Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace for Chronic Ankle Instability, Sprained Ligaments and Strained Muscles or Tendons | Durable and Comfortable| LEFT, Medium

My physical therapist recommended these Aircasts, and they have been a total game-changer for me. I have Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and use them on both ankles for day-to-day support. They are so easy to just throw on when I know I have to walk. Let's be real: no heavy-duty orthopedic brace is "comfortable" like a slipper, but as far as braces go, it's as comfortable as it gets and it absolutely does the work. Sizing was super easy to figure out, too. Highly recommend buying these if you need serious stability!

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).

My husband bought the regular Aircast (not with AirSport) and it’s like a miracle - exactly what the doctor ordered but less expensive than in his office. When I bought the Aircast, I saw the Aircast AirSport and decided to order it too - less expensive than the one without AirSport. The AirSport has extra thicker padding but it works the same, gives same comfort, relieved pain & adds stability as the first and fits the same as the one without the “air pads”.. The only negative is that the AirSport is slightly harder to get on — but hubby says it’s not a deal breaker! I’m glad we have both. One can be cleaned & air drying and he has one to wear. He’s pleased with both. My husband (age 75) has serious damage to his left ankle - bone spurs and arthritis damage. His ankle is very large. Both offer support & Aircast is doctor recommended. Like the regular Aircast, he can wear the AirSport for 8-10 hours with comfort. Hand wash and he uses Oxyclean. He likes having 2 so one can be drying.

Love these support braces. I’ve needed and worn ankle braces for 4 years. I was unable to continue to get the braces from my foot doctor. I found these and they are better, more comfortable and fit in my shoes better than previously used braces. I’m happy

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.

I liked it at first but it rubbed my skin open after a while. The solid supports on either side make it impossible to fit inside shoes. I even tried extra wide and a larger size. The lace up braces are far better. I just use this one for when I have to get up in the middle of the night. It’s much quicker to put on and off.

I Purchased, this after a serious ankle break .2 casts and a walking boot ,this is what was next. Unfortunately, I could not fit it in any of my shoes. It is very stable!!! more than any other brace that I had purchased. I think the only type of shoe you could actually get it into would be a clog style and that is a no-no for ,. It’s very well-made if you could figure out what shoe to wear it with your Golden.! I might just wear it in the house where I can wear just slippers and be safe. This company was very easy to deal with and I got the product when it was promised.

My daughter had one of these that was supplied by her physical therapist when she badly sprained her ankle. Dur to torn ligaments, she wears this on a regular basis so the last one started to shred at the heel and we needed to replace it. This one was exactly like her last one and works as well as that one did. It is a little stiff at first but after a few uses, it "softened" up and is easier to get on now like her last one. It gives her great support and keeps her ankle from "giving out". I have tried others but they just did not fit right and did not give the support this one does. Highly recommend this.

If you have had ANY injury you need this! My ankle kept getting sprained from never healing properly and this was the only thing that fixed it. Im writing this several years later! It has never sprained again. It use to give out on me twice a year!!

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.

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

Articolo ottimo, preso a seguito di una grave frattura alla caviglia con lesione anche dei legamenti è leggera e permette di fare attività fisica in sicurezza

Ich habe eine Hemiparese und mir leider beim umknicken im gelähmten Fuss das Aussenband knöchern ausgerissen. Zur Stabilisierung bekam ich in der Klinik eine Aircast Schiene, die passte aber in fast keinen Schuh. Also habe ich mir hier bei Amazon eine schönere Bandage gesucht und traf auf die Airgo. Erst schreckte mich der Preis ab aber ich versuchte es trotzdem mal mit der Airgo und bin super zufrieden. Ich komme in jeden meiner Schuhe rein und mein Sprunggelenk wird super geschützt, Schmerzen habe ich durch die Schiene auch nicht beim gehen. Ist das Geld definitiv wert!
