Excellent support
Great for soccer!
July 21, 2017
My daughter uses this for soccer and it really helps! Her only complaint is that the gromets for lacing are not reinforced with metal eyelets and she is worried about pulling them off when she tightens it. None have pulled off yet, though, and it has been used for four months now.
These things are saviors

Im fat. Im trying to get back in shape. Running leaves my ankles wrecked for 3 days. Wearing this brace really took the pain away. Able to jog again the next morning. It's a pain getting them on and off. Beats the heck out of walking like a 90 year old man for 2 days.

Works as advertised. Improved ankle stability a lot and protected it from repeat injury. Still a bit stiff to play wearing this
Well made and great support from this brace
May 1, 2013
My daughter has a weak ankle and has used a few other brands of braces over the years but has got the most support from this brace. She is a cheerleader and all the tumbling and jumping puts a great deal of stress on her ankle and feet. She has extremely flat feet and this brace gives her the support she needs for her foot & ankle while cheering. It is well made and has comfort features that her other braces dont that helps make it easy to wear. She likes the no slip grips on the bottom and the gel pockets on the sides. Ankle braces can get very expensive so I was very pleased to find this one at such a great price and the vendor shipped very quickly. Overall great experience!
Comfortable and Supportive
April 20, 2013
I have struggled with an ankle injury for the past 3 months that has kept me from swimming, running, and dancing. I was about to go to a specialist when I decided to try a higher quality brace for a few weeks. I have had this for three days and I am already seeing improvements. It is very comfortable to wear and holds your ankle and a mostly 90 degree angle while still allowing full walking movement. I have even been able to do some basic line dancing without the previous pain.It is a little difficult to put on and off, but if you take a few extra minutes to undo the laces to the middle point and then relace it, it goes on/off easily. For me, it's completely worth the few extra minutes to avoid having to go to a specialist.

Great brace for post-surgery support
July 19, 2017
I bought this brace to use as support following ankle surgery. Four weeks post-surgery, I was moved to a boot but I wanted work on my strength and range of movement when at home and the boot was too restrictive. Although able to hobble around without the boot, I found that having a supportive wrap was much more helpful. I decided to order a brace because it seemed easier than continually wrapping and unwrapping my ankle. Based on the description and reviews, this on seemed to be a good fit for what I needed.The brace is sturdy and seems well-made. The brace fits well and the laces allow you to adjust how tight or loose the fit is. It provides me with the support I was looking for but still allows some flexibility in my ankle. Although almost as flexible, I found that I had less of a limp in my gait when wearing the brace compared to the wrap. The only con is that the material is very rough and uncomfortable against my skin and the eyelet seams run right along my surgery scars; however, adding a thin sock under the brace completely solved that problem. The photo on the box it comes in show it being worn with a sock so maybe that is the how it is designed to be worn. Plus the sock will help keep the brace cleaner, so I would probably wear one anyway.
Works great
April 19, 2017
Got this for my son after he messed up his ankle. Got an expensive one that his doctor recommended him to use playing ball but it didn't last long at all. This is the same style brace I used when I played ball and they lasted me 4 years so hoping to get a few years out of this one. Appears to be well made and my son said it works very well and gives him a lot of support while playing.
Best Ankle support around...
October 1, 2015
