Selected User Reviews For Pro-Tec Athletics Premium Achilles Tendon Support, Small/Large
Currently, I'm dealing with an Achilles tendon that slides over a bone spur. This breaks the tendon, but the tendon wants to move away from the spur sideways as well. My day-to-day duties entail being constantly on my feet and after almost six weeks in a boot and the tendon is about to heal, I would step over something or stretch something and end up in my stupid boot again! My parents have been doing this for 17 months, until they discovered this Three weeks ago I was in a brace, but now I'm out of it. An area in the back of this brace acts as a groove to hold the tendon in place. Additionally, it reminds me to keep my ankle flexible. There are not enough words to express my feelings. As well as heel gel packs, I use heel elastics to help keep the tendon elastic. The news is fantastic, but The foot doctor at my office has also praised these products and has sent six of them to his patients. The knee-highs that have the tendon groove were designed by Kobe Bryant, who also has Achilles tendon problems. In recent years, I have experienced some major changes in my life, which have given me hope that I will eventually fully recover.
Please see the picture and measurements for the sizing, since several people have been having trouble with it. According to the other reviews it seems like an L would be too small for me at 5'8", so I ordered an XL. Those are my feet. They are size 10 women. (White tape measure) - The top part is the part that goes around your ankle. As a result, a smaller version would have been too small as it provides support for the Achilles' tendon. It looks like the strap that goes under your heel to support you (yellow tape measure) is a little long. The strap could be shortened a little if I have time, but the way it is, it is fine. There is a small gap between the Velcro flap and the velcro.
However, I do regret not listening to the previous reviewer. It was a mistake, I'm sorry! There are two sizes to choose from These two sizes are L and XL respectively. As stated in the sentence above, Up to a 6'2" person can reportedly fit in the L size. A person six foot three or taller needs to purchase the XL. The S- is what I ordered As a 6'0 body, I need to buy an L size. I was quite uncomfortable when putting this on since it was extremely tight As soon as I had the garment on, I became aware that one side of the Velcro (the plastic side) was pushing into my skin, making After putting the strap around the bottom of my foot and up to the ankle part, I realized again, how difficult it was and once the strap had been attached to the ankle part, I felt the velcro again. As a result, I had thrown out the packaging, so I will have to put it in Please be careful! Caveat emptyor!.
I have found that the new version digs into my ankles when I walk due to a very thick area above the ankle. The item cannot be returned after I tried to return it. When the Pro-Reps failed to respond to my inquiry, I tried contacting them I approached the Tec company but didn't get a response. I am extremely disappointed with the company for not responding and being stuck with a brace that adds to my pain instead of alleviating it.
As for the product, I am happy with it.
It has relieved me from a pain that I have been experiencing for the past As some of the previous reviews said, yes a shape guide is helpful if it fits you very well, but it will not fit everyone so don't buy it based on the size it says. If it does not fit you, return it and find something else.
My life is better when I have these. As a result of these braces and taping, I am able to walk a few more steps without experiencing any pain. It would be nice to get a pair instead of just one set of braces for this price. elastic and Velcro are worn out after several months of use, and they need.
This Achilles Tendinitis has been so bad that I've been on crutches with a boot on! It's so comfy, I want one for each ankle! I'm buying two! I like to think of it as an "I. " Your Achilles needs a "band"! As soon as I opened the box, I put it on and after only five steps I was amazed at The size I wear is 6 Every year, I buy 8 pairs of sneakers. Considering that I would have to spend $100 on sneakers, it's no wonder the math is difficult. I usually buy the $45-$60 supplies for my classroom (public school teacher) The shoes cost 50 dollars! I am going to save a lot of money and pain with this brace!.
In order to purchase this support, you must be in the Small-sized area I am advising you that the Large variant leans towards the Small end, and not the Large side. There is a tall gap between the heel strap and the upper portion, making the heel strap too short to anchor securely on an upper portion as well as making it extremely uncomfortable. It would be better to look elsewhere for an option, because this is terrible. Please take note of the following Though its return policy is not stated in the description, this product is not returnable.
