Review on Get Superior Ankle Support With McDavid Level 3 Ankle Brace With Straps – 1 Count by Omar Bokil

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good support, but not great

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 adult female with medium bone structure, shoe size 8-1/2M, and I'm in the Small.Update: You can get a little extra support by lacing it up good and tight, but you can't wear it all day that way without it hurting. My solution to this has been to snug it up when I'm going to be especially active, loosen it when I'm done. When you remove it, place the hook-and-loop sections back on top of each other, and it won't catch on the rest of your clothing, carpet, bedding, whatever, and snag it. When you get ready to put it back on, lace it up first, then remove & apply one strap at a time to avoid the tangling problem.You wear it over a sock to pad your foot against it: Two socks would be better, and if I remember correctly that's what's recommended on the packaging, but of course then that's going to affect how your shoe -- even a lace-up athletic shoe -- fits. So that's not practical for most people. So I've been wearing it with one sock, and that works pretty well but the laces do leave marks on the top of my foot if I snug them down too tight.It's machine washable, which is lovely. I put mine in a lingerie bag. Both of mine are black -- works best with dark-colored shoes and sox, jeans, slacks, etc. but I'm thinking when summer comes I might buy a white one to go with the lighter-colored/white sneaks and white socks of the season.Mine's worn out, and I just ordered a new one today. I'm amazed to see that it lasted 2-1/2 years with daily use! I looked at some that seemed to offer more support, and still settled on this one. The old one is raggedy but I'll keep it for a backup when this one is in the laundry. I upgraded my rating from 4 stars to 5 based on 2-1/2 years experience with one. With a prescription orthotic, one could certainly get more support, and my ankle may well be headed that way, but. For the money, and for something thin that slips into your shoe easily (I only wear lace-ups, so the top of the shoe is a non-issue), this is the perfect wrap.
