Slim-Fit Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle, Quick Lace Up Ankle Support for Women Men with 2 Auto-Shaped Pads, Air Fabric Cool Ankle Stabilizer for Injury Recover, Running,Sports, L(13”-14”)

I bought the WHCOOL Slim-Fit Ankle Brace after spraining my ankle right before a big trip and trade show where I knew I’d be on my feet all week. I was honestly worried I’d either have to tough it out in pain or wear something bulky that wouldn’t even fit in my shoes. This brace was the perfect solution. It’s extremely comfortable and truly slim-fit. I had no problem tying my shoes or wearing it inside my normal footwear. The low-profile design doesn’t feel restrictive, but it still provides excellent stability and compression. I felt noticeably more supported throughout long days of walking and standing, and it helped me get through the week without aggravating the injury. What impressed me most was the balance between comfort and support. It doesn’t feel like a heavy-duty medical brace, but it absolutely does the job. If you need something discreet, comfortable, and effective for daily wear, especially during travel or long work events, this is a great option.

This ankle brace is a bit complicated to put on, but it provides good support and is adjustable. Look at the instructions to get a sense of how to put it on. The two sets of laces are attached via a velcro strap, so not as complicated as it looks. The other straps wrap around your foot and ankle and have a stiffer brace that attaches via velcro to each side of your ankle. It was a bit clumsy at first, and the velcro seemed to want to grab my sock, but after a couple of days, I seem to have the hang of it. It is designed to fit over your sock and then you can wear your own shoe over it. It is less support than an orthopedic walking boot, but more than an ace bandage. And it won't stress your other joints as an orthopedic walking boot can.

This is a helpful brace and support for anyone who has suffered an ankle injury. I fell down a couple of stairs and severely twisted my ankle while carrying a vacuum cleaner. This brace helped me keep somewhat mobile while my sprained ankle healed. It is simple to put on and helps support your weight as the slow process of recovery occurs. My package also included a small compression sock that was equally useful when the larger brace was no longer needed. It was difficult to get the brace into a shoe as my ankle was swollen and the brace added some extra width. It did work well in a boot where there was ample space for socks and braces. We live in a place with frequent winter snowstorms, so I had to limp up and down our driveway clearing snow with our two-wheeled tractor. The brace made it tolerable.

This review is based off what I need it for which is to stabilize my ankle for it not to roll so easily. My ankle still has full range of movement but has a little pushback from the brace when it rolls. There is no insert or metal along the sides of the ankle to offer support. It's all soft material other than straps. The straps are sturdy material with thick rubber ends to kinda stabilize your ankle. It doesnt give enough support not to roll your ankle. The straps that wrap around the top of your ankle are sturdy and wrap around tight and comfortably. Those straps are what give the most support. This brace is nice looking and Lightweight. I recieved a similar brace at the Dr's office and it had support bars inside. It looks like this brace but its way more supportive for what I need. So as far as support for your ankle this is the correct style. It just doesnt give the support I need. But its still good if you need some support. I hope this helps.

WHcool slim fit ankle brace perfect exactly what I needed for a sprained ankle which was making it impossible for me to walk. This has a compression sock that I slip on over a small sock that o I already had just for toe and heel and then you need to take your time and put it on so it adjust perfectly be slow and gentle because the means for hooking it up are very very good but not meant to be jerked around there are two lace pulls for the lower foot and the upper foot and I usually do them both at least twice and get the ankle opening centered underneath after I do that I do the other straps around and when I’m finished, it’s a very secure very stable and comfortable brace. I recently also purchased KIZIK high top shoes which the brace easily slips into I bought one brace for each ankle because I was limping so much. I was causing stress on the second ankle that wasn’t sprained. It’s amazing how well I can get around now. I also purchased several other brands which I sent back after trying on because they didn’t provide the secure fit with the comfort. I also have for just short emergencies a little slip on ace bandage, which is helpful if it’s not serious I cannot recommend this brace enough. They really got everything down. Perfect. It has compression. It’s soft. It’s stable and it allowed me to walk when I couldn’t. I wear between an 8 to an 8 1/2 woman’s shoe and the medium was perfect. I also purchased a large, but that was a little too big for me. I sent the large back when I purchased my second medium really a great brace. having had so many different braces in my life I would give it 10 stars if I could.

Multiple fastening points to support the ankle. The laces are attached to a Velcro strap for fast fitment. The Velcro for the rear of the foot is very strong. The strap around the ankle is also secure by very strong Velcro. In total there are 5 strapping connections to fasten in order to fit the ankle brace. But as all are Velcro fastened, it's a quick process. It provides the most secure ankle support of any ankle brace I have used thus far. It also came with a free ankle sleeve in the package.

This WHCOOL Ankle brace is sold as one unit, it arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. Upon taking it out of the box it immediately felt solid with its velcro straps, and the synthetic materials felt of high quality. I was able to undue the straps quite easily and slip it over my ankle for a nice and snug fit. The two inner laceless straps allow of easy adjustment while the two main straps lock into a figure 8 setup and provide a very nice fit to support my ankle on both the lateral and medial side. The lockdown under foot remained comfortable while wearing it for over two hours playing basketball. I'd highly recommend this ankle brace for its easy of use. Minimal break in time is required for it to conform to your foot. Overall it is a great product.

I really like the support provided in the brace, it’s supportive without being rigid. The Velcro strapping provides a good level of adjustment to how tight or loose you want it to fit around your ankle, and once adjusted stays in place. I find it a bit snug when wearing it with my winter boots, but it fits fine in my runners, I loosened the laces slightly on my runners to accommodate - but still kept them tight enough to do my interval training. I find it to be fairly breathable, only getting hot when I have been walking for long periods or wearing for an extended period of time with my winter boots. It came with an open toe compression sock, I put this on under the brace when I need some added support, or wear it on it’s own if I am just needing a mild support around the house. I’m very happy with the level of comfort, flexibility and support this has!

This ankle brace is incredibly sturdy and well constructed. It is easily used and the fabric breathes making it a lot more comfortable to wear. I definitely recommend for anyone who needs extra stability. I really like that it’s pretty lightweight and isn’t bulky so it’s easily worn in a shoe.

This WHCOOL Velcro Lace-Up Ankle Brace for Sprained Ankle, Slim-Fit Ankle Support provides good support for injured or sprained ankles to help with your recovery. When I first saw the brace I thought that it would be extremely complicated to put on your ankle because of all the lacing and straps but once you know how to do it it is very quick and easy. There are laces on this support but they are not laced like in shoes. The laces do not need to be individually pulled to tighten them. The laces are in 2 two groups and are pulled tight and fastened with Velcro. Two more straps are routed under your heel and fastened on each side and finally 2 straps are wrapped around the top of the brace to keep everything secure. It does seem complicated but after a couple of times it becomes second nature to put it on. The brace provides good stability and is not overly bulky so should be able to fit into your shoe without issue. The interior of the brace has a soft lining. The seller has a free gift included which is an ankle brace compression sleeve. This is a much less supportive brace but is perfect for transitioning from the big brace as your ankle gets better and requires less support. This included ankle sleeve is a great idea. Overall, this brace provides good support while your ankle is healing from an injury or sprain. It is well made and should last a long time. If you are in search of a quality ankle support brace then this product should warrant your consideration. Recommended.
