Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace for Chronic Ankle Instability - Durable and Comfortable, Medium, Right

I have been searching for the perfect brace to support my ankle now since I’ve started walking in regular shoes about a month ago, 3 months following my ankle surgery. My ankle surgery kind of failed and I don’t blame anyone for it, as I have a known condition, Ehlers Danlos Syndrome, which causes a lot of surgeries not to have the best outcomes. But I deal with that however I can and in this case finding an ankle brace to support my needs is the best way to do so. This brace is fabulous, as long you buy the correct size. I had previously bought the same brace for my right side and the only size available at the time was an extra large, which is still way too big (it’s actually even bigger than it was when I received it because weight loss affects every body part). It definitely doesn’t work as intended unless you have the correct size. But that’s easy enough to choose. I am able to use the brace with or without shoes and it prevents the tendons on the outside of my ankle from popping out of place, which is the main problem I have had since my surgery. This brace works better for me than the custom made Richie style brace I have, which only works if you are wearing shoes with it. I need something that works when I’m too lazy to wear shoes or just want to walk around barefoot. And this is the overall winner thus far. I try out a lot of braces before settling on something normally, so that’s saying a lot. This brace is bulkier than my custom made brace, but it’s also far more comfortable against my sensitive fibula, which I believe has an anchor in it from my surgery. Aircast always seems to be the best solution for my bracing needs, whatever body part requires it.

Bought this after i broke my ankle and I was no longer in the boot. I was looking for something that would give me good ankle support throughout the day but was also easy to take on and off. This brace was just perfect and gave me the support i was looking for. It is also great quality and after using it for a long period of time Its still in great shape to use in the future should another injury arise. Its also not too bulky so i had no problem getting my shoes on over it. I would definitely recommend this brace.

I did not order this item. It does not fit

After suffering a pretty severe sprain, my doc gave me an aircast that reduced pain while walking. That one was so bulky that flip flops were about the only footwear that fit with it, and it felt like I was constantly fussing with the straps to get decent support for my ankle. I was looking for something that fit into my shoes better, but also something I could wear when I started to walk and then run again when ready. This aircast was definitely lighter, overall seemed to fit against my ankle better, and reduced pain more effectively. I'm definitely glad I switched to this over the other one. I was able to fit it into most shoes, though it did feel like it was stretching my running shoes out a bit and it was a little uncomfortably snug. The only issue was that if I wore it all day and did a fair amount of walking around, or took it for a walk that was at least a couple of miles, it started to chafe against the back of my calf and rub it raw. I had hoped it would be something I'd wear for longer distances/runs to prevent future ankle rolls, but it's been a little too uncomfortable for that. Awesome for post-sprain support though. I wear a size 8-8.5 women's shoe and bought a size S which worked fine for me.

Recent repetitive injury which I made a lot worse when I twisted my foot sideways recently. And the pain on the left side of my foot would get steadily worse as the day progressed on moderate ground or hike before that. Podiatrist informed me that I had repeatedly damaged a tendon? ligament? that runs from the calf, to the ankle, along the foot. Put on this exact brace which I will be wearing non-stop for at least the next 6-8 weeks +medication + physical therapy. The doctor is working to help me to avoid surgery. In any event, am happy with this brace which is holding my ankle securely; the velcro straps are ample and effective in helping secure the brace. (As someone with numerous wrist braces for carpal tunnel, am all too familiar with shoddy ineffective Velcro). The brace fits into soft pull-on sneakers and the Avia "Grit" hiking boot (Avia Grit Sport Women’s Hiking Boots, Mid Top Ankle Trail Shoes for All Weather) e.g. shoes/boots with laces and some expansion at the ankle (as I am wearing light wool socks with it). Well designed for its intended use as recommended by a professional. Liked so much I've ordered a second one, as with continuous use braces inevitably wear. (I was also pleased with the price for the quality, as at least with my carpal tunnel braces you can get a nice soft brace where the metal plates just end up poking through the material. This feels sturdy.) Finally, if injured see a doctor (sigh) as apparently blowing the initial injury off was not helpful in my case; the most immediate injury had me debating for the emergency room; and under professional guidance I felt some immediate relief the minute the doctor wrapped this on. Good product, thumbs up! Not likely you can wear dainty heels with this but I am happy to be able to walk (and I don't like dainty shoes anyway lol). Also pleased I could order from Amazon; no fuss. (I don't work for Amazon but just saying the TrailBuddy Trekking Poles – Lightweight 7075 Aluminum Hiking Poles for Women, Men & Seniors that I purchased a few years ago have also been useful after the injury - used as an emergency cane so I could walk before the brace without screaming).

