Excellent and as intended, I little involved to put on but one on EXCELLENT! and Comfortable!! Support! And it fits very well with my motorcycle shoe/boot

First of all, this brace works very well and has secured my ankle while the torn ligaments heal. I have been quite pleased with it. While a medium is the right size for my foot and my ankle, it is hard to get my foot through the front part and it is restrictive during the day as the front opening is a bit too tight on my foot. The lace up portion and the velcro straps all fit and feel very good. I just wish the front opening was a bit more open so I could get my toes through it better when putting it on and taking it off.

The Z ATHLETICS Ankle Brace has been a game-changer for providing support during workouts and everyday activities. The lace-up design allows for a fully adjustable, snug fit, giving me confidence in both stability and comfort. The side stabilizers add extra reinforcement, which is especially helpful for preventing twists or rolling during exercise or sports. The material is breathable and lightweight, so it doesn’t feel bulky under shoes, and I can wear it for extended periods without discomfort. I also appreciate that it works well for both the left and right ankle, making it versatile. Overall, this ankle brace offers strong support, durability, and comfort at a reasonable price — perfect for anyone recovering from a minor injury or looking to prevent ankle strain during active use.

This is on the higher end of ankle braces ive used. It's durable and comfortable. Support is 9/10 but the flexibility where you need it is there. Recommended.

Sizing appears to run small--14.5" (size 12 wide or 13 US) won't fit into "Large" sized brace Former national level competitive athlete i've broken and sprained ankles so many times the x-ray techs always have a look of shock as soon as they see the image show up on their screen (yay for modern computer imaging--its *amazing* compared to the olden days of film (which was amazing in its own right) the x-ray techs are legally and ethically prohibited from giving me any "diagnosis" or "medical advice" or the like--and these days i know better than to try to pry any information about the scan from them--but since the age of modern digital imaging where the tech gets a nice beautiful digital image of my ankle scan appear on their screen almost instantly, about 75% of the time the tech will ask me "how many times have you broken your ankle?" without me asking a single question or saying a word... i always answer the same: "i've never broken a bone in my life" and they promptly burst into laughter... my ankles have been broken and sprained so many times over my lifetime they're unable to count all of the fractures... so i've been wearing ankle braces and/or taping them off and on for well over a decade and am not particularly fussy about what brand or style of brace i use--because i've used a whole bunch of them... to the extent it would be helpful to future potential buyers i measured my ankle per the image below (which on me ≈ 14.5 inches) and when this brace sized "Large" arrived--brand new never even been laced up, it was too small to even fit over my foot. I have wide feet with a high arch and usually wear size 13 shoes or boots--sometimes a wide 12 fits well on me... but just FYI it appears that they don't make one larger than size "Large" and they appear to "run small" good luck folks--stay healthy out there and heal up fast! (IME tendons respond well to on and off ice and heat, anti-inflammatory meds and discipline NOT to re-stretch/tear those ligaments until they're fully healed (generally at *least* 6 weeks--yes longer than it takes for broken bones to heal!) tape works great if you're willing to do the work--for "high ankle sprains" these types of braces work great to protect against that twisty bad that can happen... there are ways to tape it instead but the braces end up being faster and the only issue is whether it fits under your boot...

Great product. Well built. Holds ankle firmly.

I bought this specifically because 1) regardless of whether men/women size came (as Amazon didn’t specify) I would be identical in size (unlike other braces on Amazon which the size would vary based on the item/fit preference to size up or down/dimensions being slightly off as per the reviews I read) which gave me confidence in buying this one due to the certainty of sizing. 2) it had the option to pay more for two day delivery which a lot of other braces did not offer. I am healing from a sprained ankle therefore getting this brace within a day or two was fantastic. A bit uncomfortable at the start but just needs to be broken in within a couple days. Harder to fit in shoe than a tensor however much more supportive so that’s to be expected. Definitely wear a tall sock underneath to protect the skin from rubbing material!

First a little backstory. In 1964 I had a bad motorcycle accident but obviously I survived. With a lot of broken bones. One of the breaks was a compound fracture to the lower Tibia on my left leg. The Orthopedic surgeon who put me back together pulled off a miracle reassembling me. The damages to the left leg included the ankle. I was told since I'm young and strong I won't have any difficulties despite one leg now being longer than the other by 3/8" but look out when I get way older. Well he was right. Now at 77 and wearing orthotics as well for many years the ankle on my left foot has been giving me lots of grief for months now. For no apparent reason while either walking or standing the arch on that foot just collapses and flattens right out putting a lot of strain and pain on the ankle. This ankle brace is a Godsend. It keeps my ankle from rotating and causing the arch to collapse. Although it looks bulky I can still manage to get into my sneaker and winter boots with it on. With the brace on i can walk briskly without fear of the collapsing arch and subsequent ankle pain that was preventing me from doing a lot of activities.

I bought this to replace a 15yr old brace from my sister and the difference between them is so stark!! I’m happy; my ankle feels a lot more stable and sturdy. Still makes my toes lose some circulation and the outside of my foot goes numb but the feelings come back eventually, just need more time to break it in. Overall great quality brace for athletes!!

I ordered a medium... as I didn’t see on the amazon description if this brace was for male or female. When I received it I noticed it was for Ladies... I ended up ordering the wrong size. Seems like a very sturdy brace... but if your foot is already swollen and you need the brace to fit inside a running shoe... may be very tight in the runner or not fit at all. With all the lacing it tends to be a bit bulky. Anyways I returned it... and will look for a brace with less bulk so it will fit better in my shoes.
