I'm 60 F with bad joints and especially my ankles have been aching badly just from walking around the house. Using moon boots and other rather bulky supports I have been able to keep walking. Wrapping ace bandages on my ankles/feet was a solution but way too time consuming and due to my other health problems not feasible. I was getting pretty desperate when the DR's eyes were gleeming as he told me that the only help would come from fusing my ankles surgically.
After that shock I thought of trying some more practical ankle supports. These Futuro Ankle supports are the best!! Better than what I was hoping for. I have tried sock like elastic supports and also Full90 Performance Soccer Right Ankle Support from Amazon which I am shipping back because they were uncomfortable and extremely difficult to put on and take off. Those supports have a tight cuff that you have to slip your foot thru and then there is only one strap coming from under the foot to adjust the support - definitely not anything to help my foot/ankle problem.
These Futuro supports are 100 % fantastic and on the first day I went out shopping and spent a good part of 4 hrs on my feet. Instead of extreme pain for the night and rest for the next 2 days I was just fine. No swelling, no pain, and in the morning is was able to wiggle my ankles in bed without pain.
I needed support to keep my foot together - (I have high arches and my ankles feel like they are falling apart with my leg falling thru) - and to keep my ankles from rotating due to prior injuries/surgeries. These supports do just that in the most comfortable way and without any rubbing or other problems.
I wore them on bare feet with sandals. They felt a little warm around the ankle but not to a point of getting sweaty.
They are easy to slip on and very easy to adjust the two elastic straps coming from under the arch for a perfect custom fit around the ankle. I was able to leave the cuff fairly loose so the only sensation of pressure came from under my foot. The elastic is very comfortable under the foot and I could not feel the edges at all like I did with all ACE type support.
I have a large frame, 180 lbs, and a size 9 W foot with permanently swollen ankles and these fit just great. They did not create any swelling of the foot or leg which I was worried about - I guess because the strap around the ankle does not have to be tight. Just snug. They look like they are well made and I would guess they will last for a few months. THANK YOU Futuro and Amazon I am walking again!! I could not be happier with a product!Get more detail about Futuro Sport Deluxe Ankle Stabilizer, One Size Adjustable (Pack of 2).
