Do these help with pronation of the ankle...the tendency of the ankle joint to bend inward toward the other ankle?

I sent these back; they are horrible, like blocks of wood. Unusable except to throw at someone you hate. Go to shoe store and get help.

I haven't used mine that much so I couldn't tell you whether they help or not. Sorry

hello, they would be good for your ankle but over time they would break in more and more but they can always be tightened. Thanks.

Ah ............ Yes! ..... in my case, definitely! I had this issue in both heels/feet for quite a long time and I tried several things for relief. After a PT told me about the balls, I ordered them and they have made a world of difference. Now, I use them only when I feel a "tinge" of returning discomfort, and they remedy the issue right away. I would try them and I would guess that you will be very happy with the results.

Without knowing all the details of your age, weight, physical health etc it's hard to say exactly. But if you are wearing shoes and have the table and ankle supports set/adjusted properly, you may just have weak ankles. When you are doing a complete inversion 100% of your body weight is being supported by your ankles. You may just have to work up to complete inversion before your ankles can support the weight.

No. I bought them just for my ankles with the understanding that is what the product is for.

I disagree with others. I have foot drop and use this item. By attaching the cross straps to the sides of the ankle the front of the foot is lifted upwards. Of course, it's just neoprene so a heavy shoe or boot would counteract the effect.

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.

These aren't meant to fix the bunion, but to just slow down the progression. I wear them to help align my wayward big toe and for the extra cushioning it provides my bunion. In this aspect, it most definitely helps!

That would be the one area you get what pay for in the cheaper model. They could really improve the ankle system easily. I have to wear boots when I invert to make it so my feet don't extend and end up supporting all my weigh improperly. I feel that the bottom foot rest and upper bar are too far apart and feet slide down or I have to flex my feet which I can only do for 5 min at most.

They are suppose to but I found they didn't do much. If your toes are crossing or hammer toes these won't help.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

I don't think they go up high enough to support the ankle. I use this to support a weak upper foot near the ankle. For ankle support, I think you would meet something that goes up higher onto the ankle. The main reason I purchased the Wellgate Slimfit was because it did not go high up the ankle as I didn't need support on the ankle itself.

No, they don't give side to side stabilization like a firm molded heel cup would along with an arch support. Like say what you would find in a Superfeet insert. They just provide extra cushion which puts less pressure on the heel where the plantar fascia connects. I use them with Superfeet inserts.

They will help support your wrists and that should also alleviate some of the discomfort! Try also varying the position of your wrists ie: try leaning a tiny bit forward or backward

Yes, there is a little gap for your ankle bone which makes it uncomfortable to wear it on the opposite foot.

These have nice ankle support. I am an active person, so I'm not sure if having more developed leg muscles is the reason for feeling stable butt, all in all, you feel secure while blading.

Yes they do, there two different kinds of cleats, these are the ones that only release by rotating the heal outward. The other type of cleat releases in multiple directions, I personally don't care for them.
