Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace, Right Foot, Black, Medium (Shoe Size: Men's 7.5-11.5 / Women's 9-13)

I bought this for a teen basketball player who sprained his ankle during a game. The brace advertisement says it offers light support. It goes on easily over the foot and secures around ankle with a Velcro strap easily. It has semi rigid sides to help support the ankle and keep it from rolling. After a period of rest, treatment, and exercises to strengthen his ankle, the teen was able to comfortably resume playing basketball while wearing this brace. It goes on over a sock and will fit inside a sneaker. It’s also washable. Perfect for an active athlete who doesn’t want to fuss with a lot of tape or bandages but needs the support. Great product.

This is one of those easy purchases that you almost completely forget about, because it's so trouble free. But the real value is in the wearing. I had sprained my ankle pretty badly playing soccer and was almost reluctant to get back out on the pitch. The AirCast A60 was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I ordered it from Amazon just two days prior to game day, and it arrived in time. I took it out of the box on my way to field and put it on just before the match started. It went on easily, but did make my boot feel a bit snug. I instantly felt the extra support that my freshly recovered ankle needed. Just a minute into the match I found myself running full tilt, and realized how well it was doing its job. This brace is so light that I only knew that I had it on because I was conscious that it gave me as much moral support as ankle support. After a couple of weeks back on the team I'm considering not wearing it anymore because my ankle is feeling pretty good. But, this brace is so unobtrusive, I think I'll keep the moral support for another week or two. I certainly recommend the AirCast A60 as a great buy.

I was truly excited to receive this brace, especially after reading the fantastic reviews. I expected it to outperform the lace-up brace prescribed by my doctor. Unfortunately, I ended up purchasing it twice; the first one in my size was too small to fit my foot. The second one was a size up, and while I managed to get my foot in, I experienced significant pain from the side braces when I tried to walk. I attempted to adjust the braces, but that didn’t help. I also tried adding extra padding between my ankle and the brace, but it kept shifting with each step, which was equally painful. I’m sure it will work for some people, but for me it didn’t and now I’m on the hunt for a brace that won’t hurt me when I walk. My wish is that the stiff braces on the sides could be adjusted to my ankle and that it would be easier to get on and off.

I ruptured the anterior tibialis tendon, making cycling, jogging and even walking difficult and extremely painful. The Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace made it possible to at least walk distances, and even medium grade hikes, as well as use my ArcTrainer. The brace provides the necessary support and stability, subtly redirecting the foot forward, making it possible to use/exert pressure on the front of the foot, and not just the heal. In my case these was still discomfort, the struts - providing the stability - also pressed directly on the damaged area. To increase mobility, longevity, and also support, I coupled the brace with high hiking boots... beyond my ArcTrainer and CrossTrainer, using the brace with low cut shoes proved ineffective quite quickly.I've tried several braces, Aircast A60 Ankle Support Brace is - in my opinion - the best for daily usage, ease of fitting, and cost effectiveness.

The media could not be loaded. I broke my left ankle last year and just recently had an additional surgery to remove some uncomfortable hardware. I’m a women’s 8.5 and I was skeptical of the reviews regarding sizing but trusted my gut and got a size small. I will say, even with post surgery swelling I have a narrow foot so if you have a wider foot or ankle you might want to size up. It works great under my converse high tops (although you obviously have to keep the lacing of the shoe looser than normal to fit over the brace). The white is great and looks as subtle as it possibly can with a white sock. It protects without rubbing or becoming uncomfortable, and leaves the majority of your foot and toes open to move around freely. Would definitely recommmend for anyone who’s doctor wants them in an aircast!

I used this for a sprained ankle and was recommended to my by the ER Tech who x-rayed my ankle. On a positive note, it does have good side support as to protect the ankle from rolling again, but on the other hand the side support plastic inside continues under the foot and it really hurt the bottom of my foot whenever I used it. I would not recommend it due to that.

Received correct sized this time and fits great;) Thanks
