Side by Side Comparison of: Mueller vs adidas

I twisted my ankle badly, and once I was out of the airboot, this support came in very handy. I wore it for a few months while my ankle regained it's strength.

Recovering from a torn achilles tendon, this brace I wore after the cast came off. The PT doctor wanted to sell me a brace like this for $25.00 found this on Amazon for $9.00. Mueller is a great brand for athletes and x-athletes (which I am), This gives my tendon support, along with ankle support and gives my arch support....triple win....highly recommended. For me I thought at first it was going to be too small but after I wore it twice it has some give and was able to confirm to my foot. You can wear it with a shoe, my suggestion I found it was a more comfortable of a fit when I put a sock on first then the brace.

This is my second Mueller support just like it. I have an old injury that I can easily hurt if I don't wear proper support and I can't find anything I like better than this brace. It isn't rigid at all, it just provides a snug wrapping somewhat like athletic tape only way better. I rotate mine in and out and I just attach the velcro before I pop it in the washer. I have had my first one for six years, wearing it on and off, and I have a hard time telling which is the new one and which is the old one unless they are side by side. For a constant comfortable moderate support, this is the best I have ever used.

I've had a problem with my ankle for years, ever since I twisted my ankle in high school. This thing here really helps when my ankle starts acting up. It's a bit awkward to put on. Feels like it should be someone putting it on you rather than you putting it on yourself. The instructions are easy but if you're not kinda flexible folloejnv the first instruction is a bit tough. The strap labeled A is a bit difficult but you get used to it. Your foot does sweat while wearing it but it really provides really good support. Overall, I love it.

I bought one of these years ago for a previous ankle injury and I absolutely loved it. I can adjust it according to the pressure I need that day. It is perfect for exercise or daily use with most shoes. I like the crossover straps because I can tighten directly over the affected area where I experience swelling. This helps support my ankle for many activities like walking, standing, exercising, etc and it helps my ankle not to swell.I lost my previous one while moving and could not find another like it at the store I bought from previously, but thankfully Amazon had one at an amazing price.One thing I have to do differently is that where it says "Place heel here," I can't do that comfortably. I have to place that part on the back of my ankle and then adjust the straps to the tightness and support I need.

This is been one of my absolute favorite brace ever. It provided the perfect amount of support.First, I do high intensity interval workouts, which require sudden, explosive movements, including forwards, backwards, and lateral. I twisted my ankle once, which led it to being easier and easier to twist. It got to the point I could hardly use it and had to stop working out. Then weeks later, I would twist it again, only to start the process over. I bought this hoping to help with the healing process so I wouldn't keep injuring myself continuously.It worked like a charm. Not only did it keep me stable enough to walk, I could work out again! I was eventually able to move into only wearing it to work out, and now, it has healed enough to not even really need it.

My son LOVES these! He plays a lot of basketball and he says they are very comfortable. He wears left and right. Happy to say since he has been wearing them, he has not had any ankle injuries! Good purchase!

good brace. i have sprained my ankles many times and need a brace to help support my ankles. this is supportive and comfortable to wear. I play both basketball and soccer and it doesn't impede my play whatsoever. I wear a 9.5 sneaker and needed a large. I ordered the medium and couldn't even get it over my foot.

These are light weight but surprisingly have great support. I am a relatively large individual and I umpire kids little league. So I am always on the move and changing direction suddenly and these support my ankles better then anything else I've tried.

I bought 2 one for my right and left ankle. I used them for a Spartan Super race this past weekend and they were superb!! No issues with them at all. With the terrain I had to run in it was a sure ankle breaker but all went well with the braces on. Only thing is if you are a 9.5 shoe size get the large. I had to return product due to wrong size.

Worked very well for my husband.

Works well, but could be more substantial.

My husband broke his ankle in high school. He's developed some arthritis in it, over the years, and wears this support, swearing by it.

I bought this for my dad who was having issues with his ankle. He tried the wrap and some other things, but had a hard time with those. This one works for him and but his ankle is a bit bigger so the Velcro doesn't exactly match up. It's also a bit difficult on putting together as there are a few flaps that crisscross. He finally figured it out and is using it. He said that at least it fits in his shoes and does support his ankles.

The support felt a bit too bulky and tight the very first time I tried it on. Starting the second time, however, it stretched a bit and became very comfortable. I ordered two and wear them while running and it is helping me to run longer significantly reducing recovery pain. Now I wear them every time I exercise.Only negative experience I had was that one of the straps began to fall off after third time due to bad a sewing. I took it to the shoe repair shop and reinforced all the straps.I would buy it again.

