This is an awesome brace!
This is an incredible ankle brace! It has more support than you can see! It comes with a compression sock, which feels amazing on my poor ankle. It doesn’t tie like bunny ears, it actually velcros – and the velcro is made of great quality. My ankle is swollen, so im pushing it- size wise it fits perfect, but swollen wise its just at the end. I had to velcro the one just at the tippy end- and it hasnt moved since. It still allows me range of motion, but gives wonderful support. It doesn’t feel like I’ve got anything on. Doesn’t look super bulky, and sneakers still fit over it. Functions as a strong, support.

Best ankle brace I’ve ever used.
I roll my ankle about once a year, unfortunately, so I’ve tried several ankle braces to deal with it. This is the best brace I’ve tried, by a long shot. The multi-stage system of first the laces (which are super easy to attach/detach due to the unique velcro design), then the wrap-around straps and verticle support, and finally the top closure to lock everything in place, makes for a very secure, tight fitting support system. This is a really well designed, comfortable, very supportive brace.

Great ankle support and high quality product
Great ankle foot support! I find it easy to use and the straps can give you the compression needed. Works well for ankle foot support after a foot injury transitioning from the orthopedic booth. Help with strong support band and may help as pain relief. It’s extremely adjustable, but my personal advice purchase a size bigger to make sure fits well. In my case, I purchased large size, i tried the brace on my left foot and was perfect. Unfortunately my injured foot ( right foot) is still inflamed and I had to purchase a larger size! Great for walking, working out , running

Runs a little small by their measurement recommendations but it is very supportive.
Runs a bit small for a swollen ankle. I would not recommend sizing only by the ankle measurement. The stretch ties do not reach as well as you’d think over your foot. If you think you need a medium by measurement, I would go to a large.As far as support goes, it can be made tight and plenty supportive. It will immobilize as much as you like. Mine feels too tight at the measured size though, barely keeping the Velcro overlapped. It holds really well though and the straps are all in the right spots. It will protect your ankle joint very well.

Impressive Support Right Out of the Box
From the moment I opened the package, I was impressed. The attention to detail—from the quality packaging to the helpful instruction video—made it clear this was a well-thought-out product. As soon as I put on the brace, I felt immediate support and relief. This was a great buy and absolutely worth leaving a review for. Highly recommend!

Supportive Ankle Brace
I have a partial tear in the tendon on the bottom of my foot-toes to ankle. Very painful! My podiatrist told me to get a brace for ankle & foot repair. I ordered this one from WHCOOL & I am so glad I did! The fit is perfect, the packaging was appealing & secure. It also included great instructions, easy to follow, & all the information you would need to get in touch with them if need be. I have not needed to do so! The brace is supportive & easy to apply. They even included an ankle sleeve for support following recovery. Very nice gesture! I also received an email today from WHCOOL explaining any possible scenarios & how to handle them, or to just get directly in touch with them for help! Wow! The real Old Fashioned Customer Service as it was back in my day! So very appreciated!THANK YOU WHCOOL for being such a conscientious Seller on Amazon & providing heartfelt follow-up! You are the best!!

Comfortable enough to wear all day
Much easier and more comfortable than the braces I received from ER (2 sprained ankles). At my follow up appointment with my doctor, she said these braces were better than the ones she had. I’m wearing compression socks under the braces and they do not have to be readjusted throughout the day. They keep my ankles pain-free and secure yet I can walk normally. As the swelling is going down, I can wear the braces with my normal shoes.

