Ultra High-5 Rigid Ankle Brace – Chronic Ankle Instability, Boot Ready

I do daily higher-impact activities such as kickboxing and dance. My left ankle has been feeling stiff, and I have some issues with the toes on that same foot. I started using this brace during my workouts to add support and prevent injury. It's easy to use, does not negatively impact my exercise, and provides the support I am looking for. I'm happy with the purchase. I experimented using other lightweight ankle braces, but this one is my favorite and the only one I am currently using.

The Dr wanted to put me in a walking boot cast. But I have to work and I would not be allowed to do so at my work with that. They would put me off on medical. I got this instead and wore it with a tennis shoe. It let my ankle heal and now many weeks later my ankle no longer hurts. Great item. Recommend it has fantastic support and keeps you from twisting or hyperextending your ankle.

It does help bear some weight

Unfortunately this brace is very uncomfortable, doesn't provide stable support, and doesn't fit in a shoe well. I broke my ankle and had a cast for 5 weeks. Afterwards, the Dr said to keep wearing a brace for stability. I ordered 6 different braces, all different kinds (lace up, velcro, hinged, unhinged, sock, ect...) in a variety of price ranges. This one fell short. First, there isn't enough padding around the ankle l. Even with my ankle still a little puffy, the minimal padding pressed painfully against my bone. I had to wrap extra cloth around the bone to make it comfortable. The brace only has one strap, so its hard to keep the brace secure without cutting off circulation. It still twists around on my ankle. It also doesn't fit well even in low cut sneakers. The top of my shoe kept shifting the brace around, and the hinge bulged the shoe out, so my shoe didn't fit securely on my foot. All of this makes it more dangerous to attempt walking. For the price point, I didn't think this brace was worth it. Not secure or stabilizing enough, not enough padding, didn't fit well in shoes, very uncomfortable.

I received this item quickly. I bought these due to laxity and history of sprains in both of my ankles. My left ankle, especially, is very unstable and painful to be on my feet for any length of time. I recently had surgery, requiring crutches and relying on my left leg to get around. I wanted a brace to provide support to my overused and now angry ankle. Disclaimer, I have a difficult time finding ankle braces that properly fit my puny ankles. Unfortunately, this brace did not work for me either. Given my ankle measurement of 11”, I bought a size small. Like many ankle braces, I couldn’t get the brace tight enough around my lower ankle, where I needed the support the most. I tried different socks and support sleeves under the brace to fill the gap. While those likely would have helped, it made it difficult to get my foot in my sneakers due to the bulk. Having tried many other ankle braces and supports, I also feel these braces are pricey when compared to other similar braces. If you have small ankles, I probably wouldn’t recommend these braces, as I think there are more effective, less expensive, options.

I spiral fractured my ankle and then rolled it a few times since then. This brace is just what I needed. It takes a little to break it in, so make sure you don't wear it all day long on day 1. I wear this brace to cross-fit and I don't even notice it's on once I start the work out. I also wear it on day hikes with a low ankle hiking shoe. It fits under the insole of the shoe. It is a little odd at first and may not feel great in the beginning. I leave the brace in my running shoe permanently and it stays just fine under the insole. It is easy to take your shoe on and off with the brace (after the first couple of times). I would buy this again!

I got this because I play a contact sport and have a history of ankle sprains. Works like a charm, allows up and down movement but not side to side. Very happy with the fit.

The small was not small enough for my ankle. My ankle still rolled. It fit well above my ankle but there was a 2 inch gap on both sides of my ankle and foot. This product is NOT for narrow feet and ankles and I am a 49 year old woman. If you have thicker ankles this might work for you. My orthopedic gave me something more sturdy and it fits better in my shoes and insurance covered most of the cost.

Good

It's going back, I opened my package and it came in an old plastic bag. You can see right away that they send me an used product..Anyway I tried it just to see and can't even get my foot on my skate with this brace.

It just doesn’t help at all. Especially not for high ankle injury. Sent mine back because this is way too much money to spend on something so ineffective.
