Aircast Air-Stirrup Ankle Support Brace

I recently fell on ice and broke my fibula...I knew I'd be in one of these once I was out of the hard cast and boot (I'd broken my other fibula several years ago), so I went ahead and ordered it. So glad I did! The same one from the ortho doctor was $125 (my insurance has a deductible on DME)! Anyway, this is working perfectly. For those that say you can "never get it to fit correctly" - you have to remember that the part that goes under your foot is adjustable. Once you get that right, it will be comfortable and supported. I love that it can also be chilled in the fridge or freezer to deal with any swelling. This would be excellent for treating a sprain. It fits in to both my hiking shoes and my sneakers....it will stretch them out eventually, so I purchased an extra pair of sneakers so I don't stretch out my good ones. This thing is a real ankle saver!

Husband has an old injury, provides needed support. Recommended by Physical Therapist

Very successful in eliminating pain when hiking. We Highly recommend this product.

Recommend by my orthopedic doctor Very light and comfortable convenient Only one thing is that mind did not have foot print that gives direction of front or back So I was kinda struggling a bit And a little hard to clean this thing Gets reallt dirty on the bottom after you walk around with sandals or slippers outside But it kept my foot L shape that healing faster and I could walk in Sequoia National park to see the biggest sherman oak lol only after 7 days from I sprained my ankle It’s light and whole a lot better than real cast You can take a shower, easily put it back on Highly recommended

Unfortunately, the item arrived dirty and was smaller than expected.

I used this ankle brace when I fractured my left ankle. It is very sturdy yet not bulky. I could sleep in it, use it during the day for walking. It fit into my shoe nicely. My ankle healed quickly I think due in part to wearing this brace daily and nightly.

I fracture my ankle. My doctor wanted me to sleep in an ortho boot but it was too uncomfortable. But I also couldn't sleep without some kind of brace due to pain in my ankle. This brace is much more comfortable to sleep in or even just wear around the house to take a break from my ortho boot. I love it because it's more comfortable than my boot. However, I also get frustrated with the brace. The position can easily shift forward or backward causing the plastic to painfully press on the sides of my ankles. The comfort is also very dependent on how the straps are positioned and tightened. Sometimes it feels great with good position, and good stability of the position. Other times it's very painful or it shifts around too easily into painful positions. I spend a lot of time unstrapping and restrapping to try to get it in an optimal position - not too loose, not too tight, perfectly positioned fore and aft.

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

This was recommended to me by my physio following rolling my ankle causing a hairline fracture and a particularly bad sprain. As part of my job I go over fields and uneven terrain. I needed to get back to work before it was fully healed so I've used this for stabilisation. It still allows the forward and backward flexing of my foot, but prevents the sideways rolling I'm now prone to until my ankle is fully healed. It's also adjustable to suit different widths of feet and the air pockets are also adjustable, allowing air to the increased or deceased. I've worn this with trainers for gym work and boots for work with no issues.

It’s easy to use and perfect for immobilizing the ankle. The glue used inside for sticking the soft pad to the plastic brace is not great. Came off in a week. But I could stick the pad with a double sided tape.

Das Band, dass unter den Fuß kommt, hielt nach 2 Tagen bereits nicht mehr und rutschte vom Klett. Support beim Verkäufer leider sehr träge und nicht hilfreich.