I have used McDavid Ankle Braces playing hoops 3x a week for over 15 years. These are the best I have found.If you have weak ankles or ever have turned your ankle landing on another players foot when getting a rebound these are for you. These are much stronger than the foam or Velcro type wraps, and I find them close to the support I used to get when my ankles were taped in high school. I have turned my ankles wearing these quite severely and without them it would have been two weeks before I could play. With these on I am ready in a day or two.I prefer the black color over the white as they look better longer. Usually last about 10-12 months being washed 3 times a week. I would not recommend a hot dryer as they have a vinyl component to them and the dryer temperatures will break the material down quicker, as well as melt the plastic ends on the laces. When you do put them in the washer or dryer be sure to tie and double knot the laces, otherwise the laces will get tangled in everything. No need to ask me how I know this! If you need them right after the wash be sure to put the dryer on a delicate cycle.I usually lay them out overnight and they are dry by the next day.Be sure to using the McDavid Sizing chart for proper fit. Yes the first few times you wear them the vinyl will be quite stiff, but you will not even know you are wearing them after 2 or 3 workouts.Amazon pricing is excellent and includes N/C shipping! One thing, I usually increase my sneaker size by a half size to allow for the room of the brace. Some guys I play with do, others use their regular sneaker size. If your sneakers are on the snug side now you may need to increase the size. I wear thicker cushion type socks when I wear these.Bottom line, if you need ankle support these work very well.
Yay!
May 29, 2015
I used this brace when I did Tough Mudder this year (10.5 mi course with 25 obstacles). My ankle is weak from previous injuries, and I was concerned about rolling it this time, especially since we're running in mud - literally. It worked out perfectly! It fit under my trail running shoes, and I was able to do the running/obstacles with no problem from the brace. And I don't think I could have rolled my ankle if I tried. After washing it was good as new.Definitely will be using this in the future for other athletic endeavors.
Quality Ankle Brace - McDavid Delivers Again!
April 2, 2014
For starters, we purchased the medium ankle brace first, and then the large ankle brace. The reason we purchased both was because we wanted one for each my wife and myself, but thought that the medium would fit me.My foot falls right between medium and large, so the medium was a little on the tight side. Especially with a swollen ankle/foot! The large size fit a LOT more comfortably.One big suggestion due to the above would be to anyone that falls right between medium/large to end up getting the larger size as it should suit your needs better. Its just a suggestion though! Don't kill the messenger (:Okay, onwards and forwards - to the meat and potatoes of the review.I've worn this thing literally dozens of times over the last 9 months or so, and its performed flawlessly. Its very comfortable, and I can fit it just fine in my shoes [K-Swiss, Etnies, DCs] and it fits a little tight in some Danner boots, but it is what it is.The shoe lace is plenty long, and what I do is after getting everything nice and tight before finally tying the laces, I wrap them once around on the top, and then tie 'em and voila, done. Its better than having loose lases roaming around your shoe and whatnot.For the price, its hard to beat it. Its a quality product as most [if not all] of McDavid's products are. Have only used a few [including knee braces] and they have all worked wonderfully. They do what they say they do, at a reasonable price. What's more to ask for?This ankle brace also helps prevent my foot from swelling [before taking it off and raising my ankle] when I am having certain issues, so there is a preventative aspect of it as well.We definitely recommend this for anyone needing an ankle brace. You will not be disappointed.