This review is for the Mueller Adjustable Ankle Support, Black, One Size fits mostI have bad ankles; once you sprain an ankle, the ligaments never are the same. I also have flat feet. When I am walking a lot, or doing any type of physical activity, I need some sort of ankle support. If I were recovering from a recent injury, I think I would need more support than is offered by this item. However, this support/brace is stronger than the little slip-on neoprene sleeves, and the ability to cross/wrap it gives a person the ability to determine the exact tightness/support that is needed. I would recommend it for light activity or sports, or if an injury is almost fully recovered and a stronger brace is not needed.It is important to know how much support you require, before buying a brace. Many mediocre reviews are from people who really need a different item. I believe this one is what it is advertised to be, and I would buy again.I am a 5 ft 3 inch woman, with size 7 feet. These wraps were not too large for me, as many are. The velcro allows them to be adjusted to almost any foot size....although I cannot speak for those with very large feet...I'm not sure how far they stretch. But for people who are much taller than average, it probably is best to purchase an item made especially for large feet.I would recommend this as a "go-to" brace for most average needs.

Fits a little tight. Good support. If you plan on buying, get a size bigger.

My son has used these for soccer and it is much easier than the wraps he used in the past. Only issue is they must be worn with socks under them, or they rubbed on his skin. He is able to use them correctly all on his own,

I wear a size 8.5 in women's shoes and the medium was a bit too tight around my foot. I am ordering a large to replace it.I really like the low profile because it fits inside my favorite pair of Mary Jane heels with no problem. Minus one star for the design. I wish it was all black.

This is a solid ankle support. I play competitive basketball and have been fortunate to not have chronic ankle issues but have injured my ankles before, including a broken ankle. So I'm aware of potential ankle issues. Bought this to provide some support for a minor ankle sprain. This feels like it would do the job well. I however returned it since I don't like ankle restrictions and did not feel I'd need it long term. I'm typically not a fan of any braces as I believe it takes away from your muscle memory and develops psychological dependence. For those with ankle issues, this will take maybe a few uses to break in. It should supply light to moderate support. This would be ideal for prevention and minor injuries.

I wanted support in my skate boots. My ankles turn in and make holding edges (without a wobble) very difficult. However, the better support for this brace is on the outside. So I wear the right one on my left foot and the left one on my right foot. Works pretty well but I'm not sure how long they will last the way I'm using them. Well made and easy to put on. My ankles still turn in but not as much as before.

Ankle brace functions appropriately. It has prevented any ankle injury thus far through ten in season basketball games. Team shoes are low top. Only complaint is the tightness of front lower support. It rubs and marks the foot through Good socks. If you are at the top end of the sizing chart i would suggest going up one size. Package arrived on the last day that it said it would. Well made product that looks good.

These were for my daughter, she always complained that they hurt her when she wore them.

I tried using this brace for playing sports (volleyball/basketball) and didn't like how it felt. Maybe it's user error on my part, but one major dislike I had was the fact that it was very bulky and I couldn't fit my foot properly into my shoe. I even wore thinner socks, but the brace just felt awkward, so it was difficult to move quickly. I did request to return this due to my issues, so 5 stars for customer service, but 2 stars for the actual product.

This support seems like a perfect aid for almost healed foot problems or "weak or sore ankles" as in the description. It does not have any solid sewn in braces. For me it is just a comfort wrap for your ankle. Not for serious or major ankle problems.

THEY SELL THESE BY SHOE SIZE. I HATE TO TELL YOU BUT YOU FOOT SIZE AND ANKLE SIZE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER. I PURCHASED THESE ACCORDING TO MY SHOE SIZE AS STATED ON THE INTERNET. BUT THEY WERE SO SMALL I COULD NOT GET THEM ON AT ALL. THEY ALSO CHARGE A 15% RESTOCK FEE.IF YOU ORDER ACCORDING TO THEIR SIZE CHART, THEN IT IS NOT YOUR FAULT THEY DON'T FIT. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD REMOVE THE RESTOCK FEE. BUT I STILL HAVE NOT SEEN MY REFUND.

