Review on ProCare Medium Lace Up Ankle ๐Ÿ‘Ÿ Support: Superior Performance for Optimal Ankle Stability by Bryan Hill

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Does the job but is not very comfortable

I have sprained my ankle hundreds of times in my life. So much so that the ligaments in my ankle are quite loose and my ankle is very unstable. My doctor recommended this ankle brace when I sprained it the other day. I doubt he ever put it on and wore it because even wearing a full sock over the corset is quite uncomfortable to walk in for long periods of time. I've tried different lacing methods, different tensions, different socks, etc. Also, they are very bulky to carry in shoes. I played 18 holes of golf with it. After nine holes I feel very uncomfortable. I only recently realized that it was a corset when I took it off completely and only put on an ankle bandage and KT tape. No pain. In addition, the side plastic pads, which provided stability, constantly slipped out of the pockets and had to be constantly pushed back. All in all it did the job and unless you need them for long walks they might be fine for your purposes. . But I will only use them when I have a problem severe enough that a flexible ankle strap won't help.

Pros
  • Designed to meet the needs of demanding athletes worldwide, treats acute ankle sprains and chronic instability
Cons
  • Easily torn
