How does this compare with the standard mcdavid fully lace-up ankle brace?

The cross straps provide excellent support in comparison to standard lace up braces. I weigh 275 so stepping on someone's foot can put quite a bit of stress on my ankle. Standard lace up braces are good for some support but have never helped me much in injury prevention. Given I recently broke my ankle the additional straps were a must. Hope this helps

If you can, consult w/a doctor specific w/sport injuries or at least a physical therapist. I use this brace daily for bad knee joint. It's quite durable, though also too bulky to wear under some pants. As for hockey pads, you'll wanna hold out for someone's answer specific to that.

Actually, I have worn this exact brace with football cleats before, and I wear it in my basketball shoes when I go play basketball. Your shoe laces need to be loosened a bit, but it is a comfortable fit, not bulky at all.

If you google Active Ankle braces and go to their web site it will tell you what the sizes are and how the sizes are determined. Hope this helps.

I wore a tall lace up boot With an insole on the other foot. A tall lace up leather boot is in effect a modest ankle brace, so, this did three things. One, it equalized the height of both ankles at the heel. You can adjust the height by swapping insoles till its right. Second, the stiff tall boot on the good foot helped match the walking stride of the good leg to the injured one, eg. Restricted it a bit. Third, it gives you a pair of tall lace up boots to contineu wearing to protect your ankle in the contunuing healing process, which takes a year or two to get it right. I Wear a different shoe in a different style every day, going barefoot on Sunday. :) after church. This helps keep your mustles balanced and growing stronger. Its a process, all the best to ya.

It fit me perfectly, I am also a size 8 regular and had a double grade 3 sprain. My ankle was swollen to the size of a small mellon. It does give lots of support and it came up about 6 inches below the knee. It comes with extra padding I used when the swelling went down a bit. I was very pleased with the product and saved a lot of money. I hope this helped.

I have a girl with recurring ankle sprains who is very active in sports. Since she started wearing the brace during sports.....no more ankle sprains. She plays soccer , basketball, and softball, so there are a lot quick movements and pivots. Very happy. I also recommended this brace to a friend whose son had a prior ankle fracture and she has had similar success. Hope this helps.

I have one for my rt. knee while it gives the mental effect of stability I would be very careful torquing your foot as this is a much softer brace unlike the ones with sturdier metal supports. It advertises metal but feels very flimsy the three Velcro fasteners I like and very comfortable under pants or jeans but for athletic activity I would worry about it.

The advantage is that is very quick to put on. No real disadvantage - other than with lace up you could go tighter, however at that point you are cutting off some circulation to your foot. Save lots of time. I would say a little more comfortable.

The size chart is European; adapt your size to universal number. This support is EXCELLENT...can be chilled in frig which feels great on swollen ankles. Follow the mantra(rest) Ace. Ice, and Elevate

Hello Kristan, I'm 99 percent sure the difference is only the logo on the front. I have also purchased this item in Modells and never seen that logo. After going over the McDaivid webpage, I'm confident the construction and materials in that newer product are identical to the McDavid Calf Sleeve that I purchased and reviewed here on Amazon.

It is only one ankle brace. I had to buy 2 for my daughter because she needed one for each ankle

I wear 10 1/2 shoe and purchased a large. I think a better support is the McDavid ankle support with strap , it allows for adjustment.

I bought two sets for my daughter and son. They run pretty true on size. They are freaking awesome. Can't say enough about them. I did a lot of research and both my kids had pretty serious ankle injuries at the time. The braces helped them get back much sooner and my daughter started wearing them for all three of her sports, volleyball, basketball, and soccer.

Yes, there are several level 3 models of MCDAVID braces; I have three different models of braces level 3 from MCDAVID. This is the most fitting to me.

You need to check the Shock Doctor web page, which you can access through your browser of choice. Just click on the Ultra Gel Lace Ankle Support item, and you will find what you need. For me, my foot is narrow. So I went with a smaller size than recommended, to avoid too much of an "overlap" when sinching the laces together. An alternative: go to your local Sports Authority. That store stocks this item, and you can try one on.
