ASOASO Ankle Stabilizing Orthosis w/inserts (Large - Black)

This is the BEST ankle brace on the market PERIOD. Don't waste your money on neoprene ankle braces that provide nothing more than a placebo effect to those who wear them (Physical therapists and medical physicians have all told me this). After rolling my right ankle I wanted the best support that still allowed my ankle to freely flex forward and backward while playing basketball. I wear a men's size 12 shoe and the large fits like a glove. This item is worth every penny. Wouldn't hesitate buying again if needed. Trust me, your ankles will thank you.

I have had bad ankles for years and have tried many different braces. These work quite well and give good support while fitting into most shoes. They are a bit of a pain to lace up and then wrap the straps in a figure 8 wrap, but this also allows one to adjust them easily. Once you learn how tight or loose you need them it is not hard at all. But it will take a few minutes to get them on.If you have limited use of your hands or can't bend over easily you will need help putting them on.I don't use them for athletic purposes but can see how they would be very good for that too.

I twisted the heck out of my ankle and needed to stabilize the joint. I looked at several reviews from running sites, and the ASO consistently came in first in support. I used their sizing guide based on shoe size, and got the right size on the first try.It takes me about a minute to put on the orthosis, but it is *well* worth it. I have no issue with it fitting into my shoe and the stability it has provided is outstanding. 3 weeks after my injury, I'm back to running, and just the other day I stepped on the edge of a paver and the brace held my ankle from rolling.If your ankle is compromised and prone to rolling, I *HIGHLY* recommend this device. it's worked *great* for me.

I’ve ordered this twice and it doesn’t have the inserts nor does it have a pocket for the inserts

This brace receives high ratings everywhere I have checked and the price was comparable to others so I thought it was worth a try. I ordered this after I rolled my ankle badly to protect from future injuries when I play volleyball. It seems to work fine, it is just a precaution and I do not know if my ankle would be able to roll if put in a position to do so.One of my main concerns was whether it would fit comfortably in my sneaker, and it does fit without any discomfort or excessive stretching. Maybe need to pull the tongue out a little extra before putting my foot in. The plastic inserts are relatively bendy and I do not know how much stability they contribute (I also have the model of this brace without the inserts, which is slightly thinner).Putting the brace on isn't difficult, takes about an extra minute. I was initially against getting the lace up kind because I thought they'd take forever but this is not the case.Seems like this will be durable and last a long time, only time will tell. I would recommend this brace if concerned about ankle stability or recovering from injury.

This was recommended by my surgeon as the next step after a boot for post-op support after an Achilles tear. It doesn't do what I needed it to do - keep your foot from pointing too far up. Size was good for men's size 10.5.

I sprang my ankle badly playing basketball and at over 40 years old, it took longer than 2 months to heal. Bought this to prevent that from happening again.This brace gives very good support. The slots allow you to insert the included plastic inserts for more support, but the plastic they give you are so flexible, it doesn't do much. Even without the inserts, it is very good. I wanted more, so I used a wire coat hanger and bent it like a long U shape bar. Filed the ends so it won't cut the brace cloth. Inserted these into the slots and the support is excellent.To use the brace, tie the lace up. Then wrap the 2 long side straps around both sides and velcro them tight. Then the last velcro Elastic large band goes last to cover the top of the ankle. Use this with good high top shoes and sprang ankles should be a thing of the past.

Runs small. Nicely designed. Returned because hubby couldn’t wear it.
