MARS WELLNESS Premium Air Gel Ankle Stirrup Brace - Ankle Brace Stabilizer With Air & Gel Cold Therapy - One Size Fits All

It was what I expected

This was recommended by my PT - much less bulky than the orthopedic boot, which went up to the knee, had a thick sole which made me lopsided, this is much lighter weight.

This brace visually appears to be a quality made brace you may get from an orthopedic facility. IT IS NOT! PLEASE look at the photo, when put on, your ankle has zero stability nor support. The straps are too high and the heel rest on the brace is almost see through fabric. Its obvious in the pic, keep shopping

The price is good. It works. I only used it for a day. I wish it could have been a little more stable, but with two Velcro straps did the job but it could be improved upon.

Having experienced numerous ankle sprains in my youth, I’ve worn air casts frequently and am very familiar with them. I purchased this one following a recent injury, but unfortunately, it pressed directly on my ankle joint, causing discomfort and irritation. It never felt quite right. It’s possible the issue was due to the specific location of my injury, but I was disappointed not to find the relief I’ve come to expect from an air cast.

I love this thing! I broke my ankle in 3 places and had to have surgery. The boot they gave me was THE WORST. I wore it as long as I could but had to find something different. This is amazing! I still put the boot on if I'm leaving the house and going into unfamiliar territory with lots of other people (danger zone!) but in my safe zones, this is all I need and it's awesome! The only uncomfortable thing is if you don't line up the velcro correctly, it can scratch - but you don't even notice it as long as it's lined up. I have one more week before I can start walking again. I will be using this for stability once I can walk and I am sure it will be just fine!

Received an air cast from the Orthopedic Doctor. The one I ordered from Amazon is the same quality as the one I received from the doctor. The Orthopedic Doctor even suggested I order it from Amazon because the price was so much more reasonable.

The gel packs lost all gel in top portion and most of the gel in one portion of the bottom after wearing for less than a month. I never put in refrigerator, only wore at room temperature. The brace did stabilize well, but could only wear with about 3 pairs of my shoes due to bulk.
