Review on πŸ‹οΈ McDavid Neoprene 431 Medium Sleeve: Ultimate Support for Active Individuals by Joe Fulce

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Less bulky than a Muller brace; there is no such pressure as we would like

In the spring of 2011 I had a second degree sprain. Since the spring I have had regular pain in my feet and ankles. When I put pressure on the affected area, I feel great relief. I usually use the Mueller Adjustable Ankle Stabilizer, black, one size. The pressure that the Mueller ankle brace applies is adjustable with straps, which is a very nice feature. However, Muller's corset is bulky and uncomfortable when worn with dress shoes. I was glad to meet this neoprene support. It appeared smooth and delicate in appearance. I wasn't disappointed when I received it. The black color is relatively invisible and the thickness is minimal compared to Muller brackets. The neoprene bandage is easy to put on. It stretches to fit around your ankle but doesn't move while you wear it. I wear this neoprene bandage with my work shoes and when I get home I switch to MΓΌller support. The only downside I found is that the neoprene support does not withstand the pressure that the Muller support offers. Again, Muller's support can be tailored to individual needs; The neoprene clamp provides good pressure, but I would have liked more. Because there are no straps in the neoprene bandage, the pressure applied to the ankle is relatively consistent and not adjustable. Granted, if a neoprene product had straps, it would probably be too bulky to wear with work shoes. Here is the information on the size selection on the container: Small: men's shoe Gr. 6-9 women's shoe size 7-10 Medium: men's shoe size. 9-11 women's shoe size. 10-12Large: Men's shoe size. 11-13 women's shoe size 12 - 14XL: men's shoe size: 14+ women's shoe size: 15+ Overall a great product. I like to have something I can wear during the day, but at night I have to switch to Muller support.

Pros
  • health and life
Cons
  • I don't remember, but there was something