Awesome Ankle Brace
First let me say that the WHCOOL Customer Support Team goes above and beyond. I appreciate all they did to ensure I was satisfied with their product. They reached out after my purchase, quickly responded to my questions, and then sent a replacement which fits better.I have had a drop foot for over 20 yrs. Some years I was good and wore a leg brace (- cumbersome and required larger shoes to fit the bulky brace). Some years I went without a brace or any support (- which led to many stumbles and falls when my foot would snag and trip me up). I found that wearing hiking boots was a decent compromise but even that isn’t ideal year after year. I had tried an ankle brace in the past but it, too, was bulky in my shoe and only did a mediocre job of keeping my foot from dropping when I walked.What caught my eye with reviews for this brace was that it is thin enough to fit well into shoes. I agree. My foot slides into my normal shoe just fine while wearing the brace. And the brace provides LOTS of support. Ideally I want something that will keep my leg-foot in an L (- 90 degrees) position and keep my foot from dropping when I walk (- which is why hiking boots were a decent compromise.) This brace holds my foot and leg firmly yet comfortably … and I can wear it with my regular shoes. I like how easy it is to cinch the laces snug. And how firm and rigid it holds my ankle. Wins all around.For me this brace isn’t simply a short term solution for a sprained ankle (- which it would also be excellent for) but a long term solution for a permanent problem. So glad I found and purchased this brace.

This WHCOOL Ankle brace is sold as one unit, it arrived quickly and was nicely packaged. Upon taking it out of the box it immediately felt solid with its velcro straps, and the synthetic materials felt of high quality. I was able to undue the straps quite easily and slip it over my ankle for a nice and snug fit. The two inner laceless straps allow of easy adjustment while the two main straps lock into a figure 8 setup and provide a very nice fit to support my ankle on both the lateral and medial side. The lockdown under foot remained comfortable while wearing it for over two hours playing basketball. I’d highly recommend this ankle brace for its easy of use. Minimal break in time is required for it to conform to your foot. Overall it is a great product.

Multiple fastening points to support the ankle. The laces are attached to a Velcro strap for fast fitment. The Velcro for the rear of the foot is very strong. The strap around the ankle is also secure by very strong Velcro. In total there are 5 strapping connections to fasten in order to fit the ankle brace. But as all are Velcro fastened, it’s a quick process. It provides the most secure ankle support of any ankle brace I have used thus far. It also came with a free ankle sleeve in the package.

My angle has injury before and it is not totally recovered yet. So I ordered this angle brace to give it a try. Thanks for the size chart on the web page which tells me to measure my angle size first in a specific way. It shows that I should order the medium size. And it turns out to be a perfect fit. There is an instruction booklet which tells you how to wear this brace.When I open the package I feel that there are many straps involved but most of them use Velcro to tie it up and so it easy to set it up. This is why I call it innovative in design. It is amazing to me. There are lace like strings in the front which is elastic and you don’t need to tie it up. It enhances the looking of the brace too. And once I wear it I feel that my ankle has a good support.And I also receive a bonus of ankle sleeve which I show on my last picture. When my ankle recovers and need less support then I can just wear this sleeve instead of the original brace which I ordered.Overall I am happy with the quality of this ankle brace.

The WHCOOL Ankle Brace is a game-changer for anyone needing reliable ankle support without sacrificing comfort or mobility. The ergonomic support pads are a standout feature—they fit perfectly around the ankle, offering firm side-to-side support, which feels stable and protective.The quick Velcro lace-up design is a huge plus, as it’s much easier to put on compared to traditional lace-up braces. The Velcro fastenings secure the brace from two directions, providing balanced support without feeling too tight, and the wide opening makes it easy to slip on.Made with breathable “air fabric,” this brace kept my ankle cool and comfortable even during intense activity. The slim-fit design gives the right balance between stabilization and flexibility, while the figure-8 strapping holds the ankle firmly without restricting movement. It’s perfect for high-impact sports like basketball, soccer, and running.Finally, the soft comfort edge around the heel is a thoughtful addition, making it easy to wear with any kind of shoe. This brace is excellent for both men and women, whether for daily wear or athletic activities. Overall, it’s a well-designed ankle brace that combines stability, comfort, and ease of use—highly recommend it for anyone with an active lifestyle!
Let’s Review This –
This ankle brace is incredibly sturdy and well constructed. It is easily used and the fabric breathes making it a lot more comfortable to wear. I definitely recommend for anyone who needs extra stability. I really like that it’s pretty lightweight and isn’t bulky so it’s easily worn in a shoe.
