this brace is the easiest to use! about 5 months ago I broke my leg, broke the fibula bone right near my knee. when I fell, my ankle bent the wrong way, tearing ligaments and tendons. had to have surgery to put in plates and screws to hold the fibula and tibia bones together near the ankle. for several months, I was not able to walk on it, couldn’t put any weight on it. when I got the cast off, I was afraid to put weight on it. it didn’t feel stable. but this brace has made me feel so much more confident in walking without the crutches! I’ve been wearing it now for about a week, every single day from the time I get up till I go to bed. it is so comfortable. on both sides, it has metal inserts, that make me feel more confident that my ankle will not bend again the wrong way. you can’t feel the metal it’s covered, but gives enough support. easy to put on and take off. best 17 I’ve ever spent!! I put pictures below if you’re able to see them, you can see the screws and plates in my ankle.

This is a well designed ankle splint with stiff side supports and three Velcro closures. There is a strap around the calf at the top of the splint and two straps around the ankle that cross cross in front. This allows for infinite adjustment and excellent fit. I did find that I initially needed an ace wrap from the foot up to the calf to decrease swelling, but the splint fit right over the ace wrap. Now I am just wearing an athletic sock under the splint. This splint is comfortable for walking and low profile so that it fits into the same size sneaker that I normally wear.

This is my second time buying one of these. My last one lasted 10 years! I turn my ankle over often. So I have to put this on to strengthen it. I know I should wear it more, but I’m thankful for the support it gives!!
