Vive Compression Ankle Ice Wrap - Cold Therapy For Foot Pain Relief, Circulation - Cool, Hot Gel Compress Pack - Swelling, Inflammation, Sprained Ankle Support - Reusable Insulation Brace - Women, Men

I have bough this boot for my sprained ankle. It is very good. 20 min x2 a day. Cooling effect +compression. I recommend this product. Very happy.

Arrived quickly. Minimal packaging. Easy to use. Incredibly well designed to allow you to insert your injured foot/ankle/lower leg without an awkwardness or pain. Cools easily. Compression pump is wonderful, as allows maximum coolness and swelling reduction. I had lateral ligament and ankle reconstructive and unfortunately my mum broke both her fibula and tibia at the lower end, we have both used this to aid recovery, and has worked fantastically. Super value for money and would highly recommend!

Easy to use and effective

A good quality product that achieves what it says. My only downside with it, is the size of the sleeve - I'm a UK size 10 and the inner gel pad is a bit neat. Would prefer if they maybe offered a larger size range ie. An 10-14 UK mens for example.

I bought this for my gf, she has issues with her ankle from an old sports injury. She says it really helped for swelling.

I had midfoot Fusion Surgery and Bone Graft from my heel so the there was a lot of uncomfortable swelling. This item has been a lifesaver for me and has really helped my recovery. I put a long sock on for comfort on the effected foot and placed the ice pack over the top. I elevated on a pillow whilst icing and I wake up with virtually no swelling!!!! Would highly recommend this product 👌

I bought this as I’d sprained my ankle and smaller ice pack didn’t seem very effective. The ice pack is huge, I had difficulty finding space for it in my freezer! I also find that it’s far too cold to put this directly on your skin, I used a tea towel in between the ice pack and my foot but I think a thick sock would be ok as well. The surface of the ice pack that comes into contact with your foot should have some sort of fabric cover, I’m very surprised it doesn’t. The whole boot when put together is very heavy and whilst it does provide cover for the entire foot area, I found it uncomfortably cold, so couldn’t wear it for more than 5 minutes at a time. Disappointing purchase, wish I’d just used a pack of peas instead! Hope you found my review helpful

Decent for a few months but then compression stopped working, which deemed this pretty useless.

It is easy to use, serves it's purpose and the quality of this product is better than I expected.

Works great, the compression aspect is even better for recovery!

As someone who recently suffered a significant ankle injury playing basketball (no breaks, but major swelling), I was desperate for anything that could help reduce the swelling. That's why I ordered this foot wrap, hoping for some much-needed relief. When the product arrived, my first impression was concerning. The box was damaged and looked like it had been used, and upon opening it, everything inside was loose – nothing was wrapped in plastic. Even the instructions were bent up, as if someone had gone through them before. The only indication it might be new was that the foot wrap itself still had a tag on it. It seems plausible that this was a used and returned item, and honestly, if I'm paying full price, I expect a brand-new, unopened product. However, given the state of my injury and how long I'd been waiting, I was desperate and decided to keep it. Despite the initial red flags, the product actually worked great for reducing swelling. It provides excellent cooling to my entire ankle, as well as the top and bottom of my foot. The design is smart: there's a gel wrap that you can either heat or freeze (I froze mine for about two hours), and then a secure wrap that goes around the gel pack to hold it in place. What really makes this effective is the pump, which allows you to make the fit snug and apply extra pressure to the gel pack on your foot. This feature was fantastic for the first two days of use. However, on the third day, I started experiencing itching on the inside of my right ankle. It looked like minor skin irritation at first, so I cleaned it, hoping it wasn't an infection. The next morning, I woke up with a blister the size of a fat man's thumb. Now, it's important to mention that when using this wrap, you need to wear socks or some other barrier between your skin and the super-cold gel pack. I was wearing socks, as I always do with cold therapy. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what caused the blister. Could it have been the wrap itself, the possibility that it was a used item, or my socks? I've been wearing socks for over 40 years without a single blister, so the socks seem like the least likely culprit. If you read other reviews and see mentions of blisters or skin issues, be aware that this product may very well be the cause. Final Thoughts Overall, this foot wrap is highly effective for reducing swelling and providing targeted cooling for ankle and foot injuries. The pump feature is a real game-changer for customizable compression. However, the questionable packaging condition upon arrival and the severe blister I developed are significant concerns that prospective buyers should be aware of. While it helped my swelling, the blister was a painful and unexpected side effect.

This is fantastic. Dealing with a badly swollen ankle, I tried many things before ordering this item. The combination of pressure and cold is amazingly effective in reducing pain. Well made, well engineered, whoever designed this! Thank you!

This is just what I was looking for. I have achilles tendonitis and a heel spur, which are very painful. This wrap works great. It is big enough to fit my entire foot, soft enough to not put added pressure on the sensitive spots and the ice packs are soft and cold. They do exactly what I wanted them to do. The packs can also be heated up in the microwave for heat comfort. It is made well and heavy duty and also comes with an air pump. I would recommend.
