Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Support Brace

I need to have good support for my ankle and am so glad I found this one!It is so easy to use and wear all day, being sturdy and flexible both. I just walknaturally, and it holds my ankle in line, flexes when taking a step and erases thepain. Easy to put on, easy to tighten or loosen as needed. And yes, it can be wornwearing a shoe.

I wear women’s size 6.5 shoe and am petite. The size small fits well. I bought it for 39.99+ tax. The urgent care center was selling the same exact one for $200. The PT advised me to buy it retail or online because insurance reimbursement was very iffy. I have a sprained ankle. I wrap my foot with the ace bandage from urgent care then put this air brace on. Seems to give more stability and ease the pain. I probably won’t wear it if I have to wear my tennis shoes. The plastic is too stiff and thick

The Air-Stirrup definitely provides stability and support for my sprained ankle. I am wearing it indoors as much as possible.I am editing this, because I previously wrote that it was impossible to get a shoe on when wearing the AirCast. We subsequently discovered that a small adjustment allows me to pull the cast up far enough that I can get my foot into a sneaker and even some sandals. Now that I've figured this out, I can wear it both inside and outside. I think it will be helpful on an upcoming trip.One "con" is that the instructions are written in a .5 size font, fine for teenagers, not so much for over-forties.For getting around the house for a few days until my ankle (I hope) improves, it's a good solution, and not terribly pricey.

It took me 2 days wearing it to get it adjusted just right. I couldn't find a thing about FIT ADJUSTMENT on the product website or even on Youtube, only instructions on how to put it on. Also, there was no clue as to how to determine what size to order. Sizes are the number of inches the brace extends up your calf. Just going by the pictures, I aimed for the top of my crew sock, which turned out to be a size Small, even though I have a wide shoe size and a large calf. As to adjustment, I found the trick is getting the bottom width adjustment wide enough that you don't actually feel the cast when you walk. At first there was a slight pressure on the inside of my heel that became very uncomfortable after awhile. A few test adjustments and voila'- comfort and a very effective product.

Arrived dirty and apparently had been used. There was hair and dirt in the velcro. Had to return

This brace worked well for some stability, but it was uncomfortable against the ankle bone and left a red mark. I found a different one with a cot out on the ankle bone, which was much more comfortable!

I torn my ATFL and the orthopedic podiatrist told me to specifically buy this product and wear it for 2 months ... combined with physical therapy. I had a different ankle brance and - oh my - I recognize the difference and the stability. I already feel the relief on my ankle. You MUST wear it with socks.

At first I wasn't impressed by the brace... But I kept playing with it to adjust the fit. Once I figured that out, I fell in love! It is better than any other splint/brace I tried. I actually have seen a HUGE difference when I wear it and when I don't. Walk great with it. Without it I get shooting pain with every step. It took a while to "figure out" the best way to wear it so don't give up. It's worth it!Cons- hard to fit at first. Doesn't fit in shoes as easily as advertised.Pros- WALK WITHOUT PAIN!!!
