Ankle Support

......the sizing has nothing to do with shoe size, but is the circumference from around the back of your heel and over the top and widest part of the front of your ankle. The picture on the Size Chart is showing a yellow circle measuring the “Arch circumference”, which is NOT the same (and generally smaller) than the heel/ ankle circumference!I bought a pair exactly the same from a different company, which were dearer and did not have the bonus ankle strap. I’d ordered a Medium from them, as my heel/ ankle circumference is 12”/ 30cm and although they are a perfect fit, I felt I could do with slightly more compression to support my injured Achilles at present, during activity. I kept those Medium size, as they are seriously comfortable for when I need less support and have worn them overnight, with no negative effects on my circulation and no swelling.However, everyone’s anatomy is different and if you naturally have “thick” ankles or swollen feet, your fit will be different from mine. If you have “skinny” feet and ankles, you may be able to go down a size, if you fall into the mid/ lower end of “your size” on the size chart.This pair, a size Small, from Modetro Sports, is a perfect for that firmer support I need around my Achilles. They are just exactly the same fabric/ style as my other ones but as I said, cheaper and have the bonus ankle strap for extra support if required.The fabric is good quality and well made, has a decent stretch for putting on and taking off (I have arthritis in both thumbs), a medium thickness and nice and soft against the skin.My two pairs in two sizes, gives me a choice of how much compression I need for whatever activity and it’s good to have that choice as feet and ankles can swell due to health problems, heat or being on your feet for long periods.If youThe ones from Modetro Sports are extremely good value and I would not hesitate in recommending them for recovery and rehabilitation after an Achilles injury, but please note that they are not a substitute for any rigid devices as prescribed by your Physio, which should be worn until you get the Okay 👍

Good product, and don't cut into your ankle.Great support but if you're wearing boots or shoes, the item is thick and supportive so you may need slightly larger fit in footwear

As I tend to suffer from pain on the Achilles’ tendon during exercise, I bought these for some added support and to avoid any serious injury. The ankle brace is worn over the foot and on my size 8 feet the medium size fitted snuggly and provided a good circulation at the same time.Having used these for a few weeks now I have noticed that my Achilles feels less sore after exercise and recovers a lot quickly than before. I’ll there continue using these and as such would recommend them to others who may be looking for some additional ankle support.*** Please could you click Yes if my review has helped you in any way ***

These ankle/achilles support socks are very helpful. After a small tear in my lower achilles tendon, I was able to walk about with the aid of these support socks. I now wear them on both feet every time I do walking or cycling as they give good support and added strength to my lower limbs.

This ankle support is very comfortable and does what it says, it provides effective ankle support. I bought this item to give me additional compression support when I play field hockey. I have also wore these last weekend when I did a 16 km hike in the Lake District Ullswater Valley including the Helvellyn from Glenridding round (Striding Edge) rock climb. Great value for money!

Well made and if it had fitted I would have been pleased. Women's UK Size 5 shoe but this was too small.

Needed support for sore achilles tendon. This works well providing I pull it up high enough. I was finding that sometimes my ankle hurt more with the support than without but that as soon as I pulled it higher it was immediately better. A very small adjustment seems to make a big difference. I'm hoping that the support plus the enforced rest will help to heal this injury which has been bugging me for months.There were no instructions on which way to put the support on but the shape of it seemed to indicate the position of the heel so I used common sense, hopefully correctly. Also it is quite hard to put on and take off because it is necessarily tight. The lack of guidance on how to use the support and the fact that it's not hard to get it wrong and make matters worse is the reason for docking one star in the rating.I measured round the point of the heel to the top of the foot and went with the recommended size. I've got wide feet and high arches but am happy with the fit.

As a long time sufferer of Achilles Tendonitis and spurs in each ankle I was faced with the prospect of surgery which would have meant 9 weeks none weight loading on each ankle with risk tendon would not reattach as strongly. My consultant suggested I first try ankle supports. Having seen this product the specification seemed perfect so ordered a pair over 6 months ago. What a difference they have made. I wear them each time I exercise which is playing golf 3 times a week, doing spinning classes 5 times a week and several long walks and suffer no post exercise pain whereas previously I could hardly walk next morning. They are comfortable to wear and fit snuggly under my socks. Just ordered extra pairs to allow time for washing. Also, recommended them to two friends who are suffering from Plantar Fasciitis. One point to note when ordering - although you state size it doesn't appear on the order confirmation so I followed up order with note to seller who responded very quickly confirming product size . A pity they are not also offered in white which would look better under my ankle golf socks as a couple of times golf starters accused me of wearing black socks which are not allowed. Hope this has helped and you get the same pain relief from this excellent and well priced product.

Good product and came in very quickly

I am surprised how good these are. They feel good on my feet and doing exactly what I want.
