Review on πŸ” Black Lightweight Ankle Brace by McDavid by David Silva

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Excellent post-op support brace

I bought this brace to use as a brace after my ankle surgery. I was switched to boots four weeks after my surgery but I wanted to work on my strength and range of motion at home and the boots were too restrictive. Although I could hobble around without boots, I found a supportive wrap to be much more helpful. I decided to order a bandage because it seemed easier than constantly bandaging and uncoiling my ankle. Judging by the description and reviews, this bracelet is good for what I needed. The mount is sturdy and looks well made. The braces fit well and the laces allow you to adjust the fit for a tight or loose fit. It gives me the support I've been looking for but still gives my ankle some flexibility. Although I had almost the same flexibility, I found that my gait was less lame when wearing a corset than when wearing a brace. The only downside is that the material is very rough and uncomfortable for my skin and the eyelet stitching runs right along my surgical scars; However, adding a thin sock under the bandage completely solved this problem. The photo on the box shows it being worn with a sock so maybe it should be worn that way. Also, the sock helps keep the braces clean, so I'll probably wear them anyway.

Pros
  • BREATHABLE 2-layer polyester/vinyl mesh and lining
Cons
  • Long delivery time
