ASO Ankle Stabiliser with Plastic Stays, Black, Large

Wow. I have been an Amazon Prime member for 3+ years and I have never written a review for any product. This ankle brace was so amazing that I felt compelled to do so. I am 33 years old and work out 6 days/week. I have been a sprinter and basketball player my entire life and have never had an ankle injury of any kind. A month ago, when coming down from a rebound, I landed on an opposing player's foot, and got a high ankle sprain. It swelled and felt terrible. Two weeks later, I'm feeling better and ready to give it a go. The same exact thing happens...down from a rebound, land right on someone's foot...BOOM, it swells up again. I rested another two weeks, but this time, I purchased this ASO brace (from Amazon) to try out when I played. I have over 7 hours of basketball time in (since then) and this brace has worked wonders. No pain, no restricted movement, and because it's not cumbersome, I can still wear my low top Kobe's while playing. I love this brace and will continue to wear it for the rest of my playing days. *Side Note* - The brace comes with two plastic stabilizer inserts. I did not use them with the product.

Falsely advertised as being the model with the extra support of side-stabilising strips. It is not this model, and is the less supportive/cheaper version.

I have had bad ankles for years and have tried many different braces. These work quite well and give good support while fitting into most shoes. They are a bit of a pain to lace up and then wrap the straps in a figure 8 wrap, but this also allows one to adjust them easily. Once you learn how tight or loose you need them it is not hard at all. But it will take a few minutes to get them on. If you have limited use of your hands or can't bend over easily you will need help putting them on. I don't use them for athletic purposes but can see how they would be very good for that too.

This ankle brace does not come with ankle inserts as advertised and there is no opening to put inserts in.

This is a brace our orthopedic doctor recommended the fit is perfect and its pretty comfortable, its programmed for you not to bend your foot or roll your ankle again.
