There's so much Velcro on it that it gets tangled up in itself when you are trying to put it on or remove it, and if you don't put it back together when you are done with it, it will catch on (and ruin) everything it comes in contact with.It does give fair to medium ankle support, and I definitely feel more stable (my problem is a weak ankle, not an injury) when I'm wearing it than not, but still. I could wish for a little less side-to-side wobble.These are definitely sized for men. I'm an adultSee full review
