeps the foot bent at a desired angle. This layer helps keep the heel off the ground and adds resistance to accidentally flexing your foot too far up and jamming the front part of the ankle. Comments: As an ankle brace It provides great support and keeps everything real tight and compressed. I couldn't say how well it compares to other braces. This brace does not fully mimic a real tape job which I suppose is one of its intended purposes. This brace will help to prevent respraining if you heal up to 100% because it adds resistance to the inversion, eversion motions and adds quick support in all the right ways. This brace is way faster than a tape job and for my purpose, the need for extra support while walking around, its awesome. Because it can't fully mimic a tape job (and I don't suppose any brace could), I wouldn't have 100% confidence in this brace to replace a tape job and confidence is everything in sports. TL;DR: Lots of support in a way that will resist ankle sprains. Way faster than taping your ankles up, but not as good. Really comfortable and shipped super fast.

I injured my ankle and walking started to feel like a bad life choice. Put this ankle stabilizing brace on, and honestly? Huge difference. The support is solid without feeling like my foot is trapped in a medieval device. It made weight-bearing noticeably easier almost right away. I could walk more normally, with way less pain and wobble. Compression is just right — supportive, not cutting off circulation — and it fits well inside a regular shoe. It’s comfortable enough to wear for hours, easy to put on, and does exactly what it’s supposed to do: keeps your ankle from doing dumb things while it heals. If your ankle is being dramatic and you just want to walk like a normal human again, this brace is worth it. Would absolutely buy again.

To anyone who is looking for a reliable and legit ankle support this is the product you want. Just make sure to follow the instructions. I literally was limping before I wore this and was shocked that I could walk normally with minimal pain! This product is A++

I’m recovering from a sprained ankle, and I needed added support to accommodate my semi-active lifestyle. I have severe Plantar Fasciitis, which makes it difficult to wear certain products. I tried multiple ankle support devices (ankle support compression sleeves, ankle support bands, and even changed my shoe insoles to aid in stability). Regardless what product I used, they caused excruciating foot pain, because these products would put direct pressure on the Plantar Fascia. I saw this brace, and it appeared the straps didn’t cause direct pressure the Plantar Fascia. I was correct the straps cross over, and go directly under the heel and come up the sides. The brace does cover a portion of the Plantar Fascia, but doesn’t cause constricting pressure. I would say it provides medium support, and allows adequate movement for some sports. I’m a 8.5 mens shoe size, and the (small) fits excellent. The only issue I’ve found, is a calf-sock is needed under the brace to prevent chafing from the seems, and since the straps run under the heal it can be difficult to put in a tight fitting shoe, which will pull the straps out from under the heel, so I loosen up shoe laces to allow for insertion. I ride a hover board, which puts excessive strain on my ankles, and the occasional spontaneous dismount can be tragic for my ankles, so I ordered a second for the other foot out of precaution.

I have 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. In this video, I compared all 3. The Z athletics, resembles the closest to the popular ASO brand with a significantly smaller price tag. I was so hoping Z would work but sadly, it didn’t. This brace, the ASO brand, had a lot of positive reviews (and was also the most costly). However, it didn’t work for me either. The best part about the ASO brace is that it’s the lightest of all of them. If you are in a tropical warm climate, having a light weight and thin brace may be welcoming. The tongue does have a little padding, and the seams are sewn, unlike the Z athletics. The part that i liked least about this brace is that it cuts into my circulation. Theres a lot of excess material on it, like I said I think if I have sized down and bought the XS, it might have fitted better. There are plenty of videos on YouTube demonstrating how to put the brace on properly. I’ve included mine here as well. You’ll want to remember to strap the side where your bad ankle is to give max support. It does take a few mins to put on, more than putting on a pair of lace shoes so have patience and plan ahead before leaving the house if you are wearing it out. In the end, I decided the Sneino was the best for me out of the 3 but I also elected not to keep it. 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, unused. 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 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 ASO 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. I hope the video review helps those shopping!

Great product and fast delivery

今までスタンダード（プラスチックが入っていないもの）を使用していましたが、プラスチックの取り外しができるものも、とても良かったです。どちらかといえば、取り外しができるこちらの商品の方が良い！到着までは時間が掛かりましたが、どこを探してもなかなか見つからない状態で、購入できたので良かったです。

Can't use the product. Wanted MEDIUM. Didn't realize you don't have anything bigger than EXTRA SMALL. A waste of time and money.

produto de ótima qualidade!
