I have partial posterior tibial tendon collapse (flat foot) on my left side and have a large ankle and calf, and regular braces don't fit properly, and "plus size" braces I found at a medical equipment store were clearly made for bigger people. This strap is the first thing I've found that gives me some support throughout the day and I love it. It's a long strap with velcro on one end, and you can wrap it around your bottom foot, then ankle, then again around the foot or higher on the ankle, your choice. I injured my left foot and ankle about 3 1/2 years ago and that lead to my posterior tibial tendon partially collapsing, plus some arthritis and rheumatoid nodules. Had physical therapy but it was suboptimal, as the only clinic in town focuses on sports medicine and the college athletes rather than everyday people. In the course of my therapy I was told that braces would not help. Earlier this year when I still couldn't walk much despite doing the exercises I was taught, I decided to investigate how to improve my PTTD, and the first thing I saw was that a well-known protocol said the first step was to wear a brace. As mentioned, I couldn't find a decent brace that fit right, but this strap (branded as a brace) was exactly what I needed. I can wrap it twice around the bottom of the foot to give me a little arch support, or twice around the ankle for tendon support. Currently I'm using an arch support pillow attached to my foot, with this strap around it holding it in place. The pain is much better, and with less stress on the tendon during the day, my physical therapy exercises seem to be doing more good than they were before. One thing that is kind of weird about the strap is there is a rubber traction side, but you can't wrap with that side on the outside because the velcro tab at the end doesn't face the right way. You could maybe tuck it underneath a strap to get some hold but I haven't been able to get that to work yet. Not sure why the rubber traction is on the "skin side" but it is. Also, this thing will rip up your socks and shoes eventually, it's pretty tough. I like wearing it on the foot with a sock over it, and that seems to be gentler on the sock than wearing it over a sock. It washes well, I use Woolite for darks in a sink and let it soak, then let it drip over a sink for a while, then hang it up and let it finish drying, which it does overnight. No dryer and I wouldn't put it in a washing machine either, but washing it really quick in the sink is easy enough. Definitely recommend this, especially if you've got large ankles or calves and have been having trouble finding something that will fit.

I have been fighting with tendinitis in my right foot/ankle for a couple weeks and just as I thought I was getting better it got worse and now I’m starting to feel it in both of my feet/ankles. I had a compression sock on but that was way too constricting on my toes and top of foot so I immediately started looking for something geared to my ankles as that is the culprit. I bought two of these, they are easy to put on, seem like good quality, my only issue is it’s a bit tough to wear with shoes but right now I’m just trying to support my ankles better while healing around house. These seem very supportive hopefully they help me heal quicker. Will update if there are any changes.

These wraps are great. Much better than tape or brace.

I ordered both the ComfiLife ankle wrap and the RIKEEP and I tried the ComfiLife wrap for the first day on my twisted ankle, but I didn't like it. At first, when they arrived, I thought I had accidently bought 2 of the same one. They look exactly alike. They work the exact same way. They felt the same. Only the color was different. Given that, I don't know why, but the ComfiLife one did not support my ankle as well. I had to wrap it as tight as I could and it still felt the same. Also, it wasn't comfortable with my tennis shoes on. I tried it a couple of other times too, and I could never get it off. The velcro was stuck like glue! At least you know it's not going to come off. Anyhow, I think maybe the RIKEEP is a tad thicker material? Not sure why, but it was perfect for me. It gave my ankle the support it needed and it was comfortable. Maybe ComfiLife will be better for you, but I preferred the other one. I will keep both to have a spare on hand!

Excellent product. I have been using it for a couple of months now. I purchased it to deal with posterior tibial tendonitis. It provides very good support to the arch of the foot and the ankle. Because of the loop on the front end that goes around the foot, it goes on very easily. The non-slip material on the inside plus the Velcro tab at the end ensure that the brace stays in place all day. I have also not seen any stretching or loss of elasticity in the time I have been using it. The only "negative" with this brace is that the Velcro tab REALLY grips the fabric of the brace. It can be difficult to get it off. A good workaround is instead of grasping the tab from the front end and pulling it off, it is easier to insert your finger in BEHIND the Velcro tab and work it off from the back.

I love this thing! It got me through a long period of stubborn plantar fasciitis. The velco closure is no joke... super strong grip that stays where you put it. The band is a bit thicker than a traditional elasticized wrap but I found that to be reassuring.

I am using this to help reduce swelling in my ankle. It also provides great support. It's quick and easy to apply and gives some adjustment as to where the pressure is placed. Sometimes I wrap my heal and sometimes I wrap it up my leg a little (I had a surgery that left everything from the calf down swelling) It's a pretty stout elastic material so you can crank up the compression if you need. On the inside, there is this rubbery stuff that keeps it right were you put it. It also fits well in a shoe. I've had it for about a month now and used it daily at work and even to a vacation on the beach in sandals. It's holding up very well! The rubbery stuff is a good as when it was new and the velcro holds like new as well. Worth the money although after I purchased it, I saw a 2 pack for just a couple bucks more and I would have love to have two around because I use it so much. If they made this thing in a longer version, I would definitely buy it.

Still use it a year later. Provides stability for sports

Have bought a few things recently to help with plantar fasciitis and this is my overall favourite item. Easy to wear and comfortably supportive. Fast delivery.

Convenient and works well for my ankle sprain, but comes with no instructions. Would be great if it comes with instructions

I love the way it fits, the wrap is good and tight, the finish and locking with velcro is very good. I love the tight grip.

This brace is great, once you figure out how to make it work and stay on your ankle. IT COMES WITH NO INSTRUCTIONS!! Hence, I'm only giving it 4 stars. A simple paper with instructions would make it so much easier. It is comfortable and fits in my shoe. Definitely helped with keeping my ankle aligned and steady. Would recommend. Seller: put some instructions in the package!