December 12, 2016
This ankle brace does the job. It has loops for the laces instead of metal eyelets, which means it takes a bit more work to get on and off, but other than that it works well.
Solid
October 11, 2016
First, a caveat. With these support items, everyone's situation is different (condition, shape of your limbs, etc). So you really have to try it out. Overall, quality was good, and it helped with my achilles pain (from frequent exercising). I used it while exercising. Note, it has to be used with rigid shoes (athletic shoes, not sandals) which anchors the Shock Doctor Brace. One complaint is that it takes time to put it on and off because of lacing. But the lacing ensures there is no slippage over time (as is case with velcro straps, which are very convenient to put on).
Order multiples together
February 22, 2016
We ordered 1 to test for my daughter and it worked great. She used it for basketball and volleyball. She then started having trouble with her other ankle so we ordered a 2nd one. We ordered the same size but the second one was way bigger even though the tags said XS and the items numbers matched. My only suggestion is order at the same time if you might order multiples. Other than that, they worked great and gave great support.

Good product for daily use
August 31, 2017
Very good ankle support, I am using it every day. Well made. My only complaint is that the toe end is a little narrow for my wide feet and the end tends to pinch the sides of my foot by my toes. I am experimenting with using two or more shoe laces to be able to adjust different sections of the brace to better fit my foot and ankle.
Not bad but not easy to ambulate in
December 19, 2016
I ordered this and another brace for comparison.This product seemed well constructed with a decent fit (I'm a size 6.5-7 and ordered small, I believe). Too stiff, though, to actually start ambulating heel to toe once I was ready to get off crutches.The lacing is secure, but it would not allow me to lace tighter around my foot/ankle, and looser near the top of the brace (like I could with another brace I was using), so it was either too snug and pinching, or too loose. I opted to return the product and to use another ankle brace instead (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00RKG0TSU/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_7?th=1)
Stable but too big for a women's 10.5 narrow foot.
June 29, 2016
I got the medium since I wear a 10.5 in women's but I have a narrow foot. It seems slightly big for me around the heel but I am able to tighten it down well. I feel confident on the court with it after recovering from a broken foot and sprained ankle. I would recommend it but I wonder if the small would have worked better for me.
Great stabilizer without adding bulk.
February 12, 2016
I sprained my ankle and my doctor recommended a brace that tied. I tried to get one locally, but a tie brace is hard to find in most brick and mortars. A tie brace that comes in small sizes is impossible.I've been relegated to a brace for 8 weeks and have been wearing this specific one for 6. Because of the lace up nature, it's a little hard to get one and off, so you don't have to re-lace the hole thing. That said it doesn't add a lot of bulk while still stabilizing the ankle.If you're torn between sizes, I recommend erring smaller. I have skinny ankles and wear a 7 1/2 womens; I went with a small, but wish I'd bought an x-small.
Great support for playing squash
October 6, 2015
Why I love them:I have had a few niggles with my ankle, all thanks to my love for playing squash. Movement is one of my strong suits, and if you've played squash then you know it takes its toll over time. You are never playing at 100% fitness, and have to manage small niggles every time you get on court.This brace allows me to do just that, and do quick lunges in the front corners without worrying about twisting or jarring my ankles.Some things to know:A fast-paced game like squash wears these things out pretty quick (read 6-8 months). It also wore out the insides of my shoe.I would advice that you wear a sock (at least an ankle length one) over the brace to minimize this wear -- cheaper to replace the socks than the shoes or the brace.These things are highly uncomfortable initially during the break-in period. They might even feel heavy initially. But bear with it the first few weeks and then you'll hardly notice them on your feet.I bought two of these and to ensure consistent support I have L and R written on the inside of this brace with a sharpie. I make sure that I do not mix up the one I wear on left foot with the one for right foot.Pros: Great support, the lacing system works better than any other brace type I've triedCons: Don't last very long with fast-paced sport. They even wore out the insides of my shoe (so wear a sock over them to minimize this).Verdict: I bought two of these last time (about 8 months back) and will be placing an order for another two very soon. They're great. :)
Best brace I could find
September 2, 2010
I have been playing basketball all my life and have chronically bad ankles from various injuries I have suffered over the years. I have been through many kinds of ankle braces in an effort to ward off new injuries, but these ones seem to give the best support for me. I've bought at least half a dozen pairs of these over the last 2-3 years.With ankles as damaged as mine, I'm bound to injure them even with braces on once in a while, and it has happened even while wearing these. However, I am sure they saved me from even worse injury. The price is much lower than some of the other brands like Aircast, etc. They do take some time to put on, but you get good at this quick.After playing in them 2-3 times a week for about 6 months, they get stretch and get 'soft' and are not as good a support as when they were new, so I buy several pairs a year. After a while the laces wear out from friction on the eyelets and may snap, but you can replace these fairly easily.All in all, a very good brace for the price, and I would recommend them.

Really a pain to put on
Happy until the seams give out.
July 26, 2017
I'm a competitive weightlifter and I have very flat feet. I've been wearing this brand for about 4 years now and each pair only lasts about 5-6 months before the seams on the side start to give out. It's quite annoying having to buy two pairs per year but I do like how well they work at stabilizing my ankles (when they aren't ripped). Great concept but definitely not for longevity.

Uncomfortable After a While
September 22, 2016
I thought I would try this ankle support for my healing broken ankle since it had the gel inserts thinking that wold provide some padding effect. But the edges of the support cut in the skin making the fit quite uncomfortable after wearing for a while. Tried wearing a little looser but still cut in. The sizing is not the cause. Needs better padding where the ankle goes through (the holes). It does seem to give very good support though.
Was hoping it'd be better.
February 21, 2013
Wear this with a sock - there is an annoying tag that hurts a bit when you put this on.That being said - this wasn't as good as I was hoping. I had a bad sprain and this made it hurt worse one day when I wore it. I don't know if it was how I was resting my foot/ankle... or if the laces were too tight... but it hurt a lot when I took it off. (sadly, I ignore pain unless it is severe, so I didn't realize it was hurting more and more until it was hurting a lot)When I'm standing, (using crutches) This does help to keep the ankle supported and prevent it from over working.I don't care for the laces at all - I'd prefer it if it were wraps/velcro, (like a velcro sneaker)The problem with the laces is it's hard for me to get the right tension in all the areas unless someone else is tying the laces - and even then, it's not always optimal.It's just ok.

