Ossur FormFit Ankle Brace with Figure 8 Strapping - for Post Injury or Preventive Use in Basketball, Soccer, Football- Lightweight Material - Quick Lace Up & Inversion/Eversion Control - (Medium)

I can’t recommend this product enough! I suffered a trimalleolor fracture 2 years ago and still get pain and swelling. I work outdoors so need something that gives a lot of support and that will last and this brace does this plus more! This company made the aircast boot I was in after my surgery and their ankle brace is the best one I’ve tried (there have been a lot!) These benefits tied in the price make this more than a 5 star rating! So far I’ve bought 2!

I'm recovering from posterior tibial tendonitis, and I need a good ankle brace for support during some types of physical therapy and for whenever I can't avoid spending an extended time on my feet. Based on the description in this listing and some of the comments, I was hopeful this would be the one; unfortunately, I was wrong. The brace has a hard rubber component, about 1 inch wide and perhaps 3/16 thick, running under the arch of the foot. Putting any amount of weight on that foot is very painful, more or less like stepping on a rock bare-footed. I couldn't take more than a few steps wearing it and certainly could not have walked any distance with it on. So I decided to return the brace, only to find that the seller does not accept returns. The listing (at least as of today) does not mention this, and when I called Amazon to ask for help, they said there was nothing they could do for me. I'll keep fighting this and will post an update if I get anywhere, but please beware if you're considering trying this brace. It's quite uncomfortable, even painful, to walk on, and if you buy it, you own it -- no returns accepted.

This splint was advised to me by ankle specialist and it worked very well. The only thing I would say is it is really on only for a sprain of the ankle. I have since found out I’ve fractured mine.

Nowhere on the product page does it say that this product is NOT returnable. Sadly, I am stuck with a $33 product that I cannot wear. I ordered this product for my foot drop problem. I have a wide foot. Despite the heel to instep measurement, when laced, the top of the brace is very tight and restrictive cutting off blood flow. There is no way to loosen this part of the brace, as it is designed to fit snugly on the narrower part of your heel/instep. This restriction was when I was at rest in my recliner. I wouldn't even want to think about how tight this brace would have been when my foot was flattened and wider from weight bearing and walking. Now, afterwards, I read the reviews to find that others have had this problem with no refunds, to which Amazon has done nothing about. I've looked high and low on this product page, looking for something somewhere that says, "No Returns". Nada! I understand why customers cannot return this product - but please make that statement perfectly clear!

Excellent support for ankle although uncomfortable if ankle pinned but worth it for confidence in standing & peace of mind which helps enable physio & standing/walking.
