4.0 out of 5 stars good quality - please provide size guide, October 9, 2009

This is a well-made product. I wear men's shoe size 10.5M and ordered a medium, as I had previously from another maker. It is definitely too small. The company was very responsive and have said that they will replace it with a large. It would help to provide a size comparison chart for this product on Amazon.

I am 42 and sprained my ankle badly playing tennis about three months ago. I have done physical therapy and have started to get back into playing, but still have some pain.
This brace is fantastic. I was able to start playing again and have full support. The best thing is if you have plantar fasciitis - the straps underneath give you a great deal of support.
The other half of the solution, though, is an Aircast A60. This is great for walking around - but doesn't offer the requisite support that the McDavid brace does for playing. The problem with the McDavid is that it's a bit much for non-sports use. I now have both the McDavid and Aircast and am very happy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ankle support!, January 27, 2008
I rolled my left ankle pretty badly in the summer while playing basketball. I gave it some time to heal but I kept hurting the same ankle over and over, so I asked my friend if I could try his Ace ankle wrap. I used it a few times and I found that it really hurt my foot after around 10 min of use, even when I'm just walking around. So I bought the McDavid ultralight ankle brace. The name says it all- it IS amazingly lightweight and provides very good support and have saved my ankle more than once so far. The two straps that go under and around the arc of the foot feel slightly flimsy because the fabric used for the straps is so thin. The brace is easy to put on, but taking it off can be a hassle because you have to loosen everything again, and it gets annoying sometimes. If you don't use it with long socks, the brace can scrape some of the skin off your ankle or cause blisters to form during heavy and extended use. Other than that, it's a great ankle brace that will fit almost all... Read more
