AIRCAST A60 Ankle Support Brace, Left Foot, Black, Medium (Shoe Size: Men's 7.5-11.5 / Women's 9-13)

The Aircast A60 has reduced the pain in my ankle and provides the support I need for walking. Despite the arthritis, bone spur, and bone on bone misalignment of my ankle the Aircast A60 is allowing me to delay or hopefully obviate the need for surgery. I did have some pain from the rigid piece in the back of the ankle support, but added a piece of moleskin which eliminated the issue. Also, once cold weather arrives I will wear thin socks or a light compression sock underneath and that will also help. I really like that this is waterproof and I'll be able to wear it in the pool this summer. Currently, I wore it with slide sandals and that was comfortable, and it is thin enough that I should be able to wear it with athletic sneakers or clogs.

This is one of those easy purchases that you almost completely forget about, because it's so trouble free. But the real value is in the wearing. I had sprained my ankle pretty badly playing soccer and was almost reluctant to get back out on the pitch. The AirCast A60 was recommended to me by my physical therapist. I ordered it from Amazon just two days prior to game day, and it arrived in time. I took it out of the box on my way to field and put it on just before the match started. It went on easily, but did make my boot feel a bit snug. I instantly felt the extra support that my freshly recovered ankle needed. Just a minute into the match I found myself running full tilt, and realized how well it was doing its job. This brace is so light that I only knew that I had it on because I was conscious that it gave me as much moral support as ankle support. After a couple of weeks back on the team I'm considering not wearing it anymore because my ankle is feeling pretty good. But, this brace is so unobtrusive, I think I'll keep the moral support for another week or two. I certainly recommend the AirCast A60 as a great buy.

I was truly excited to receive this brace, especially after reading the fantastic reviews. I expected it to outperform the lace-up brace prescribed by my doctor. Unfortunately, I ended up purchasing it twice; the first one in my size was too small to fit my foot. The second one was a size up, and while I managed to get my foot in, I experienced significant pain from the side braces when I tried to walk. I attempted to adjust the braces, but that didn’t help. I also tried adding extra padding between my ankle and the brace, but it kept shifting with each step, which was equally painful. I’m sure it will work for some people, but for me it didn’t and now I’m on the hunt for a brace that won’t hurt me when I walk. My wish is that the stiff braces on the sides could be adjusted to my ankle and that it would be easier to get on and off.

After dealing with an old ankle injury for years, sprains have unfortunately become a pretty common occurrence for me. I’ve tried a handful of braces over time, but the Aircast A60 has stood out—especially compared to the previous model I used. The brace is surprisingly comfortable, even when worn for long stretches of the day. It offers a secure, stable fit without feeling bulky or restrictive, which is something I really appreciate when I’m trying to stay active without aggravating my ankle. Most importantly, the A60 provides solid protection and support whether I’m dealing with a fresh sprain or just some lingering bruising. It keeps my ankle aligned, reduces the risk of rolling it again, and gives me the confidence to move around without constantly worrying about reinjury. Overall, it’s a reliable, well‑designed brace that does exactly what it promises.

We wear size 6 shoe and bought small. It appears to be ok and maybe a tad tight in the toe area. We are not sure going to the medium would prove too large. Seems to hold the ankle well enough with the metal supports on both sides. The Velcro is quite strong and holds securely. We bought due to 2 severe sprains on the same ankle and now surgery on the same ankle for nerve damage. We feel the metal bracing will help from rolling this weak same ankle.

I received this brace yesterday. I have a history of spraining my left ankle from volleyball years ago. Unfortunately, I completely rolled my ankle taking my dogs for a walk with a loud pop. I am a Physical therapist. I wanted to protect my ankle initially. So, I started in the stirrup Aircast, but felt ready to transition to a brace that I could wear without shoes for my martial arts class. I was looking for good support laterally with good comfort and ability to flex the foot, and not require shoes. I have used laced up type braces in the past with the plastic stays, which work, but they are a little bulky still. I used an Active Ankle when I used to play volleyball and LOVE it, but it requires a shoe. I love the design of this brace. However, I rated it as three stars because the fit is not good. I was worried about ordering a brace based on shoe size rather then ankle size. But I went ahead anyway and ordered the brace, because it looked like it could work well if the fit was good. I wear a women's 9.5 to 10 shoe size and sizing of this brace is based on shoe size. The brace feels too big and the bars seem too wide at the ankle. Based on my shoe size, I ordered a size medium form their chart. However, I feel like the small would work better, but I don't have it to try. I would like to have the smaller size to see how well this brace would work, because the design seems good.

This product really helped keep my weak ankle stable whike trail running!

I bought this for a teen basketball player who sprained his ankle during a game. The brace advertisement says it offers light support. It goes on easily over the foot and secures around ankle with a Velcro strap easily. It has semi rigid sides to help support the ankle and keep it from rolling. After a period of rest, treatment, and exercises to strengthen his ankle, the teen was able to comfortably resume playing basketball while wearing this brace. It goes on over a sock and will fit inside a sneaker. It’s also washable. Perfect for an active athlete who doesn’t want to fuss with a lot of tape or bandages but needs the support. Great product.

Extremely effective and comfortable. Wearing a shoe over it is very easy. But, surprisingly difficult to obtain a brace for the "left foot". The entire website contained the brace for the "right foot" only. Took me a week of searching before i got lucky.

O Air cast ficou apertado no meu pé. Gostaria de trocar pelo tamanho G. Mas consta que o produto não está elegível para troca. Então vou ficar no prejuízo?

Ich brauche die Bandage beim Tennisspielen weil nach einem Sturz die Bänder am Fussgelenk überdehnt sind. Die Bandage tut was sie soll. Am Anfang drückt sie hin und wieder und ich muss sie erst "zurechtruckeln", aber das funktioniert. Leider scheuert sich der Stoff über den seitlichen Federn sehr schnell auf, so dass man bald (nach ca. 6 Monaten) eine neue braucht, ehe die alte vollkommen auseinanderfällt.

If you have a weak ankle or pronation, these are perfect for stabilising. Well made though they will wear out usually after 6 months of daily wear. New ones take about a week to break in.

Prescribed by an orthopedic doc, bought it for my mother who has obesity and arthristis issues... to help her deal with arthritis related ankle pain. Had initially bought only for right foot as the pain was primarily in right foot. My mother stopped using it coz it was uneven and she felt discomfort while walking as it wouldn't fit in her orthopedic footwear. Thought it is just another fancy but useless product. But then, watching her deal with her pain compelled me to try out different things. One of those things was to buy the left brace as well. After buying the left foot brace and changing the ortho-footwear, I forced her to try it out again. It came as a pleasant surprise... she wouldn't take it off. Earlier she had trouble walking distance of more than 50m. Now she wears it over 6 - 8 hours in a day and walks around quite a bit. Has helped immensely. She is elderly and needs help to wear it. But this is quite easy to wear. She wears it herself at times when I'm not around because of my travel. Product quality is pretty good too. Would recommend it. A bit pricey, but worth it. Have not taken a pic of it yet while in use. Will upload it when I do.