It worked well but was painful after a while.
Didn't work for me, but seems well made
August 2, 2015
This didn't work for me, but I don't think it is a necessarily bad product. I broke my ankle and was transitioning out of the boot. I wanted some extra support for my ankle, but this did not provide support, just pressure. It might work better for someone with soft tissue damage or someone who has ankle instability.
Order a size larger if you have wide feet.
July 8, 2015
Materials and construction seemed good, but I couldn't tell how well it would work as it was too small. Ordered based on the sizing guidelines but should have ordered one size larger.
Good Brace just a bit bulky
April 27, 2015
Adds a bit more bulk than she expected but she's getting used to it. Her shoes of course needed to be adjusted to even get them on, but as you can see there is a lot to this brace. It's for sure sturdy and well made. She would have liked it a bit thinner but not sure you'd get the support you need doing that.
Great for already injured ankle., not so much to prevent injuries
January 12, 2015
This is a great product if all you wear is low tennis shoes that are able to have this bulky brace in them and if you don't have to do a whole lot of movement. It provides really good support and minimizes twisting for an already injured ankle. If you are looking something just for support to prevent an injury this is too much. I mainly got it to wear in some steel toe boots for work with an already injured ankle so I wanted some good support, but there is no chance of my foot getting into the boot with it on. It probably also won't fit well in most of my other shoes either. I was able to get it in comfortable with some low quarter nike free tennis shoes even though it made the shoe look really wide. I am only taking one star for that.The other star is because one of the eyelets for the shoelace has a piece that is bent perfectly so that i can't bend it back and is shredding the shoelace so I don't know how long it will last now. I am sure this isn't a typical problem though as the many other eyelets are fine.
I needed more support.
July 2, 2013
If you are looking for alittle support then this is the brace for you. It is lightweight. But you also might need help lacing it tight enough to provide the needed control. The another brand with speed lacers works better for me. It provides more support and is easly adjusted without taking your shoe off.

A glorified support sock that won't fit in your shoe
September 30, 2012
I have a bad ankle and I've tried several of these products. This is one of the less effective ones, especially considering the price range and the specified use which is medium/high intensity. First off, this is wildly ineffective, and potentially problematic, for lifting. Second, for low intensity athletics or walking, it's still a poor choice, because it may not fit in your sneakers.The item has an ineffective support, similar to a support sock - it's a piece of stretchy fabric at the bottom. The sides are filled with a gel of some kind (though it feels more like sand to be honest) This "gel" allows too much give in the support and makes it difficult to lace up sufficiently tightly. If this was labelled as a "leisure walking" support, that wouldn't be that big of a deal. It's not, this is alleged to be an athletic ankle supporter. As such, it fails. The level of support this provides is probably around the same to maybe slightly better than an athletic support sock. Despite being laced in, it still allows far too much shifting of the ankle and while fine for casual use, would probably lead to the ankle getting rolled again if you lifted with it. I have no desire to test that hypothesis though.The other problem is that it also won't fit in several of my sneakers. The device is fairly large and cumbersome. Considering there are better devices that will fit in your sneakers such as support socks and better braces, this is a minus.Not recommended.If you're just walking around and need a little support, get a support sock like ACE Knitted Ankle Support, Medium (Pack of 2). It'll actually fit in your sneakers. If you need athletic ankle support (like what I eventually used for lifting) get Ankle Brace Mcdavid #195 Lacing Ankle W/strap Large. Or tape the ankle.

