Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Support - Breathable Compression (Black, Medium/Left)

Feels amazing, looks good, but it’s a little pricey. I have used it several times and I’m very satisfied with its functionality. The only thing I wonder about is it’s durability, not cause it’s made cheap or anything but because I haven’t had it long and I am rough on things. Will give update down the road. Definitely worth it if you have consistent ankle pain or just want to prevent it.

There are times I can barely walk, after an unfortunate foot accident a few years ago causing loss of all tendons. The $20 supports I have tried are easy to get on and off but offer little relief, and my Arizona Boot is unwieldy. While careful sprain taping helps, it is a 10-minute on and 10-minute off process, requiring significant skill and using many yards of professional grade sports tape each day. Out of desperation, I tried this rather exotic sounding ankle support (Bauerfeind brand) made in Germany. It is really not my style to go for a product that seems so overpriced (`$70), but the extent to which it has provided real mechanical support for my ankle accompanied by very significant pain relief is truly amazing. Every point made in their blurb is true.It does take a few minutes to figure out how to get it on and wrap the attached band, but after a few times it's a 1 minute process. ORDER THE RIGHT SIZE - they tell you what to measure on your foot and NOTE THAT the right and left are quite different. AND READ THE INSTRUCTIONS PROVIDED!

This ankle brace is worth the high price tag. I haven't found any other braces with this level of support and comfort. I have a very bad left ankle and have sprained it 10+ times over the years. I've rolled my ankle hard both when backpacking and when mountain biking. The brace prevented injury every time. I'd also lIke the point out that this brace is extremely comfortable, even when wearing backpacking boots. It's thin enough not to dig in to your foot or leg and the fabric is breathable unlike every brace I've used in the past. I do question the durability but I have run it through the washing machine with no issues. If it breaks on me, I'll definitely be buying another one.

Decent ankle brace but design should change to double straps instead of one that winds figure 8. Also price is high for what it does.

Order one size up. I measured carefully, but had to send the medium back for a large. I would suggest that due to cost $$$ you check your local drug store before ordering. Once on, this ankle wrap provided great support and kept my fractured ankle steady when I walked. It slips on like a tight sock then has a long, attached strap that wraps around the foot and ankle.

This brace seems like a good ankle brace but I don’t think I’d call it a “sports” brace. The strap underfoot as incredibly bulky. I attempted to run while wearing this brace and found it to be very painful under the arch of my foot. I took it off after a half mile and haven’t used it since.

I love this ankle brace for two reasons: it provides great support and you can't feel it when you're running or basically doing any type of exercise. Works so much better than an ace bandage because it doesn't annoy you during your activity. I've already bought three more for various family members.

Thin and strong: this was the perfect solution for my White Mountains hiking trip. I have a weak ankle and although I rolled my ankle a couple times on the extremely difficult trails it was FAR better than any other product I have used and I made it all 8.6 miles and 5200 ft of elevation. A must have if you have issues like mine. Worth every penny.
