    I had a severe injury to my heel years ago from a car accident. My doctors did all they could do with the pieces of bone that were left and reinforced all they could.
    Over the past couple years, my heel and ankle have been getting quite arthritic I guess, as the doctor had expected all along. I especially have problems after a long hard day on my feet, such as hiking and fishing for example.
    I've tried some of the cheaper braces, but have had very little satisfaction and felt I just wasted my money with those "neoprene socks."
    One day I was really feeling the pain and discomfort and I finally broke down and decided to try this higher dollar brace. And so far, it's been the best money I've spent in recent years. Heck, I can even mow the yard again and practically forget I have it on.
    Now that a month has past, I've gotten even a newer system down pat. After a hard day on my feet, knowing that the next day will be hard to walk, I just put this brace on in bed while I sleep and take it off in the morning, and I'm all fresh and ready for another tough day on my feet.
    It's great! I've got a whole new level of positive attitude again. I may even get back on the tennis court soon. How great of a feeling is that?

    I am a basketball player and had these as preventative ankle guards, while they were flexible for movement, they took about 10 minutes to put on because of all the lacing and unlacing. Also the velcro fell off after about 3 months of usage. This is a good ankle guard for day to day ankle relief but I would not recommend it for competitive athletes.

          The ankle brace that arrived was not the one in the online photo...and the one we were hunting for. It is a good brace. Very similar to what we thought we ordered..but not the right brace!! so..for now we will keep it because it does serve the same purpose.

              Comments about McDavid Ultralight Ankle Brace with Figure 8 Strap:

              The brace has a nice solid fit to it. One kind of nice feature to the brace is that it not only has the x-wrap straps that go under your foot between the ball and the heal, but it also has one more strap that wraps around your ankle to give extra support for lateral movement.

                well i play football basketball and run track. i use this brace for basketball and football on varsity and it works great,, i can easily put the brace on with my original shoe size and not having to get a bigger size. it fits feels and looks good it gives lots of support,, best idea ive had.

                  About 8 months ago I had a severe ankle sprain while playing basketball. A few weeks ago, I was playing softball and rolled that same ankle twice. I rested it for a week, and the swelling and bruising went away, but there was still a very slight pain. I purchased this brace to support it during my next game, and to help the ankle rolling to stop occurring. I was amazed at how good this worked. It stopped the ankle roll, I was able to run almost as hard as I did before the injury, and it gave me a confidence that I hadn't recently had. i would recommend this to anyone wanting a good ankle brace.

                    I rolled my ankle in a volleyball tournament over a weekend. I was limping for 4 days, extremely swollen and blue and purple. I had a vball tourney the next weekend and bought this 2 days before. I felt like I didn't have an injury. I still didn't have the power that I normally did, but I was not afraid of hurting myself further. I did great in the vball tourney and would suggest this product to anyone. I thought I was a rocketsoc fan, but I would wear this because it is less bulky and just as supportive.
