## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ great purchase
*by S***R on June 26, 2025*

it is a great support for my ankle. reducing pain and increasing my confidence. It does take some time to lace up - and to lace down to get it off. Very worth the patience and time - for me.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its helpful for pain too.
*by A***R on June 19, 2025*

Works well and provides good foot and ankle support. It's worth the cost.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Bought for Basketball to Prevent Sprained Ankles, Wear Them Every Time I Play, Multiple Times a Week
*by W***E on July 28, 2016*

I use it while playing basketball as I'm a weak-legged, painfully mediocre player with a history or sprained ankles and I just happen to be taller than the other players in my group so I use my height to my advantage a lot (lots of jumps and landings).-The Brace obviously limits my movement in Basketball and makes me less agile than the players around me. But, that's just what you get for wearing the most protective Ankle Brace McDavid offered for Basketball! It may limit my agility significantly (especially against, shorter and faster players) but it has protected by ankles countless times (you can literally feel your ankle begin to turn/shift and then be pushed back in place by the brace which bring a smile to your face!) and increased my on court confidence tenfold!-If you play Basketball frequently you know how much injuries negatively effect confidence. In a sport where split-second decisions mean everything (even in pick up games!), all it takes is that hesitation when the man you are defending goes up or when you are near the basketball getting ready to elevate. All it takes is that second of hesitation for someone to be there to block you or corner you and you are frozen and forced to find a pass. This Ankle Brace has brought out my full potential on Defense and I have no fear going up to defend or get a rebound, I don't need to worry about my feet at all! It brings your confidence to where it should be, on the court!-WHY I GAVE THIS A 4-STAR AND NOT A 5:The Brace is as comfortable as you want it to be without sacrificing it's purpose when tied tightly. The only problem here is when you add on your shoes and tie them, the knot of your shoes meets at the bend in your foot (that upper arch) will be tight and put pressure on your foot during activities. This isn't debilitating or anything if you are wearing high socks like me, but it's not comfortable.-If using the Brace during Basketball, the loss of mobility in your Ankle I find, is made up by my Knee. The inability to bend my Ankle would force my Knee to move a bit for my Ankle when adjusting my position laterally (especially when "your man" has the ball and he is in front of you trying to fake you one way so he can crossover or just drive the opposite way). This put a lot more strain on my Knee than I would have wanted. But a simple Compression Sleeve on Knee kept/keeps my Knee flexible but resilient and after games, I find myself with very little strain/soreness compared to before.-Overall, this Ankle Brace is great, you only need one, just mentally be ready to put your force on the Ankle with the Brace a bit more than your other Ankle and you won't sprain either one. The laces will begin to fray a bit like any laces and the Brace does show wear and tear over extensive amounts of time. Great brace but when it eventually comes time to buy a new one, I will definitely look into new options before buying these expensive ones again (although I will most likely buy them again if not much has changed)! By no means are these worth the price or spectacular beyond belief so no customer loyalty, but I like what I bought and they perform well!
