Having fractured my fibula just above the ankle, I was relegated to a walking cast type boot while the fracture healed. As my job requires standing on my feet for hours at a time - that was not the most comfortable alternative - and the difference in height related to my other leg with a standard shoe caused back problems. The Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Brace allowed me to wear a standard shoe while providing the support I needed for the fracture to heal. It also eliminated my back problems. I…

I almost didn't buy this product due to the mixed reviews. I'm glad I did. My ankles are worn out from 40 years on steel deck's and leave me in such pain that I can barely walk much over 100 yards without considerable pain. I've tied all kinds of expensive lifts and braces with little relief. Using a pair of these braces I can now walking up to a couple of miles a day with only modest pain. This is the good. On the negative side I don't know how long they will last and they do require a fair…

I sprained my ankle badly and ordered this brace to hopefully help it heal. Turned out I had some fractures as well and ended up having to get a full ankle boot. After I got out of the boot I wore this one again for a week or so while my ankle finished healing.This brace is very comfortable and keeps the ankle from bending side to side. It allows for up and down movement of the foot, so was great for exercising my ankle after I got out of the boot.Good product!

This splint has a strap that goes around the ankle area and another that goes around the calf. Both are the same length. The ankle strap fit fine and was easy to use. Since I am not built like Olive Oyl the strap going around the calf was too short and I had a heck of a time figuring out where I could attach it’s Velcro to hold the splint in place. I’m not impressed. Come on guys. No one has a calf the same diameter as their ankle. How much more could a couple of extra inches of strap have cost

Only 3 stars because plastic air cell/foam is very weakly attached with inferior glue to the rigid support and you're going to have to epoxy them in place after a couple weeks use. Also will need to replace mid strap with foot diagram on it with your own 1" wide velcro strap soon. That said, you need a stirrup design like this for anything above grade 1 sprain, mainly because the support goes a lot higher up leg and that helps a lot, even if you think the problem is just around the ankle knobs.

Not meant for me! I received a black ankle brace from my orthopedic doctor. I wasn’t having any luck using it. Went into see tech. Ordered this which was $50 less than my ankle brace. I have size 6 1/2 shoe size. This was a large. It hurt to wear it . Took old ankle brace and shortened strap by 1 1/2 " on both sides. Stitched by hand, works great now. It has a figure 8 strap on it. Something not on this. So the ankle support was less effective. It may work for someone who needs just ankle…

I love the design, the padding, and the quality. great protection but sadly I cannot wear it because it slides forward and the edges aggravate my recently broken ankle where the plate is.

Definitely oversized - my king sized comforter is about 8" narrower than the duvet cover (maybe it's a Cal King versus regular King issue, I don't know). However, the length is good, and I just have the extra fabric on the side away from the doorway, so you can't see it. Love the fabric, washes well. And the color is great - goes well with a print coverlet set I also bought, so I can mix and match the shams and decorative pillows that came with the other set.

I can wear this in my boots and football cleats just fine. It doesn't feel too bulky, and you can adjust it to allow no flex or some flex which is nice. Now that my ankle is mostly healed up, I can fit it a bit looser to allow more natural movement, but yet still have support if my ankle wants to roll over again.

I have had this brace for more than 20 years (although I have not used it this long). In all of my basketball games not once have I twisted my ankle. After buying the exact same product I discovered That my old braces are not fit to use anymore and even though I have used them for many years I did not come near to a splint.If you play basketball and not worry about your ankles, do yourself a favor and buy these braces.

This was a great price for the air-stirrup. Understand that you will probably want to remove a lot of the air out of the two bladders. They supply a little clear flexible tube to insert into the air bladders to remove excess air. You will see this little end on the air bladder that is tucked toward the hard plastic. That is where you insert the tube. When you have adjusted the amount of air that you want in the bladders, you just fold the little end back over and it rests against the white…
