Medibot Air Gel Ankle Stirrup Brace Support Provide Stability and Cold Compress(Gel & Air)

I sprained my ankle ten days ago. It may have been when I got on a "Down" escalator, which for this older guy who uses a cane is never a comfortable thing to do. I bought an all-elastic ankle compression from my local CVS, but it provided little support. A daughter who has had more than a few sprained ankles said "Dad, I'm sending you a link. Get this." I did. Had it sent overnight. It has really helped. Each day is better than the day before. In a few days I'll be able to drive again. Simple and well made. As for comfort, yes, but for me healing has meant walking as little as possible, using my cane to reduce he weight on my right foot, keeping my leg elevated as much as possible, plus cold comreesses Good value..

Does a good job of keeping ankle from turning but the gel packs are a little thick, making it difficult to squeeze this into lace up shoe. Almost impossible to use with slip on shoe

Do not waste your time on wrapped support. This brace immobilizes your ankle for any but minimal front/back movement. It is impossible to torque it sideways, which is what keeps it sprained. The sprain heals on its own, and the gel interior cushions your leg from the necessary tight fit. I've had one for years, and am grateful for the black one!

Ok product. One size doesn’t fit well. Uncomfortable.

I tried to use this for a torn tendon in my ankle, but there just wasn't enough support. PLUS I had it so tight (for more support) that it left makes on my ankle & leg. Money wasted for me.

Broke my ankle. I was told all I needed was an air cast. I ordered this to replace the one from the hospital. So glad I did because it really helped with swelling. The gel area is comfortable even when cold.

Fantastic product for me. I jacked up my ankle really bad (should've gone to hospital but I don't do hospitals so... ) and this gave me the support I needed to hobble around and complete my chores without doing further damage. Even wore it while I slept so that I could sleep. It worked well for me maybe it'll do the same for you?

This brake is comfortable. I was told to wear this type of brace when I broke my ankle and had to wear a steel toed boot, to return to work. It's a bit bulky but, gives me the intended protection I need.The BIG downfall is the velcro on the side of the brace (not the straps). The small velcro pieces migrate out of place when warm so, the brace doesnt stay in place as well. I have another three weeks needed with this brace and will need to buy velcro and, clean the melted adhesive to have it not slide out of place while working.
