Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Support - Breathable Compression - Figure 8 Taping Strap - Air Knit Fabric for Breathability - Designed for Secure Fit and Maximum Freedom of Movement

I rolled my ankle onto thebone at my barn after a gopher tunnel near the surface tore out my surgeon's previous work on the Longus and snapped my Brevis tendons As we approach the end of the year Due to a fatal DVT and Pulmonary Embolism I suffered two weeks after the first surgery, and from the devastating accident that required 5 hours of surgery to stitch and patch and graft me back together, I spent two months bedridden with non-life threatening complications. For almost three years, I have been in and out of weight bearing status. A mother of four who loved to ride and hike, I was active and a passionate participant in sports. It looks like spaghetti squash inside my ankle now after the second accident!, and I have tried dozens of braces. I would have recovered if I had only had the first repair, but my surgeon told me when he opened the ankle up after the second accident it looked like spaghetti squash inside! We have a variety of store brands and some that are available online. I found them to be a waste of money, and they would not fit under shoes or wear expensive Ariat paddock and endurance boots to support my ankles when riding and eventually gave up using my saddle because it would not work in the stirrups. Eventually, the left ankle developed a hole and the right ankle became thick and damaged from compensating for the left. Yes, yes, yes! The disaster is terrible. I was intrigued by these wraps when I viewed them online. In addition to the higher price, there were several other factors that did not matter to me They looked cool, which was a major plus for me as a 56 year old woman who loves clothes, shoes, and My drawer was full of braces and wraps that had already cost me hundreds of dollars, and were ugly in addition to not working. They are made in Germany by Bauerfeind. Growing up in Germany and knowing the quality of German products is something I'm familiar with. I ordered a brace for both legs and compression sleeves to match, so I ordered both braces. My leg after surgery had a blood clot that damaged my muscles, and both my legs are prone to terribly painful and long-lasting cramps. The sleeves come in a set of two for less than the braces. A shin splint and muscle cramps last for days or weeks. As a result, compression stockings are worn while I sleep, as well as when I am doing housework, traveling, and putting on When I'm out on my jet ski for long hours, the Bauerfeind compression sleeves are perfect for keeping my circulation going. My mother had passed away and I inherited her house about 5 years ago when my husband retired and we moved to GA. Due to the fact that I had to give away my horses, we decided to buy jetskis since we live about a mile away from a huge lake. This summer, we will be skiing all summer, then staying home for the winter The whole winter is spent on the road. With the ankle sleeves, you can easily slip your foot into them and the wrap seems simple to operate. Velcro allows them to be fastened. My compression sleeves are pulled over my legs once I have put them on. While I stand during skating, I always feel like my ankles want to roll, and the wraps prevent my ankles from fully supinating, but nothing short of an iron boot can prevent me from rolling. Stand on wakes and waves while hit by waves at speed, and you will add a great deal of energy to your feet, legs, and back. It was my Bauer ankle braces that saved me from suffering a third surgery and being permanently disabled by now if it wasn't for my muscles acting as shock absorbers. If you have tried less expensive ones without seeing results, I would strongly recommend these braces even though they are more expensive. Combining them with their matching sports leg support sleeves makes them an outstanding tool for improving your performance or improving your safety as you play your favorite sport. In addition, I will inquire about wrist supports if they have any. A horse rider ran me over last year while I was operating a jet ski. I had fractured both wrists then because of the blow to them. It wasn't only my lungs that collapsed, but also my wrist, which was broken and my back muscles, which were shredded like To get to the local trauma center, I was taken by coding ambulance. My bank card arrived two days later, with a nice $57K bill. I love it. It was a fast recovery in light of the fact that I suffer from asthma, diabetes, and fibromyalgia. I was injured 15 months ago on March 22, 2005, and I have been in good health this year, but I have not fully recovered from my injuries. While I'm still having wrist problems, jet skiers also put a tremendous amount of strain on their elbows and wrists when they crash down into waves and rough waters. That is why I am looking for wrist wraps that match. It is important to remember that It is also nice to know that these braces are not made of neoprene, which will no longer stretch, rot, or tear. These are woven fabrics that go over your shoulders like a half-skirt The wrapping strap looks almost like plastic, and the socks are made out of a fabric The fabric feels comfortable and does not fray. It's not clear what it is, but it is easy to wrap. My Velcro has remained sticky since I bought it several years ago and doesn't seem to accumulate lint as much as most Velcro does. I wish you a happy New Year, AM.

