Ossur FormFit Ankle Brace with Figure 8 Strapping | For Post Injury or Preventive Use in Basketball, Soccer, Football| Lightweight Material | Quick Lace Up & Inversion/Eversion Control | (Small)

Prescribed by my orthopedic dr after a sprain/break/surgery on one ankle and a hairline fracture on the other ankle. I wear them for racket sports and couldn’t play competitively without them. Perfect for support in lateral movement! I couldn’t play otherwise. They’re comfortable and lightweight. Only drawback is they can make me warm while playing and they wear a little on the inside of my shoes—but, they allow me to play and are so worth it!

This provides the support my ankle needs.

If you have ankle problems which I do, this is the answer. I had a very serious injury to my ankle when I was only 15 I'm now 61. My foot was nearly cut off and at the time the doctors didn't think they could save it. I was very lucky. As I got into my 50's and now 60's I began having serious problems with walking for any distance. I have been to two different specialist for this problem with no real help. A friend of mines daughter has a degree in physical therapy and she suggested this brace. I have been wearing it for over a year now and I can't say enough good about it. It has given me my life back.

My podiatrist charged me close to $100 for this item in his office; I needed two, as my posterior tibial tendonitis was affecting both feet simultaneously. Fortunately he had only one in the satellite office where I was seen; I was to go to a different location and buy another, but I came home first - found same brace on Amazon for under $20. These puppies worked! Wore them all waking hours for 2-3 weeks with excellent results. My one complaint (other than the sad state of our health care system) is that they apparently come only in black. Look awfully conspicuous on my pasty white legs in shorts. Wish a light tan or beige tone had been available. Also, the laces seemed to be about 2 feet longer than necessary.

Broke my ankle/bones. After long haul cast/crutches, boot I finally was given this by my medical group/Dr. I am wearing it now. The young guy who fitted it told me he had been hiking very rugged AZ mountain day before. He wears them on both ankles to help prevent injury. I purchased a second as he made perfect sense. I am not yet back to long walks, hiking but will always in future wear both to protect myself. Cheaper on Amazon vs Medicare price, no surprise.

This is the wrong ankle brace!! I’ve never put it on!! I had purchased the right one on April 22. It never fit right because the top lace wouldn’t even reach the velcro it’s supposed to be secured to!!!I won’t make the same mistake again ordering from this company!! Because nothing was refundable so yeah send the ones that a Dr office would return because they were defective!! So, disappointed I tried to save a couple dollars by ordering here clearly a big mistake both items were wrong and or defective. Way to go preying on the poor and needy. This was my experience with this company; next time I’ll stick with my Drs office! This was a total waste of my money and prolonged my pain waiting for my brace…only to have top lace not long enough?? I bought my first brace at my surgeons office it fit right the top lace was clearly longer!! Don’t waste your money… shop local, shop in person then you can make sure it is right!!

Please add a zipper. I want to love this item. I know I need to use this all the time for at least a month, but I barely made it a week. I just could not handle the laces. It was too painful to put on. I had to contort my foot to get it into the brace, which rather defeats the purpose of this item. Then lacing it up was an ordeal. I am still recovering from knee surgery so bending all the way down or brining my leg and foot all the way up were both painful. I was hoping this would be better than the boot, but it was just more inconvenient overall. I was able to drive for short distances which was the only plus. This item needs a zipper in the rear or side.

I have tried many braces including an air walking boot for my Posterior tibial tendonitis and this brace works well and helps me walk much better than many of the other braces I have tried. It does take a few minutes to take on and off which is the only thing I dislike but the lace up allows you to get the pressure that you desire.
