AIRCAST A60 Ankle Support

We wear size 6 shoe and bought small. It appears to be ok and maybe a tad tight in the toe area. We are not sure going to the medium would prove too large. Seems to hold the ankle well enough with the metal supports on both sides. The Velcro is quite strong and holds securely. We bought due to 2 severe sprains on the same ankle and now surgery on the same ankle for nerve damage. We feel the metal bracing will help from rolling this weak same ankle.

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.

After dealing with an old ankle injury for years, sprains have unfortunately become a pretty common occurrence for me. I’ve tried a handful of braces over time, but the Aircast A60 has stood out—especially compared to the previous model I used. The brace is surprisingly comfortable, even when worn for long stretches of the day. It offers a secure, stable fit without feeling bulky or restrictive, which is something I really appreciate when I’m trying to stay active without aggravating my ankle. Most importantly, the A60 provides solid protection and support whether I’m dealing with a fresh sprain or just some lingering bruising. It keeps my ankle aligned, reduces the risk of rolling it again, and gives me the confidence to move around without constantly worrying about reinjury. Overall, it’s a reliable, well‑designed brace that does exactly what it promises.

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.

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.

The sizing is a bit off. I wear a size 13 (US) shoe, so I bought the larger brace according to the sizing chart. Well the brace does't get as tight as I'd like it to around the upper part of my ankle. It is great around the lower ankle and heel. Also the plastic support on the outside has worn through the grey mesh after roughly 10-15 uses playing volleyball. I am very disappointed in this. Were it has worn through is higher than my show, so it is the brace that has worn through itself. Overall the brace provides good support and mobility for playing volleyball and everyday use. I think that I will go for a little more support and less mobility for my next brace though.

Arrived in time, fits perfect

This brace is absolutely the most comfortable I’ve ever had. I broke my left ankle twice and purchased 5 different braces, including a lace up one from my orthopedic doctor (which I returned). I have now broken my right ankle and decided I will need to wear a brace for a couple years on each ankle. This is it!!! Look no further. This brace was well thought out, it’s stable, stretching easily to put on, it is molded around ankle bones, and again flares out to not jab into calf muscles. The design is perfect. Believe me, I have found nothing better. It is easy to wear and actually fits in my shoes and even ankle height boots. Unbelievably comfortable. I’d jump for joy, but can’t right now.
