Great for volleyball
My 15 year old daughter wears these for playing school and club volleyball. they are comfortable and supportive while still allowing her freedom of motion. My only complaint is that the velcro on the straps wears out relatively fast, so I'm glad I can just purchase relatively straps

Love the brace
This brace doesn't dig into my skin like the other one did leaving cuts. It is very comfortable, fits in any shoe, helps stabilize my ankle, and is very soft. Would highly recommend and have already.

I am a PA that has worked in the Orthopedic field for 15 years and have seen, and personally used, a variety of ankle braces over the years. I am recovering from an ankle fracture and was released to full weight bearing. Looked at A LOT of braces online. I bought the AFTR to help with stability so I could get back to hiking ASAP! It has been everything the manufacturer promises. Comfortable, easy to put on, offers stability and breathes. I have worn it for as long as 14 hrs without any issues. I'm back to hiking without a worry with my AFTR!

These work great
Our daughter was recovering from an ankle sprain and was afraid she would miss part of her middle school volleyball season. A rigorous rehab program along with the AFTR braces helped her get back on the court within two weeks. She's still going strong for club season with no issues. She was uncertain of them at first, but quickly got used to them and says they are comfortable to wear. She leaves them off for conditioning and ankle strengthening exercises.

I bought this for my daughter whom has had ankle issues playing soccer. She has tried different braces and this one seems to be the most comfortable. Her other brace was rubbing up against her ankle bone and causing discomfort. The AFTR brace supports her ankle well. So far she has not sprained her ankle while wearing the brace.

The sock and strap configuration gives good ankle support. It may look complicated, but it's easy to put on and feels very solid. I thought the velcro patch was becoming loose after just a couple uses, but it's fine. Perhaps it doesn't adhere well when it's a little damp after washing.

Broke my ankle last year and I am still cautious with some activities and this has been great support without a restriction of movement.

Very Good for Arthritis Pain
I ordered this brace from Amazon. At first I was not sure it would be comfortable because with the straps I had tightened too rigidly. But I gave it another try the next day without the straps and found comfortable support without pain. Later I tried the straps on and kept them moderately tight and my foot adapted and was helped more when I needed more firm support. The material seems very good quality. Will try some of their other products. They seem to have very good customer service.

My daughter broke her leg through both bones and growth plate in ankle. This brace allowed her to return to play (soccer) with confidence and no pain. It is also very comfortable. She never quit wearing it - even after she no longer needed it.

I can't bear to walk without my braces on
The pain in my feet is unbearable without these braces. I even sometimes sleep in them. They reduce my pain so much, that I rarely notice discomfort. This is an excellent product. My one complaint is that the brace material stretches out too quickly. I start to feel my pain increase after about 6 weeks. I can't afford to buy a new pair every 6 to 8 weeks. So, I have to continue to wear the pair I have until they loosen so much that the pain is once again unbearable. I wish that there was way to tighten the material around the foot as it looses its efficacy.
