Advantages: Comfortable to wear
Disadvantages: None
I used this ankle support about five months ago when I injured my ankle while dancing and I was unable to work for about 4 weeks and I could not do a lot of physical exercise either. I already owned this support and had paid £12.99 for this support online as the comments seemed pretty positive at the time and ankle injuries can be an occupational habit, but not a nice one. Made from a combination of coolprene which allows the support to breath and coolmax which keeps my skin dry it is a very comfortable support to wear and my foot does not get all sweaty while wearing it.
It stretches comfortably into position and provides the necessary support with a cross over set of straps which are secured using velcro which makes them easy to adjust. Fitting is easy and once secure I felt really comfortable with the level of support that it provided. It has a soft inner which gives extra comfort especially if you are wearing it for a long time.
It is easy to wash in cold water and should be left to dry naturally, I found that there has been no loss of support or tightness after washing this item. It is so easy to keep clean that when I need to I will wear it in bed to provide extra support when I have initially hurt my ankle. There is enough flexibility in the support to allow some movement however it provides a great deal of rigid support as well.
This is a quality product and certainly one that I would have no problem in recommending, it fits my dainty ankle easily with no slippage and because it is adjustable it is supposed to be suitable for all foot sizes.
Summary: Good support
