Neo-G Ankle Support for Kids – Child Ankle Brace for Strains, Sprains, Instability, Juvenile Arthritis - Kids Ankle Support for Gymnastics, Sports - Adjustable Compression - Class 1 Medical Device

Our daughter misstepped and probably overstretched her heel or ankle muscles too much - I'm not an expert in the field.. Moreover she couldn’t quite indicate what it was. After a week of limping, muttering and pain I ordered her this ankle support. However I forgot to inform my wife and by the time it arrived she already bought a similar support band from a high street sporting clothes discounter at a fraction of the price. And our daughter had already started to wear that one. We decided nevertheless to try and keep both. Also for likely future family incidents.The patient was impressed with both,. And she considered it very special that she could wear these to school and probably wallow in empathy. Initially this support band looked a bit more practical and sophisticated. But perhaps we put it on too tight. Moreover the open heel didn’t work well within her shoes. So after a few hours she switched back to the cheaper version and used that for the following days until her injury miraculously eased/cured.So this is an okay band and ankle suport. Its of good quality and should last for long. Its easy and swift to apply and the Velco system allows you to adjust and measure the pressure.But we found that there are good and cheaper alternatives outhere as well.

I bought this for my 7 year old son who has hypermobility and very poor ankle stability after he had strained the same ankle multiple times.My son has size 13 infant feet. The part he pops his foot into before strapping it horizontally around his tibia is snug. It fits fine BUT I think in a couple of years he probably won't be able to fit his foot through the gap.This is the only slight grumble I have with it and I'm stating his facts as when I was ordering this I couldn't find a reference to size or age.My son loves his support. He has worn it every day since it arrived and he says that his ankle still hurts but not as much. In my eyes that's a win. He's never going to be pain free but if it helps I'm happy. It provides him with firm structured support around the base of his foot and wrapping around the ankle. He struggles to fasten his Velcro school shoes but he's adapted and I'm sure if the support is going to continue to be a regular feature I will find some lace up shoes for him to solve that niggle.He's not had a twist of the ankle since wearing this support :) It's a lovely colour which blends into socks and clothing and it doesn't look 'medical' to other kids.All in all....I wish I'd of bought this sooner. Would of saved a lot of twists and pain for my son.

I have joint hypermobility syndrome but am sporting too and want to stay active, however, due to my condition I am prone to sprains/RSI/tendon and ligament damage due to overflexibility which causes a lot of pain. Using various supports helps me to keep active, which helps my condition. I've tried lots of different types of support over the years, but the NEO G ones are definitely the best. The extra bit of velcro means pressure can be put where it is needed (it changes on a daily basis for me), whilst the general design of the support means it will fit lots of different sizes. It is supportive, comfortable and fits in a shoe even when wearing socks too. As I'm small (5ft or 152cm) I went for the paediatric version which fits brilliantly. I've already recommended these (both the ankle support and wrist supports) to others. Using this ankle support I'm able to keep on hillwalking, climbing and mountaineering with far fewer injuries, as well as just getting around. My only concern is that the stitching is starting to come apart on one of the wrist supports, but I have been wearing it a lot whilst climbing!

My son (aged nine, size 3 shoe) was caught by a nasty tackle playing competitive U10 football which resulted in a slight tear to a ligament near the ankle / top of foot (inferior extensor retinaculum). A paediatric support was recommended by the A&E consultant who saw us suggesting that it would provide physiological support through his recuperation (six weeks) and once he got back on to the pitch. The support came well packaged with clear (albeit diagrammatic) instructions on how to put it on and contrary to other reviews; it is not that much of a challenge: my son is able to put it on and take it off himself easily. We have had to loosen his boot laces so that he can get his foot in there with the extra bulk, but the ankle support is really only slightly thicker than the ankle protector that was attached to his shin pad previously. It is made of a high quality washable material with elastic stretch for the top of the foot with a strong elasticated band which wraps in a figure of eight before attaching with (very strong carpet stripping!) velcro. The support is being well used; giving him both physiological support and psychological confidence on the pitch and he is back to his usual midfield general ways.

Perfect must have for ankle injuries

These are very good quality and I am sure they will offer great support for some people. They weren't for me and that's fine. Or it would be if I could return them. Amazing refuse to allow me to return them. It does not mention this when ordering which is a bit sneaky, particularly as they are quite expensive. I have tried to chat online but they refuse to help. I contacted the company who make them and they said that they can't be returned by the automated way as usual but if you chat to them online they should sort it out. I tried to chat again and they refuse to allow me to return them.So I am currently 32 quid down with ankle supports that don't work for me and am being treated appallingly by Amazon, who I shop with a lot.So, good quality product but don't buy it from Amazon unless you can afford to lose your money if they don't work for you.

Very good quality. Perfect fit for my 8 year old son.