There was a Grade 3 tear in my ankle ligaments and I had to undergo surgery It was basically prescribed that I wear a boot for the next six months. In terms of clothing, I need something that provides great support on the lateral side of my ankle, but which also allows me to wear anything I want (pants, shoes, socks) I wear shoes. The wise one). I have loved being able to use this brace! Now that I have it for about 3 months, would you mind if I told you what it is? It can be worn every day. The fact that it's quite thin means I can wear 95% of my shoes with it. I really like the compression. My only criticism of the strap is that the Velcro is starting to loosen from being worn, but my shoes probably put more wear on it than was During recovery, I also make use of this because since I cannot lay around for 9 months just to heal, I continue to exercise while receiving treatment The term is twelve I like its light weight and ease of operation This chair is comfortable, and has a lot of leg room It's almost impossible for me to notice it when I wear Using it as a way to boost your confidence, however, could give you false confidence. On some days, I feel as if I'm doing much better and I'm happier Wear it if you don't want to get sick I will respond within 30 days This ankle will wear out in sixty minutes. This thing is excellent at what it does. While the cost was quite high, I believe the comfort and convenience of the hotel make it worth it The flexibility and agility of the system I felt more free because of it.

To start things off, I've never written a product review before in my life The quality of this one is that high. A soccer match cost me my right ankle 2 months ago when I sprained it. It's taken me a few weeks to recover from my recent injuries, and I'm sad about this, as previously I was able to recover from these kinds of injuries relatively quickly. As much as my ankle pain is minor at the moment (I feel it only when I'm running/jumping), I decided to be competitive with it by playing frisbee with it. Are there results? As soon as I woke up, the pain from my leg was gone and I was able to run at full speed. Despite the high price, I now see that it's worth every penny.

At first I was skeptical, but now I'm convinced. I know it's only mid-November, but it's just mid-November I'd love to have this in February, but I think it has a good chance of being the best buy for 2020.

This is a great support for obscure tendon problems. I've been taking up a lot of walking to keep myself fit since I'm unable to attend regular gym classes. I've also overdone my foot with the walks on my mountain property. It seemed that every old injury had returned to haunt me. I have found that wearing this brace and wearing new orthotics and Merrell hikers helped tremendously. Bauerfeind's customer service is even more impressive! It took me a little longer to resolve a problem with the brace I ordered directly from them, but they did it with no fuss. Very good to know, thank you!.

Since I've been working out and running in it for a week now, it has become my favorite outfit! It is very supportive. I sprained an ankle badly in November and re-injured it a couple of weeks ago. In April, I rolled the same ankle so I plan to wear the gaiters for several months during high school You should participate in an intense workout and run (at least outside, not on a treadmill). It's a bit pinchy along the top of the ankle when you first put it on, but it no longer pinches after a few minutes. Although it is as supportive as my ProCare brace that I received when I first injured myself, you cannot wear this right after a sprain as it is very tight and adheres to the leg like a compression sock. . . There would never be a time when it was put over significant swelling and would be very painful to get on and take off. You can wear it for a few weeks after swelling has gone down, when you're ready to get back to activity but are worried about stability, however.

Can be a little pricey but clearly you get what you pay for. I have used a lot of braces in the past, but these have been the best so far. While the cost is a major drawback, these fit exactly how they should and provide support like a bulky brace but I can actually move around comfortably in them. One of them has just begun to show signs of wear after two to three times a week usage for over a year.

As described, and as rated, this product is exactly as it appears on the website. There is no bulk or bulky look to it and it fits within all shoes, yet it holds as well as the bigger, In my case, I had a leg fracture and tore ligaments in my ankle. The break is healing but the ankle is too weak to function (I produce maple syrup and spend a lot of time in I feel as if my ankle is not injured by wearing this ankle support. Despite my feeling that my ankle may give out, I don't think it will. Despite the rigid fluidity, it is still fluid.
