Mueller Sports Medicine Lite Ankle Brace, Ankle Pain Relief Support for Men and Women, Ideal for Sprains, Strains, Arthritis, One Size

i bought this product after looking into a lot of other braces. this brace provides solid support without causing your foot to fall asleep. before, i've been using the spandex type with 2 long bandages attached to it. i've also used the type that you lace up, typically made of leather or like material. i'm sure most people know the type of products i've been using. both provided pretty good support but it was just too uncomfortable to use during basketball. my foot would not get the blood circulation and was just irritating. most times than not, i end up having to readjust and/or just take off the whole thing.i've been using this brace for about 4 weeks now, about 2 times a week for basketball. this provides the support you want without the irritation. period. solid product that does its job. only con i've found is that the ankle cushion is just not enough. i just put a folded sock on the inner side of my ankle and it is perfect.definitely give this brace a look cause it is just great, especially for this price range. nothing else that i've tried (spandex w/ 2 bandages, lace-up, and individual bandages) was this comfortable and supportive.UPDATE: 8/1/2013I've meant to update this review earlier but forgot to. I stopped using the brace when I was looking to get a second pair for both ankles about 1 year after my purchase. The reason why I stopped using them was because I found the Active Ankle T-2 to have superior padding around the ankles (without the need for an extra sock for padding) and the strap that goes around the brace was much larger which felt more secure. In fact, the brace itself was much larger as well. But I'm sure I'll keep this one as an emergency back-up whenever I need one.

Have not used it yet, the old one is still useable. I have had and used this for many years. It is just as good and much less expensive than the one that I got from my MD. It does the job! it gives me the stability and support I need for my ankle. But it also gives me the flexibility to do most everything, and wear nearly any kind of footwear. At my age, (66), running is not an option. But if I were able-I know I could. Walking on uneven ground is not so scary as it could be. After several of these, I think I know what I'm talking about. These let me not worry about twisting my ankle all the time.

A complete lie. This product does nothing for ankle support. I am so disappointed with this product. Also you can't wear it with a shoe it only hurts the bottom of your foot.

It was exactly as shown, however the bottom foot “plate” was longer and wider than expected and didn’t fit right for running. It would work fine with just walking at normal pace. I thought if adapted at the bottom part then this would be a great product with good ankle support. Until then, it didn’t work as planned.

This brace does a pretty good job. I have size 15 shoes, so I am sure it works better with normal sized feet. For me, it takes two people to get it adjusted to be snug enough to work. The adjustable padding is very good, though could be twice as thick, I would pay a few extra bucks for that. The wide Hook and Loop strap does a very nice job and keeping everything in place. The plastic that goes under the foot needs padding, but a trip to Dr. Scholls resolved that issue. The gell works best! Being made of plastic, it will give and by no means is ridged. However, it does a great job of stabilizing side to side movement. The hinged sides allows you foot to work normally as you walk. As in all things, you get what you pay for. --Would I recommend it or buy another? YES!--

The Mueller Lite Ankle Brace has been a lifesaver for my son! After breaking his ankle in multiple places, we were worried about how well he’d recover and get back to playing soccer. But with this brace, he’s been able to play full games without any issues! It provides excellent support, is comfortable to wear, and doesn’t restrict his movement on the field. I highly recommend it for anyone recovering from ankle injuries—it’s truly made a difference in his confidence and ability to play again. A fantastic product!

I have been playing sports my entire life. At my current age I have focused on basketball and that is 95% of what I use this brace for. I have two bad ankles, and one of them isn't just bad but is pretty much made of rubber now. Without a support it will roll over without anything more than simply stopping and/or planting my foot. The brace fits nicely in my shoe and the support comes up high enough to supply ample support to my ankle. I do recommend that you strap the Velcro strop high on the brace as the bottom of that strap can rub the back part of your foot, just above your heel. This can cause a nasty blister or rub that breaks the skin. But I have had no problems since moving it up higher.The one thing I would recommend for this brace is to provide an opening where your ankle bone lines up on the brace. The "cushion" that is provided inside the brace is VERY thin and if you have a sharp or pointy ankle bone like I do, it can become very sore after an hour or two of being active. I have actually drilled a hole to provide comfort.Get this brace before your ankles become rubber like mine. I wish I had worn this before so that my ankles were still good and strong. The truth is, you WILL sprain your ankle if you are active in sports, especially basketball.
