Norma: me ayudo mucho

M Yeung: I broke my ankle and need something to stabilize my ankle. This offers me psychological support more than physical support. I still have to wrap my ankle before putting this on before I feel the support on my ankle.
And the same product comes in 2 vastly different prices. I got one of which not realizing they are the same product. It is easy to apply and I can put on my shoes once I loosen my shoe laces.

Alan from Oregon: This item seems well made, is light weight and comfortable to wear and provides light to moderate support. It is also thin enough that it fits in shoes and boots. It is cool enough for me to wear all day... some people who are sensitive to that kind of thing may feel otherwise. Remember, neoprene will not be as cool as fabric, but heat retention can also be therapeutic.

The product was NOT designed for maximum stability support, but it does provide about the level of support of ankle taping, but it is more comfortable than taping.

In short, this product does what it was designed to do at a good price. I recommend this production.

Adrian E.: La tobillera te ayuda con la estabilidad del tobillo, la compré para el gimnasio, ya que me estoy recuperando de una fractura de tobillo y me brinda estabilidad y confianza para realizar los ejercicios sin temor a esguinces.
Los velcros son de mediana calidad, tal vez en unos meses ya no sirvan
Por el precio creo que es calidad media, esperaba algo de mayor durabilidad.

lyndy: This ankle strap is very much cheaper than my usual Elastoplast ankle strap which I always buy. So I was concerned just how strong it was going to be, I needn't have worried because it seems exactly the same. I will be buying from this seller again. Very impressed. I have a pronate ankle this strap really helps with my condition .

Jennifer Crochet: At 38 I have a very active job as a Personal Trainer. I work with clients if ALL health and fitness levels and have specialties in working with clients that have extreme limitations, Sports Performance and injury management/recovery. Aside from my job I am also the mom of a competitive gymnast and the strength and conditioning, injury management and prevention coach for her team. When working with gymnasts and other athletes as often as I do, as you can imagine I see A LOT of rolled ankles, sprained and/or broken. This support wrap/brace is hands down one of my FAVORITE tools in my kit!! I refer ALL of my clients with ankle stability issues to use this product! I love that it is adjustable to size and tension in order to control the level of support needed. It is also ambidextrous, so I don’t have to worry about telling them to make sure they order for the right or left foot. Back in December of 2015 I broke my right ankle for the 3rd time in my life by rolling it. To this day I still use my ankle wrap for certain activities and my 9 year old just borrowed one of my wraps, as I have at least 3 on hand at all times, when she rolled her ankle at gym 2 weeks ago. I use it when I am...

Daniel Castañon: Debí editar esto hace meses. Me acostumbré a la tobillera, todos estos meses me ha sido de mucha ayuda y ha evitado en repetidas ocasiones que me vuelva a esguinsar. La tobillera después de unos días de uso se adaptó a mi anatomía y me brindó el soporte deseado. La sensación de que me quedaba grande paso después de aproximadamente 2 semanas.

En cuanto a la talla, me permito explicar un poco:

Según la talla mexicana, mi calzado es del número 27.5 (26.5 cm longitud del pie) y en algunos calzados del número 28 (27 cm de longitud del pie), por lo que me queda bien.

Lo bueno: La tobillera no lastima, las varillas laterales son cómodas y me hacen sentir un poco de soporte al caminar principalmente para tener la confianza de que no se doble mi tobillo y quede estable. También pude meterla con el calzado problema alguno. Los materiales parecen de buena calidad.

Lo malo: Sigo insistiendo en lo de apretar mucho las tiras con velcro, sin embargo si proporcionan soporte y estabilidad.

Puedo concluir:
- Los materiales son de calidad
- Las varillas laterales no lastiman
- Estabilidad y soporte: leve o bajo
- Puedes usarla todo el día...

J/L Heath: I like that this is very lightweight, once you get used to it quick and easy to put on, and can go under socks (or over). Depending on how my ankle feels that day, it either works very well, or pretty well. I've tried many varieties of these, and this ranks up pretty high. I like the opening as a clear place for your ankle. Far better quality than the tan figure 8's, probably not quite as durable as the neoprene (which doesn't work for me anyway), but seems like it will last a good while (unlike the tan ones).

Dr. Donovan: I completely tore my deltoid ligament decades ago and have lived with growing discomfort and distortion in my ankle ever since. Orthopedic surgeons have told me there is nothing they can do, so I've learned to tolerate it. Podiatrists have given me orthotics and exercises, and those helped but seemed merely to delay the progression. As discomfort gave way to pain, I regularly used compression bandages which helped some, but still steadily needed Ibuprofen more and more frequently. A physical therapist once gasped when she saw how large and misshapen my malleoli are.

Then I found this on Amazon and tried it. After a month of using it, the pain was gone. After another month, even the discomfort is mostly absent and the alignment of my tibia and talus bones have improved. My podiatrist was impressed.

One thing, though, is that I use it in the reverse position of the way it is shown. It's usual use it to prevent inversion sprains, so it's shown looped around the inside of the heel to hold it out. Since my problem is the reverse, I loo[ it around the outside to hold the heel in. I can't speak to its effectiveness for inversion sprains, but to counteract the damage done by...

Cris In Miami: I recently had an ankle strain, so I needed some support to help it heal. The classic method of the elastic bandages was getting a bit tiresome because of the time it took to put them on and off each time, plus the constant maintenance. To my surprise, I discovered this "Futuro" line of support systems from 3M, and it looked tempting enough to give it a try.

However, l was a bit confused when it came down to pick the product, as just for ankles only, I found there were four different variations of Futuro options. So, I decided to go the guinea-pig way with it, and get and try the four of them.

After wearing and using them each of them for several days, I came to the following conclusions from my experience:

All of them do a great job at what they're supposed to do, and provide really good support, acting as a real complement to the tendons/ligaments that might be inured, so relieving them from having to carry with all the force as you need to move.

Also, the four of them live up to the expectation of the legacy of the 3M brand, and their respective velcro-based sticking/binding components fasten the wraps with flying colors and the pieces remain in...
