Review on πŸ‹οΈ Enhance Performance and Stability with Adidas Adizero Speedwrap Ankle Brace by Richard Summerall

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product for basketball.

Overall very satisfied with the product. It's much more convenient and effective than sports tape. The bandage is comfortable to wear. It takes about 30 minutes of regular exercise to get used to when you first put them on. It is also stable and prevents lateral ankle roll-off that makes your foot stiff and uncomfortable for a few days. Like ALL ankle braces, it probably won't prevent serious sprains (like landing improperly and kicking a 250-pound dude), but it will certainly reduce injuries. The brace is also quite flexible, allowing your ankle good range of motion and flexion. I have not noticed any noticeable reduction in athletics (particularly vertical jump) when wearing the corset like I have seen with other corsets. Some braces are so tight that your vertical drops 2 inches because your ankle can't bend properly. This orthosis allows you to flex your ankle while supporting it. I bet my vertical only dropped half an inch, but that's just the price you pay for wearing braces, which is really worth it. Of course, I can also walk and slide very well with an orthosis. To be honest, I might be able to change direction even quicker when wearing an orthotic because my ankles don't rotate too much. All in all a great product and I highly recommend basketball players to get a pair as there are so many uncontrollable variables like feet and slippery spots that can cause you to twist your ankle.

Pros
