POWERLIX Legs Orthopedic Brace Compression Support Sleeve (Pair) for Swelling, Sprain, Plantar Fasciitis, Arthritis, Tendinitis

I am a size 12 extra wide men's foot = extra large size PowerLix Ankle Brace Compression Support Sleeve. I ordered both a Large size and an Extra Large size. Comes with a pair of them to each box. The Extra large was really tight and all at first but loosened up perfectly for my ankle, still using the first extra large a month later. I tired the large size on, not much smaller than the extra large but absolutely tighter, way tighter, too tight for my feet. So I gave those away to another in need.This PowerLix Ankle Brace Compression Support Sleeve solves much of my severely swollen ankle quickly (but sadly not permanently) due to a very serious motor vehicle collision. At least I found a way to greatly reduce ankle swelling. And all while most doctors don't have a clue or don't give a damn. Whatever!Only this ankle compression sleeve reduces significantly and efficiently both my injured ankle swelling and the associated calf swelling too, when/if it's allowed to get that bad by walking or standing too much for a chronically injured ankle of mine.The compression sock that my primary care provider advised cannot and didn't do what this higher quality ankle compression sleeve does. This thing is a real winner for swelling and it solves the out of control swelling of the ankle, and my associated calf swelling because of the ankle swelling.As for "an ankle brace"? It's not a good replacement for any brace or boot/cast. But if you have swelling it will help there a lot, or did for me, and yea it does offer a bit of support and comfort for a very tender foot when wearing it so it helps there a bit too, as a somewhat lame brace of sorts.But realize it wont give enough "support" for a unstable ankles, or at least not for my seriously unstable ankle that is much more at home in the boot/cast where I clamp down so that the ankle is fully supported and guarded from twists and torques of the ankle. Only a boot/cast or ankle brace can suffice for that.THIS IS THE ONE TO TRY and the quality is top notch just like they advertize!

The media could not be loaded. I bought 3 different brands of these kinds of ankle socks and this one is definitely more high quality that provides the most pressure.I like that the heel isn't cut out like the others I bought are, which makes this one more comfortable and the pressure is more consistent.I wear this ankle brace because of nerve damage in my ankle that I got from a botched varicose vein operation. Having the pressure on my ankle minimizes the pain and also helps my veins, which have "leaky valves."I wear these underneath socks or with flip flops every day.I bought both this in both Small and Medium and shot a video to show how the Small is a better fit for me. I have average sized ankles for a woman.

Good fit good quality and prompt delivery. Provide solid ankle and Achilles support at the gym.Update- 4/29/17- Now that I had a chance to wear it for 5 consecutive days, I can no longer give this product 5 stars. I bought 2 pairs so I was able to wear a fresh one to the gym every day while the other is being air dry after hand washing. Have to take away 4 stars from the original 5 because I simply cannot wear this more than an hour without feeling much pain around my insteps for both feet (my left foot is suffering from Achilles tendonitis.) it gives good Achilles support but places too much pressure on the insteps as one can see the very deep indentation marks left by the elastic material. Foot circumference was measured to be 12.25" for both feet so size medium was ordered.Update: Seller was great to work with. Since I already washed the 2 pairs I bought, they cannot be return for a replacement. Seller send me a free one ( large size ) for better fit and comfort. Sure enough, this new pair is like night and day. I can wear it for 2 hours at the gym with great support and no discomfort. I am revising my rating to 4 stars. Might even up to 5 stars if the comfort holds up over time. I tried 3 other brands and none come close to quality, support and comfort comfort to PowerLix.

I bought a pair (blue) and liked them so well, I bought another pair (beige). Both colors look just as they do in the pictures. My ankles (and lower legs) are skinny and measure 12.5" around according to the chart, so I bought medium. The fit is perfect, not too tight or too loose, so I will say that the measuring chart is accurate. I broke both ankles a few years ago, about two inches higher than the ankle. And that is why I chose these, because they are not knee-highs and they are not as low as some of the others. The material is just right, a little more thick than thin. I wear them with flip-flops but they would easily fit into a pair of shoes. For me they are not loose around the tops and they don't fall down! These have been very helpful, and also comfortable, and so I'm thrilled that I picked just the right item!