September 21, 2017
I bought this as a sturdier brace for my weak ankle. I am a size 9 women's and bought a M size brace. The brace is very uncomfortable on the underneath and side of the foot at both openings. I started to develop a blister on the L side of my foot due to how it was rubbing on my foot. I wore this brace for four 10 hour days and I have had enough. It's not worth being that uncomfortable to have a stiff brace. If you have an active job and need to wear this brace for an extended amount of hours, I would avoid it.
Item not returnable
July 27, 2017
After I received this item, I found that it did not extend far enough down my foot. I tried to return, but Amazon website said that this item is not returnable. I would not have bought this if I had known that I couldn't return if it didn't fit.It seems to be well made.
Seemed like they would be good for the one who needed them
July 14, 2017
Seemed like nice product overall. My Dr. recommended them for me. I just have too small of a foot. Adult 5-6 and these gave me sores, with socks of course. Right at the ankle bone they creased. Just not for me.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000UW1JMG/ref=cm_cr_ryp_prd_ttl_sol_0
Way Too Rigid for Exercise
August 26, 2016
Well, it is some solid ankle brace. It does deliver nice support and protection. But in my opinion, the material is way too rigid and firm.I suffered ankle injury before so I wear ankle brace during basketball games just to avoid new injuries. An ideal ankle brace for injury-prevention during exercise should have solid and firm support around the ankle while remains as flexible as possible. But this ankle brace is so rigid and firm that I can't even bend my foot in it. In some of the previous reviews people claims they play basketball or soccer, or work out in it; I totally don't understand how they managed to do it. I wonder if it requires breaking time like a new pair of shoes.I suppose it's good for those who are recovering from recent injury, and would like their ankle to remain stable at all time; however, if you are looking for something to prevent new injury during exercise, I do not recommend this.
Disappointed
March 31, 2016
I was so hopeful about this one, as it was recommended by my PT. The heel cutout was extremely uncomfortable, the compression happens on the foot but not at all at/above the ankle, and it digs into the top of my foot. All around uncomfortable. I'm recovering from a sprain from roller derby, and I'll say that the one plus is that it fits in my skate.
There must be better ankle braces out there!
October 6, 2015
First ankle brace I've purchased, so not an expert, but I do know this brace is extremely uncomfortable. It's not padded on the inside, so must be worn over a sock, but even a sock isn't enough to ensure a comfortable fit. I've had to wrap Ace bandages on top of my sock prior to wearing this brace. Also, this brace will not fit into a dress shoe or boots. Must wear a loose fitting sandal or canvas shoe. Finally, this brace is very hard to remove! I've needed my wife or sometimes a colleague to help remove it. There must be a better ankle brace out there!

Shocked at how badly they fit and stabilized.
September 18, 2017
I am usually a big fan of this brand, as they carry products in my Base Exchange for the military, but they only tend to have items in the large male sizes. I was soo happy when I found this product and that it came in a small! I just received them today and I have to tell you, sadly they were terrible.Even wearing padding tape and socks, I could feel the seam stitching digging into my feet, and the sole footpad itself was skidding all over the place and I had the laces ratcheted to 11! The Achilles tendon cutout had sharp edges and the interior strap that goes over the top of the foot would slide and constantly readjusted.I am in the process of getting diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and sometimes my braces (I have to wear dual ankle, knee, wrists, and a lumbar support!) are the only things that keep me on my feet, but these were so uncomfortable that I raced home as fast as I could to get them off.

Hurt my heel, had a blister after first use!
Poor design protects your ankles but rips away layers of skin (and destroys socks)
September 15, 2014
I have had these for a year now and am finally giving up and throwing them away. From the beginning they have ripped through the skin on my heal and top of my foot every time I have worn them. I started out wearing them over a pair of socks but after only 60 minutes of use (playing soccer) they had torn through a brand new pair of socks and then my feet. Then I tried wearing them over athletic tape with the same result. I finally thought duct tape would be strong enough to protect my feet but they still managed to rip through the tape and then several layers of skin on both feet during a soccer game. The design just seems to be poorly thought out with significant seems and stitching on the inside.
Very poorly made. Broke down and fell apart
May 7, 2014
I bought the exact same ankle braces as these in 1997 and used them regularly for 10+ years. Finally they broke down and I had to get some replacements. I bought them and within 1 year the bottom tore at the seam on one of the braces and the edging tore away from the heel section on the other one. The design is the same but I think McDavid has changed they material they are using to cheaper product or are making them differently. I abused the first set I had playing every week. The new set performed for a year and then broke down. I am in my late 30s now so I don't play nearly as fast or as hard as I did 15 years ago yet they couldn't handle it. I wouldn't recommend them anymore.
