Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer Lace Up Ankle Brace Sprain Support White, SM

I’m recovering from a sprained ankle, and I needed added support to accommodate my semi-active lifestyle. I have severe Plantar Fasciitis, which makes it difficult to wear certain products. I tried multiple ankle support devices (ankle support compression sleeves, ankle support bands, and even changed my shoe insoles to aid in stability). Regardless what product I used, they caused excruciating foot pain, because these products would put direct pressure on the Plantar Fascia. I saw this brace, and it appeared the straps didn’t cause direct pressure the Plantar Fascia. I was correct the straps cross over, and go directly under the heel and come up the sides. The brace does cover a portion of the Plantar Fascia, but doesn’t cause constricting pressure. I would say it provides medium support, and allows adequate movement for some sports. I’m a 8.5 mens shoe size, and the (small) fits excellent. The only issue I’ve found, is a calf-sock is needed under the brace to prevent chafing from the seems, and since the straps run under the heal it can be difficult to put in a tight fitting shoe, which will pull the straps out from under the heel, so I loosen up shoe laces to allow for insertion. I ride a hover board, which puts excessive strain on my ankles, and the occasional spontaneous dismount can be tragic for my ankles, so I ordered a second for the other foot out of precaution.

women's shoe size 8, ankle measurement 11.5" ordered a size small. was using an elasticized compression device, and it just wasn't making a difference helping to calm the peroneal tendonitis yelling at me from my ankle. THIS device offered marked support and greater relief. I've been wearing it every day. slides easily into my Birkenstocks and I'm pretty confident it'll fit in my barefoot shoes. not at all complicated to use. the laces are wildly long when tied up, but necessary for the fit. once you've slid your foot into the little lace-up nylon boot and tie it up, you can feel the difference. add the cross-over straps....so much better! it's a little fiddly the first time, and you have to completely loosen the laces to remove the "boot," so it isn't a two-second event, but then it isn't even a 30-second event. I'm SO glad I ordered this stabilizer. it, along with isometric exercises, are making a difference!

This is the second ASO Ankle Stabilizer brace I've purchased for my daughter who plays elite level volleyball. The braces provide the additional support she needed to take her through hours of training & camp this month. Very pleased. Fits both feet and is comfortable enough to wear for 4-6 hours.

I'm returning for the next larger size. Seems to be great support and quality but I should have measured my ankle over my sock and (most importantly) should have measured when my ankle was swollen in the evening. Adjusting the laces during the day for swelling of the ankle, resulted in the lace eyelets being too far apart and the laces causing too much pain to my instep and front of my ankle.

Works great, easy to use, comfortable to wear.

This is our third purchase of this ankle brace in three years. We buy new ones each basketball season because Velcro wears overtime. Great product overall for the price.

I bought the Med Spec ASO Ankle Stabilizer after a mild sprain from trail running, and it’s been a game-changer for both support and confidence. It fits securely inside my running shoes without feeling bulky, which is a major plus compared to other braces I’ve tried. The lace-up design with figure-eight straps gives it a snug, customized fit. Once it’s on, it really locks the ankle in place, reducing side-to-side movement without limiting my range of motion too much. I’ve worn it for hiking and lifting, and it stays put—even during sweaty workouts. Pros: • Feels stable but not restrictive • Slim enough to fit in most shoes • Durable stitching and high-quality Velcro • Washable (I hand-washed it and air-dried with no issues) Cons: • Takes a minute to lace up properly • Sizing runs a bit small – I’d size up if you’re on the border After about 2 weeks of daily use, I noticed less swelling and more stability during activity. I’ve already recommended this to a teammate recovering from a rolled ankle. Whether you’re recovering or just need support for weak ankles, this brace is well worth it.

Very disappointed in this ASO ankle brace purchase. I’ve actually bought four of these in the past and have been using for 10 years. They’ve been my go-to brace for years. So, I didn’t think twice to order replacements. Unfortunately, to my surprise, they’ve changed their product and even though I ordered the same size as in the past, the straps you pull up on the sides were two inches too long on each side making it unusable. Not only does it look ridiculous, it tears up your skin since the Velcro strap was constantly rubbing on my leg and I can’t wear it. Cutting the strap isn’t a good solution as it leaves very little Velcro left to secure the strap to the brace and you’d be cutting off the handle part that you need to pull it on. The fabric material of the strap itself is also different and a problem. It’s skinnier and this soft nylon material that bunches up when you pull it on and just digs into your foot instead of laying flat and supporting the arch. (Photos attached to help you understand what I mean. Please note the black brace is the new version I just bought, and I also posted a photo of their older version, in white. Notice the difference in how the strap lays against the bottom of my foot.) I was also disappointed to find out there is a no return policy, I’ve rarely had to make returns on Amazon and never had problems so it didn’t occur to me to check the return policy before purchasing. I wish Amazon would flag something in the purchase process so it is very clear when you are buying something with a no return policy, and can make an informed decision. The return policy does very from seller to seller. So just understand that before you decide whether or not to give this a shot. I did try ordering the next smaller size hoping that would solve the problem, and while the straps were now the right length, the boot was too small for my foot and the shoe laces too short. I am also disappointed to find that this company (and they are the product manufacturer) has zero customer service, I contacted them twice regarding the design changes and problems and they did not even reply.

Kann ich nur empfehlen, gute Stabilität, kann man gut beim Training tragen.

I've been buying ASO ankle braces for 15 years. It's probably the most reliable and supportive brace in the market for all people - those who want support after an injury, those who want to replicate medical tape without the mess, those who need some extra arch support, those who are playing through injury. When they first became widely available on Amazon, it was great, they could be had for as little as $21. But in the post-covid world a few things have happened: 1) They got a lot more expensive. Seems to be found for closer to $30 now 2) The product build/quality control is now terrible. For the 2nd point let me explain. I typically use these braces 3-4x per week for tennis and basketball, ranging from 1-2 hours a session. In the past, each brace would probably last me close to a year before the tightness of the straps started to wane due to wear and tear, they just wouldn't lock as tight and you could tell your ankle could move quite a bit more. There were a few odd things about my last pair. First, even when brand new, they would shed. Unsecuring the velcro for the first time (just to put the brace on), left tiny bits of fabric all over the floor. This, of course would repeat when you took the brace off...and it continued each time you wore it. Second, for the 1st time in 15 years, the brace actually tore at the opening of the foot, which of course, made it unwearable/had to replace. But not only that, I noticed I had lost some shoelace eyelets (the metal rings where your laces go through). This latest pair didn't even last me 6 months. It's still a good functional product, but the build quality/durability is pretty bad now. I just bought a replacement, it's also shedding.

I have weak ankles and an MCL knee injury. This was recommended to help me get back into the sports I play - football and tennis. So far so good. Really good firm support around the ankle which in turn takes any undue pressure off my knee. I presumed it came as a pair, it's only one! I will likely buy another one. Very good support.

Molto buono
