Mcdavid Ankle Support/W Stabiliser Straps, Prevent and Recovery from Ankle Sprains, Unisex, Black, Large

Excellent quality and design

💯 ALTAMENTE RECOMENDABLES, EXCELENTES!!!

Recovering from an ankle fracture, I had been wearing an Aircast stirrup brace. It worked fine but was not comfortable enough for ongoing protection. This McDavid brace is perfect. I can wear it around the house and in my hikers when out walking. It definitely gives good support without being too bulky. At first it seemed like a major hassle to put on and remove, but after a few times I figured out to really loosen the laces midway so it slips on and off easily. I wear size 10.5 shoes and thanks to other reviews ordered the large size which is as snug as I would want, so go larger if you are not sure. The super long lace does slide out of center and become a pain to re-lace evenly. This was easily solved with a tip from another reviewer after simply sewing a white thread midway on the lace. Overall I am very happy with this purchase. It is exactly what I wanted and I am planning on buying another so that both of my ankles are better protected when I can get out hiking again.

Manufacturer recommendation is medium for shoe size 9. Initially we bought a medium for shoe size 9 and it was too tight and could not be used. Subsequently we bought a large size which fit well and works well. Maybe if you have narrow feet, the manufacturer recommendation may be right. However if you have broad feet, then you may need to buy the next size. The product is non returnable.

After removing the cast, it helped supporting the ankle till the complete healing of the ligament.
