Achilles Tendonitis Brace Adjustable Achilles Strap for Men & Women Breathable Ankle Brace for Achilles Pain, Running, Cycling, Hiking, Sports,One Size, Black, 1pcs

Excellent. Comfy and affordable. Not just for pain relief, but amazing for grounding as well.

After purchasing (and returning) several other braces that didn't provide the support I was looking for, the Vigorwise brace worked great. While the jury seems to be out with regards to whether magnets actually help with healing, the brace is easy to put on and works very well. I will be ordering another set as I plan to wear them when I play tennis to provide support to both of my Achilles tendons (which I've injured over the last year or so).

Ok, I bought this not knowing much about it, but thought I would give it a try. I have been having issues with an Achilles being sore. I got these and wear it during my runs. It straps around my leg just fine, it has a slot the velcro goes through so it attaches easily. I'm not sure if its doing anything to help my Achilles or not, but I'll keep using it just in case.

The idea of minimizing stress to the Achilles tendon is good but where this strap can be positioned to make that happen is merely impossible or very slim! This may be okay for gastrocs and soleus injuries but not if you are trying to protect the Achilles that is located distally. Imagine putting this over the Achilles or on myotendon junction then run, with ankle movements and Achilles tendon going concentric and eccentric , it will shorten the tendon translation and possibly cause more strain. Unlike when using a chopat for tennis elbow, it works good because the lateral epicondyle the area you are protecting is located proximally, stress of the wrist extensors are somewhat minimized.

I love this strap and if you use it properly you’ll love it too! If you have had it on for too long and your body is telling you to take a break take it out your legs up and ice or use a tens unit. I believe the bad reviews are from people that might be over using it. Perhaps it is too tight!? Don’t tighten it too much!

LOVE IT! BOUGHT SEVERAL OF THOSE, KEEP LOSING THEM. I DON'T HAVE ACHILLES ISSUES, BUT OVERALL ANKLE PAIN AND WEAKNESS. THIS BRACE HELPS, AND MAGNETS SOMEHOW HELP THE PAIN AND MAKE ANKLES FEEL STRONGER.

These are pointless and will make your situation worse. Get away from this whole mindset of rehabilitation. Or, you can buy it and watch as nothing gets better outside of maybe some placebo effect.

I'm 66 years old and play tennis about three times per week. I've been wearing achilles support devices for about the past five years. If you ever feel any pain in your achilles area, you need support, don't wait! I've found these straps to be easy to use, more durable than other straps, a good value and very comfortable to wear. I have not had achilles issues since wearing these straps.