I was hoping for a little more support post-sprain. I feel like if I came down on the injured ankle again, this brace wouldn't prevent much ankle rolling. I'm going to need something with a little more support. If you're looking for fairly light support, this might be it. But there are others that offer far more injury protection. Though they do come at a mobility cost. Although re-injury is not a good risk, so I'll opt with greater protection with reduced mobility.

I was hoping for a an ankle support light enough for me to run in. Not this one. It is fairly bulky and provides very little ventilation. I wouldn't recommend it to be used during an active activity. It provides adequate support though so is good for someone who might be recovering from an injury.

It's good at protecting the ankle but it started tearing after a couple months. But I do play almost everyday.

The sole portion doesn't line up with my arch very well. It helps, but it's for someone with a small heel

Good fit easy to put on and take off. Not as much support as I was expecting.

Too bulky.. cause discomfort when shoe was on

I'm not sure that I got the right size - the wrap seems to be at the wrong angle to be consistently tight. However, it kept me from rolling my ankle the first (soccer) game I played, so it must not fit too badly!

Light with good support. However, there is a thick stitched seam on the top of the foot area that is uncomfortable when the soccer cleats shoe laces are tightened.

Doesn't provide any support and obstructs the blood flow.ASO ankle support works much better.

I don't know what this is mainly intended for, but I tried wearing these for work and got football, but its too uncomfortable and hurts my feet.

Good if u have small feet. I'm a 11 and it a pain to fit right. Not to mention nere impossible to get on by yourself. Does have a nice design but one size DOES NOT fit all

What support? Unless you have some very minor sprain, this does not support my ankle at all. For what it gives you, might as well not wear anything at all.

Here's the deal: it is OK, maybe 2 1/2 stars. Why? Firstly, many folks like myself have had several ankle issues on different parts of the foot & ankle area over the years; not just the exact same place: like achilles, ankle, side of foot next to ankle, etc. I have found it helps to have support that goes just a bit further up the leg above the ankle to help with the ankle/foot support. This is really short--just clears the ankle by a small amount, and as it is a very soft support, that offers VERY minimal bracing. It was inexpensive, but really just too lightweight and small in area covered to give any real support.

It's ok but not the best for me. I did use for 2 months after bad ankle injury. was always adjusting it to find comfort. edges are thick and left groves in foot. ouch

It didn't specify that it was for basketball because I got this for soccer and it was too bulky for that. Not only that but it fit a little big so it was sliding around. Keep in mind I'm a size 9.5 and I got a large.

Doesnt really have ankle support. This could be why d rose is always getting hurt.

Too small

Good and comfortable fit for tennis but Velcro strap ripped and broke after 30 days. Trying to get a replacement brace now.

not very impressed, the metal shim is too restrictive and digs into the ankle

this is for impact protection only. I still use it for spontaneous kayaking as protection, since its waterproof, small and easily slipped on, but unless the ankle is expertly taped its useless for stability.

I'm very disappointed in this product and with Amazon. Product is sub-par and I am not able to return or get a refund.

the quality of this brace has gone down.... I purchased a few of these! First of all, the material is thinner, second, the velcro won't hold. I am now back to wearing the old one that I purchased years ago.

Too small. Returned.

I bought this ankle support for 2 reasons. #1 it was inexpensive, and #2 it clearly stated that would fit comfortably into most shoes. Well that's WRONG. Unless Most shoes, mean specifically tennis shoes that are a 1/2 size bigger, it won't fit. I am a profession women and cannot wear tennis shoes on the job. This thing is bulky and won't fit into anything. And one size fits all it definetly wrong too. I have a fairly average size foot, a size 8 womens. It's too big for me, and trying to adjust it makes the velcro go under which is uncomfortable. I'd send it back, but it's not worth the hassle.

This thing is useless. The entire brace is made of stretchy material making it impossible to actually provide support. The only thing this brace actually does is make your shoe fit tighter which I guess some people think is actual support, but it's not. It provides no protection or support.

Not happy with these braces. Don't buy. The makers probably didn't actually try their own product. The only way they work to support ankle is to tighten them really tightly. But then you lose circulation and there are very painful pressure points on the bottom of foot arch. I want my money back.

Didn't fit at all

Very rigid on the sides and hard. Way to uncomfortable to wear. You can feel the metal against the bone. Returned

It's hot because it is made of plastic

very oddly shaped item. it wasn't snug and supporting at all!

Bad support. Design and fit not good. My opinion. Son plays BBALL, no Bueno.

If you have ankle issues don't waste your money. This gives no lateral support.
