DonJoy Stabilizing PRO Ankle Brace - Medium, Blk

I've used this brace for several years now. I was diagnosed with posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, and my orthopedist gave it to me to try. I work 12-hour shifts in a hospital and travel roughly a mile a shift on my feet. This brace keeps my foot and ankle stable and prevents any rolling from occurring. The brace is durable too. For as much use as it gets, I replace it every year to year and a half. It's not uncomfortable to wear, it's easy to put on and take off, and it fits into all of my shoes--sometimes I need to adjust the thickness of the socks I'm wearing depending on the shoes. I recommend this brace, but I suggest before buying it, you check with your doctor first and have them okay it for use for whatever condition you may be using it for to make sure the brace is the correct orthotic for you

Very effective and easy to adjust

I tore my peroneal longus tendon in my ankle, and my doctor prescribed this ankle brace. First of all, if it's possible, always check Amazon first to compare prices. In my experience they have always been far cheaper for the exact same product than what my doctor's office charges, even after insurance. I have worn this brace for casual, everyday use for over a year, and it is just beginning to fall apart. It definitely stabilizes my ankle. However, it does take a little longer to strap it on due to the laces, figure 8 straps, and ankle strap. You will need to adjust it throughout the day as your leg/ankle swells. I wear an athletic sock under it for comfort. Unfortunately the binding on the heel part digs in making it feel like I have a bone spur on my heel. I wish the brace could be redesigned with some kind of padded, cushioning material at the heel. The figure 8 strap also digs into the middle of the outside of my foot and causes pain. I try to adjust the position of the strap, but the discomfort is probably somewhat unavoidable due to my injury. The brace definitely shreds the inside of my sneaker lining--especially in the heel cup area. I have reinforced my sneaker heel cup with a thin layer of duct tape due to the damage from the Velcro edges. Perhaps a knee high could be slipped on over the brace to avoid destroying your shoes? I found out too late to prevent this. Unfortunately, sneakers are the only shoes I can wear with this brace. It's just too bulky for any other shoes. It's definitely not perfect, and hopefully improvements can be made to make it more comfortable on the heel, Achilles tendon, and outside of foot. However, it has stabilized my ankle to keep me from injuring it further.

I needed this for sure. Durability is a plus Very comfortable

Seller was prompt and professional and item was as described.

This ankle brace has been a lifesaver! My daughter plays both softball and basketball and sprained her ankles during basketball season. The doctor recommended this specific brace and said it’s the only one she should be wearing—and for both sports. Since she started using them, she hasn’t had any more sprains. She actually likes wearing them, which says a lot. Absolutely worth every penny for the protection and peace of mind.

My daughter plays volleyball and this has protected her ankles. I would highly recommend to protect or lessen the chance of injury.

I purchased the DonJoy Stabilizing Pro Ankle Support Brace for my son, and it’s been excellent for providing the support he needs. The medium size fits him perfectly and is adjustable, so he can get the right level of compression. The stability it offers is fantastic, and it’s helped reduce discomfort, especially during his workouts and long days on his feet. The brace is lightweight and stays in place without shifting around, making it comfortable to wear throughout the day. It’s also discreet with its simple black design, so he can wear it without it being noticeable.

I bought this for an ankle injury, because I was going to a trip to mexico and my doctor positively forbade me from walking on the beach without one. It rubbed a bit the first few times I wore it, but then i stopped lacing the top lace and it was fine. IT works great, I walked miles of beach and a week later my ankle is almost healed! Yay!
