Light Ankle Brace with Figure-8 Strap

I’m genuinely impressed with this McDavid ankle support. I wore it for a full 2 hours of football and played on a hard surface, and for the first time in ages I finished with zero ankle pain and no limp afterward. The support is spot-on — stable without feeling restrictive, and comfortable enough that I barely noticed it once I was playing. It doesn’t dig in, doesn’t rub, and doesn’t feel bulky in boots. I had full confidence in my ankle the entire session. I could honestly wear this all day it’s that comfortable (not that I plan to), which says a lot about the design. Cheaper supports I’ve tried before either did nothing or were uncomfortable — this one actually works. More expensive than some, but 100% worth it. If you play sport and want real ankle support without sacrificing comfort, I’d highly recommend it.

I injured the outside of my ankle just before a golf holiday and honestly thought I’d be cancelling. After trying this ankle brace, it completely changed things. It gave me exactly what I needed: solid support and stability without restricting movement or feeling bulky in my shoe. I was able to walk 18 holes repeatedly over the course of the holiday, including uneven terrain and sidehill lies, with no major flare-ups. I wore it only for golf, iced after rounds, and the combination worked perfectly. Without this brace, there’s no chance I’d have been able to play. Comfortable, well made, and confidence-boosting — I wouldn’t travel or play golf with an ankle issue without it now. Highly recommended for sport-specific use.

This has really helped me. To begin with it was a little cumbersome, but since taking out the insole in my trainer it fits very well. I have very unstable ankles (with resulting knee pain) and I am definitely more stable when exercising using this.

I purchased this item based on advice given by my Physiotherapist following quite a bad ankle injury that resulted in torn ligaments. After much research and consideration on other ankle supports and braces I chose the McDavid ultralite and have to say I am very impressed with it. This ankle strap does exactly what the description says, it offers complete support which makes you feel confident when wearing it and it is very comfortable to wear for long and short periods. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone with weak ankles or who has suffered any kind of ankle injury, however, if there has to be a negative point then it would be this, although the size guide is based on shoe size, consider the size before ordering. I am a size 9 and ordered a medium as per the size guide, when it arrived it was a bit on the small side so I had to return it and order a large size, this proved to be the right size for me but it cost me £6 to return the original size that I had ordered. Over all, a great ankle support which has proved to be great value for money

I had tried physiotherapy, rest, two other different braces, medication, supplements ... you name it. After 8 months of all that I was starting to freak out that I might need surgery( which is never optimal) for my ankle tendinitis. This strap has been magic. After a couple of months wearing it daily I am back to cautiosly playing basketball ( but boy it's hard to get back in shape when you are 40 years old:), before trying this brace I couldn't even walk for more than a couple of minutes without sharp pain in my foot. I know it looks bulky, but it is very comfortable. My advice - don't tighten the laces too much. I did that in the beginning out of overabundance of caution - I wanted my ankle to be supported. In fact - try wearing it with the laces tied, but as loose as possible. The two velcro straps on the sides are plenty support. Big thanks to the designers and the producers of this strap. I really can't thank you enough. I am trying not to jinx myself, but this brace has been a lifesaver Edit 3 years on. Don't use long term !!!!! The brace works fine for ankle issues. I did develop patellar tendon issues ( Jumpers knee- very annoying ) Apparently limited flexibility in your ankle ( I think wearing this brace qualifies) increases your chance of getting knee problems 14 times ( or something). I did run with it and I am over 40 so it could be me just getting old.

Tried various ankle supports over the years and had given up playing 5 a-side because none of them gave me the support I needed. Read about the McDavid and decided to give it one last try. Have been using them for 5 months now and so far so good. Would definitely recommend the support for anyone who has a tendency to roll their ankles.

