Has anyone used the ASO ankle brace in non-atheletic shoes (i.e. converse sneakers, women's flats etc)? Can it fit in other shoe types?

My daughter sometimes put ugg boots on with it before going to s game . She has not worn it with converse nor flats .

It fits in some of my non-athletic shoes. Shoes that can expand a little, Mary janes, Birkenstocks, vans. Does not fit into dressy boots or pumps.

Yes I use it in all my shoes and boots. I have used these braces for several years. This is the third and least expensive.

I had to wear my braces for almost six months and I wore these in business flats, fashion sneakers, etc. As long as the shoe has a little give, you should be fine but for a couple of the dress shoes, I wound up buying wide foot sizes to accommodate the brace. With only two pairs of shoes, once I was no longer wearing the brace, while the shoe still fit, they had stretched enough that I wasn't comfortable wearing them anymore.

I used in Nike Air work shoes, and it worked great. I would suggest two pair of socks for padding.

yes, you can. We bought the ankle braces for my daughter and she wears them for all her volleyball practices and games.

Hello there... well the ankle supports come in S, M and L sizes I believe... the thing is that I'm a skinny dude so the M fit pretty well on my foot and ankle... but on top are kind of loose... so If you're not skinny it shall fit good...cheers!

Matthew - the size chart at Active Ankle states you would use a Medium. http://www.activeankle.com/images/stories/rigids_sizingchart/SizingChart_t1.jpg The bottom of the brace is plastic and quite slick on the floor. I always wear my shoe with it. Maybe in the sand it wouldn't be too bad as far being slick of course, but still not sure it would be comfortable.

I am not sure if it works as well as it is with underpronation. It might needs to have shoes with full support of the ankle. I use it a lot because of my foot injury history from sport incidents while I was playing sports. I have a normal arch with no over/underpronation. The reason I am using it is to help my heel / medial / lateral longtiudinal arch to reduce pain instead of having foot surgery. I wear them since 10 years ago as it works well for me. I do not know what is about underpronation people have if the Powerstep products will work as well as for them.

I haven't worn mine for a while, but when I was wearing it, I always wore sandals (flip-flops, or what we called zories when I was growing up). I don't think you would be able to wear a conventional shoe while wearing this splint.

I had achilles tendon surgery and wore this to help with edema (which it did. now I don't need any brace at all) so my shoes were all mules without backs. To me, wearing this brace along with the heel pads that come with it for both shoes, is nothing short of a miracle. Good luck.

Hey there....i cannot answer your question from personal experience but when i was doing my initial research about ways to reenter sports and gymnastics with a sprained ankle.....they all said that they were able to reenter these activities with a lace up brace..which is how i came upon this product...hope this helps....

I'll measure the height for you tonight, but i did not have problem with shoes not fitting in: flats, 2.5" wedges, ankle booties. Just have reasonable expectations - anything higher than ankle booties won't fit. The bench looks great, has solid build, and fits nice amount of shoes: I have 4-5 pairs on each shelf and on the floor under the bottom shelf (total of 12-15 pairs).

Yes, it is very bulky and requires a loose fitting shoe. I never got use to the bulk and awkwardness of the brace and returned it the seller. There is no way that you could wear it with high heels or sandals.

It depends on your shoes. I have found that they are too tight on my weightlifting shoes(very flat shoes, I am referring to the New Balance mx20v3.) So I dont use them. But they are fine on my asics crosstrainers.(larger shoes gel 180 TR) I also like to keep my feet tight on my shoes so depends on your fit. Hope it helps

Yes. These were the brand suggested by my daughter's Physical Therapist to better align her low arches and hip/leg position. We brought the inserts to a therapy session at the PT's request. She cut them in a way maintained the arch support in the proper place, that is she took some off the front as well as the heel to make sure the arch support stayed under the arch of the foot. We purchased one pair for street shoes and one for her soccer cleats that can get real dirty and smelly if need be.

Definitely for regular shoes. I found that some shoes had a heel well that was even too wide for them and they just slid around a lot. Some tape fixed that but it was an obnoxious fix. In the end, I just ended up buying a full insole piece. They worked much better.

I dont know what type of shoes you have but yes. I have a bunion and I can wear my brand new shoes now. BUT-I stretched them for several weeks! I kept turning the shoe horn and I would leave the shoes to stretch. If after a few days I could turn it I did. So my answer is yes, but if you want it quick and in a hurry, I dont think it will work.

Good questions! I don't see why you couldn't use them with a speciallised. As far as the shoes any will do, no special shoe needed. Hope this helps, happy riding!

I have found that it varies with the shoe. You would have to try it both ways. The Pedag inserts have brought me relief.

look on better braces .com click on size chart the brace is adjustable n not sized by shoe size more by the lengh and size of your leg you require support. I have a size 11 shoe and use a large but its more about how far you want the brace to go up your leg for the ankle support.
