Bauerfeind - MalleoTrain Plus - Ankle Brace - Extra Stability for the Ankle Joints and Tendons - Right Foot - Size 4 - Color Titanium

The malleo ankle brace was recommended by my surgeon when I continued to have pain and swelling from the average ankle lace up brace.First, some background to give you a better judgment if this may work for you. I had a tendon repair (ankle), tarsal osteotomy, and calcaneous osteotomy.Pros: As stated in the description, this brace fits into a tennis shoe, which was huge for me as I went back to work as a nurse. Previously I was wearing Hey Dudes with the foot swelling and a lace up brace, because lace brace wouldn't fit into anything! So a brace plus a tennis shoe plus better ankle support..heck yes!The brace has bulk like pads around ankle that claims to message as you walk (now I can't feel that, but I'm sure it works.) (You see my foot is still tremendously swollen 5 months after surgery.) What I do know, is that it feels 110% better than a lace up brace!!My ankle does seem to be a little less swollen at the end of the shift when I use this brace. Now I follow up with an incrediwear ankle sleeve at night (yes a different brand, and different ankle product, but it tremendously reduces my swelling).Cons: Manufacturer recommends this brace to be on bare skin and after being on a 10 hr shift, honey your foot is going to stink! The first 2 weeks back at work, I tried it on bare skin and then wore a very thin high heel sock over it (still major stink)(and my feet don't even sweat that bad nor stink). Week 3, I tried the high heel sock on first then put brace on top of it, since my main function for this brace was ANKLE stability and comfort, and that little sock barely came above my metatarsal and heel areas.(seemed to diminished sweat and stink a little).I wash this brace on gentle cycle without fabric softer once a week, and it DOES hold up well, but it still stinks, and stains don't come out of it. Then I air dry it.The price point of this brace is high.I can tell a major difference in support and comfort on days and times I wear the brace vs when I don't. Overall, I would buy again, I just wish the manufacturer would consider price for people who have had surgery are out of work for months and at this price point, it's a major budget hitter.

Good value on sale. Surprisingly comfortable, reasonbly restrictive tho a bit bulky...no surprise there--the crossing fabric is lightweight but takes up space. Would definitely buy again if needed.

It's $4 temu trash. Unbelievable price for this horrible product. You'll get better support with a compression sock, a quality ace bandage and watching a DIY video on how to wrap your ankle. Save yourself the money.

Passt prima und ist eine sehr gute Qualität.

Great company $$ but worth it any kind of support I need i get from this company
