Provides good support. Sizing is not shoe size but by ankle circumference. How to measure that is in the preview images for the product. It is true to size (size 9 inch ankle and the small fit great). You can wear it without socks but a sock underneath is far more comfortable. Be fairly careful lacing it up as it can be overly tight- but you will quickly realize it needs adjustment. You can wear shoes over it, but will need to wear the shoe looser than usual to accommodate it. It does take a few minutes to put on each time because the laces are too short to just loosen them like you do a shoe and so you are relaceing it every time. While you can buy longer laces, you would end up with excessive laces after the brace is on.

I tore two ligaments in my ankle. I have been rehabbing it and my PT recommended a figure eight brace as I Travel for work and tend to push myself too hard too quick.ProsStability, my ankle is not going anywhere. I wore this 5 weeks after the initial injury, with my ankle still swollen, surfing. There are stil some ways your foot can move it this thing that can be a little painful when surfing but nothing major.It’s comfortable in my footwear. It’s winter and I wear a lot of boots and I can still get my boots on even though I have wide calves. I do have to remove the thicker soles in that one shoe and put in a thin one so my foot doesn’t feel so constricted.Wet or dry. As mentioned, I both hiked and surfed in this thing and both times it was so great to have this.ConsIt can rub your skin if you are using it without a sock, like for swimming or with sandals.It’s not a slip in so you need to take a few mins to put it on before you head out.It doesn’t help with pressure pain. If stepping down causes pain, this does not stop that pain when walking.TipsThe Velcro is legit and will stick to any and everything. When not in use, immediately attach the VelcroWear a thinner compression sock on the injured leg. The compression sock helps with the swelling, but wearing thick socks in this thing make my toes feel constricted. So if you need thicker socks add an ankle sock on top of the brace...on the other foot wear a regular sock, looks weird, but trust me...When drying take laces out.Flex your foot upward when you strap this up, it gives it a stronger hold. On the side straps, there are finger holes, use your index finger to pull it tighter than you will with your hand.Buy laced boots for winter instead of zipper.

I give this item a full 5 stars because it eliminates all of the problems that I have with my prior brace. First thing I will give is some context, I work in a warehouse, and I am required to be on my feet for 10 hours a shift. My podiatrist has informed me that I have tarsal-tendinitis in combination with plantar fasciitis. I was told that unless I intend to limp home every evening, I would be wearing an ankle brace to work for the rest of my career as a warehouse associate. My doctor gave me my first brace; which was good but I found myself on Amazon to find a replacement only 4 months after I received it. It had as much of a lifetime as a pair of shoes and cost just as much. Price and lifetime weren't my only issue; I needed to wear this brace under my sock, and this made chafing a major issue!I have been a fan of Shock Doctor with prior braces and decided that I would take a trial run with this one. The Shock Doctor brace fulfilled all my physical needs as a "special needs" brace! It not only provided all necessary support that I need for my chronic foot condition but it also eliminated chafing, due to the fact that it is intended to be worn OVER a sock!!! My previous brace was primarily secured with velcro, this wasn't a problem until a month or so in when I found that the primary velcro sutures wore out quicker because they were taxed by the friction that the velcro foot wraps caused. The lace system of the Shock Doctor eliminates this issue and also adds a moderately more secure support structure. It is still to early for me to comment of the lifespan of this brace; but considering that this brace is less than half the price of the previous brace, It could wear in half of the time and I would still be happier price wise. I caution you that this brace is intended for over the sock use; so if you intend to wear it under, or without a sock, it wears larger then intended. In summary, this brace not only supports my ankle but also my foot, and it is half the price of the doctor prescribed option; do you really need to hear anymore? Exactly! and that is why I can only give five stars!