I badly sprained my ankle and needed a good support system for recovery. My shoe size is 8.5 to 9 and I have skinny weak ankles--but it was hugely swollen. So I was on the fence between a small or medium. I ended up ordering the small and due to the swelling it was too tight & very uncomfortable. I then ordered the medium & it is so much more comfortable (but of course you can't return this) I think when the swelling goes down the small will be good for everyday wear. It also depends on what socks you might wear--a thicker sock would never have fit in the small. It seems like a well made & supportive device. Odd strap set up though. The long main support strap wraps around--kind of figure 8 style. The fabric cover to keep the velcro from sticking to things is kind of weird but works OK. I'm still not getting around too much but think this will work well when I start getting back to normal activities.

I got this air cast when I sprained my foot/ankle. The doctor did not have the correct size so I ordered it from Amazon. The air cast arrived the next day and fit perfectly. I'm very happy with it.

I got tackled by an off leash out of control 100+lb. dog. Fractured my ankle. I was in a ortho boot immediately after the injury. The boot was heavy. I had a knee replacement on the same leg about a year ago. This brace was my saving grace. I was able to walk with it on .That made a huge difference. The Velcro straps really hold things in place. But on the other hand, arthritic fingers will wrestle with them. Wear with laced up snow/hiking boots tall. And sneakers. I would walk around the house with it on with a sock. It supported my travels (at times precarious) on stairs and staircases. Albeit slow travels, but doable. I give it 4* because the side bars cut through the bottom of their casings and pinched. I had to replace it. Couple of months old. Watch out for price shifts on this bracelet to the turn of 40.00! That being said, it definitely gets you back on your feet!

Me gusto mucho, da un muy buen soporte al tobillo para jugar fútbol, desde que la compré ya no he tenido lesion del tobillo, la recomiendo ampliamente, lo unico malo es que para ponerse una espinillera de las grandes si es estorbosa, pero de ahi en fuera es un muy buen producto.

Excellent just what I needed to help me get back into tennis after twisting my ankle skiing. Supportive and much easier to put on and take off than aircast a60 and also provides more support and still allows a good range of movement. Note though this is for the Aircast Sport not the aircast rail. (The sport was what I was looking for so was pleasantly surprised when I received that and not an aircast rail. idk what the aircast rail even is so I think the amazon description is wrong)

Important to fit correctly to be both firm and comfortable. Not complicated .

Produto bom, mas um pouco desconfortável. Achei bem apertado, mas o material é excelente

Mit dieser Schiene bin ich richtig glücklich. Ich zog mir vor ein paar Jahren einen Bänderriss zu. Aufgrund meiner extremen Arbeitsbedingungen wird mein betroffener Knöchel immer wieder in Mitleidenschaft gezogen und wenn ich auftrete fühlt es sich wie ein Gehen auf Messern an. Zum Schluß dachte ich :"Jetzt geht gar nichts mehr, wie sollst Du weitermachen?". Dank dieser Schiene kann ich mich vollkommen Schmerzfrei bewegen und der Knöchel wird auch gestärkt. Ich habe mir dieselbe Schiene gleich ein zweites Mal als Reserve bestellt. Lässt sich gut tragen in allen Schuhen und Arbeitsstiefeln. Lieferung erfolgte schnell. Aufpassen beim anpassen... ein bissel üben damit kein unerwünschter Druck entsteht.
