Excellent product
I have worn BioSkin AFTR DC braces for almost 2 years. As a teacher and Band Director the braces gives the ease of putting it on at a moments notice, flexibility but with great support, easy to clean and transport, fits into any style shoe - I mainly wear athletic shoes or slip on dress shoes. I can not wear the traditional ASO brace because of the lacing up the front. BioSkin provides me with an alternative to the traditional ASO and is basically something you can buy off the shelf. I have purchased several AFTR DC braces and will continue to use them long into the future.

Very stabilizing
Wish I'd known about it months ago post surgery for a calcaneal fracture after 7 weeks in a cast.

Ankle savior
I'm on my third AFTR DC. First, two allowed me to continue competitive sand Volleyball with a very damaged ankle from years of severe spraining. Now, 5 months post ankle reconstruction (tendon, ligament and bone microfracture) my 3rd (nice new clean) AFTR brace was the only thing I wore post plaster caster/boot. Yesterday, only 4 1/2 months post surgery I played a full day sand tourney in the brace. I had not a single worry it would support my new and improved ankle. I'm lucky to have found this brace! Recommended for ANYONE with chronic instability or after injury recovery. It IS a little too bulky for most shoes, causing them to be a bit too snug but that didn't bother me since I use it for flip flops and barefoot athletics. Faithful customer here!