I damaged the ligaments in my left ankle about 8 years ago but weakened it last year I rested it and it had nearly healed when I started playing sport on it again but then rolled over and severely damaged it. Infuriated and determined not to loose 6 months of activity I bought this and was able to walk around on my ankle confidently again and within a few weeks was back playing sport with my ankle kinesio taped and strapped up with the support. It makes my ankle feel very secure, stops a lot of lateral movement which was causing me grief before and I've been using it for 3 months now. Played football, badminton, squash with it on and feel much more confident. I've started losening the straps on it now to give my ankle slight movement to strengthen it and it is definitely helping. Only downside is this is not an everyday item you will wear for long periods of time, I played football for a full 90 minute game with it on and by the end of it my foot was starting to get uncomfortable. Great for any sport where you require severe restriction of lateral movement and support but not to be used for an extended period of time.

Impossible to put on if youve actually damaged your ankle. Fiddly setup so give yourself an extra 15 mins if you have to go to work.

De lo mejor en el mercado, calidad, durabilidad y funcionamiento.

Da ich mehrfach beim Laufen und Fußball spielen umgeknickt bin habe ich lange überlegt und dann doch spontan dieses Produkt gekauft. Es läuft sich super, stützt komplett den Fuß, gibt unheimliche Sicherheit und ist sehr gut verarbeitet, bestelle sie mir jetzt auch für den zweiten Fuß, fühle mich sehr sicher damit, denn im Gelände laufen und Fußball macht jetzt mehr Mut wieder und tut sehr gut👍

Es la tobillera clásica del deporte. Tiene buena sujeción por los cordones y los agarres de velcro. Puede ser útil tras una lesión para prevenir y darte seguridad de movimiento. La talla se ajusta bien.

I injured my right Achilles tendon two weeks ago during a 5 mile trail run. I will admit, I pushed myself a little too hard, too quickly, but thankfully it didn't cause permanent damage (I hope). Walking normally on it was extremely painful to the point of tears and I was gritting my teeth just to bear with it. Stairs were a nightmare. Going down them would cause a major stab of pain that would shoot up my calf unless I took care to plant it sideways on a step (without bending the ankle) as I traversed them. The first week, I tried out an old (10+ years) lace-up version of the McDavid ankle brace, but it didn't go far enough up on the ankle to provide adequate support for the tendon, and was overall just too loose where it mattered most. Another brand I tried out had support inserts embedded of each side--it provided the necessary support, but unfortunately those inserts rubbed against the medial malleolus and caused additional pain after an hour or so. I finally caved and bought this brace, noting that it had the height I needed w/o metal/plastic support inserts. When it arrived, I put it on immediately and was surprised at how well it fit. I'm a more narrow size 9.5 and bought the Medium brace--it's perfect. It's a lace-up and velcro combo that doesn't accidently cut off the circulation to your toes when tightened as well. I found it nice that the laces were long. I could do the initial tie, use the velcro straps that form the "x" under your foot and attach on the sides of the brace, run the laces through the finger pulls on the straps and tie it around my ankle as well. Then I'd finish it off by securing the main velcro strap (with the logo)so that none of the lace is hanging out. It feels great, the fabric is durable, and it breathes well! After a few minutes of wearing it with a normal shoe on, I barely had any issues with my ankle and practically forgot about it. It provides great support on the sides so it doesn't twist, and gave just enough support when I was walking down stairs to prevent pain by not overextending the tendon. It's comfy--been wearing it for a few days now and its dramatically increased my recovery rate. I'll wear it 10+ hours a day with no issues or discomfort--only to take it off at night. Just be sure to wear crew socks under it so that the top of the brace doesn't rub against your skin (and take a layer off. I've been getting really antsy not being able to run for two weeks now, but I'm feeling really confident in the progress my tendon's made and how well it's being supported by the brace. I'll go for a run with it on tomorrow and see how everything feels! It's worth the price, go for it!

je n'ai jamais vu de chevillèrent aussi performante que celle ci, elle n'est pas du tout génante, elle s'adapte au pied de chaque personne ( pour en avoir acheter pour des proches). Je suis tres ravi de cette achat et il ne faut surtout pas hésiter sur le qualité du produit. cela fait trois ans que je les portes quatre fois par semaines pour faire du sport a une haute intensité et des appuies puissant et pourtant la qualité et toujours présente. Le rapport qualité prix et impressionnant.
