Is this any better than the last version of these ankle braces? The version I am referring to is the one with the old logo and full black laces.

My guess would be that the design is similar, but made of some newer materials.

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.

I've never used the lace up. But, I think I would still prefer the speed lacer. I'm not sure there would be a comfort difference...maybe if you wanted one section extra tight or loose, using standard laces could work where the speed lacers won't. It came down to price for me...the speed lacers were cheaper.

I think the plus has extra padding around the ankle to promote healing and decrease inflammation and increase stability post injury. If you are significantly past the last surgery, injury, etc. the S is just fine, and works well as preventative for pre-stressed ligaments

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.

The laces should be great. Just take your old ones out, measure their length and get the closest length of these.

I order a pair of Teeter cobra XL. I found it to be more stronger and give better support than the Blue teeter gravity. I work out 5 days a we and my Buddy just happen to have own the blue teeter gravity boots. I feel for 247 lb man hanging from them, they feel like it going to break on me. I love the cobra & my feel the same he jusst order a pair too.

No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.

I have had an ACL rebuild and a full knee replacement on my other leg. This will not provide full support for athletic activities in my opinion but worked very well as something to use for everyday comfort while walking, driving, etc. For post ACL running (I played lacrosse), I used a brace similar to those used by NFL players.

I haven't had this one that long. My original one was similar I got in rehab in 2002 still have it. When using heavier compression stockings it could compromise it but I cannot use some of those new donners because you need more agility than I have.

I have no comparison as I only wear the SPAT. I have worn it on my shoe from day one. If a lace up I put it through 3 laces...half of one set and ll of the next lower one. If no laces, my other shoes will barely accommodate it. I've heard of clips breaking and being replaced, but that's no good if you lose it altogether.

AR_Kayaker, Not anymore. I called Polar and they no longer make the SmartFabric straps. This is the "new" softstrap, and the contacts are now a rubbery deal. Less static buildup, but the chest strap is a much cheaper, more slippery material. That, and the hook cover is pretty minimal; been rowing on a Concept2 daily since November 24, and I've worn a hole on either side of my ribcage from the tag that supposed to protect you from the metal hook end. It's nowhere near the quality of the Wearlink that was pictured here, but this is what they're making now. I'm adding some First Aid tape, and rowing on. AR_Kayaker, Not anymore.

Looks like they discontinued 1R or they are hiding it from the website. . The new dark appears to be striped or split.. the old one is not.

If I remember right Bauerfeind has a sizing chart for these braces on its website. You measure across the middle of your ankle. But I recommend you look for it. However I also wear a 9.5 shoe size. I bought the 4. It fits good. I wear the brace against my skin and my sock over that. I hope this helps.

These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles. I think I've had them for like 8 months in my badminton shoes and they are still in good shape. The top is showing a little ware, but that's nothing, when you compare them to the older blue foam bottom models which I would burn holes clear through within a matter of months. (They still give support where I need it, though, so I still use several older pairs in my other shoes, despite them having multiple large holes in each one.) Just make sure you get the newer model with the green rubber bottom. These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles.

Yes. I had a set of these which I used almost everyday for a year and one lace began to fray. I called their customer service, sent a pic via email along with a copy of my receipt and I had a new set within a week..awesome customer service and great laces...!!

I own this product. It is interchangeable from left or right foot. It works well. It keeps my ankle supported and is comfortable. 99% of my walking is indoors without shoes on hard surfaces and I notice that the bottom strap wears. This seems to be a common problem with these types of casts (the lower strap also wore out on my first similar-but-different-brand cast). I estimate that I will get three months until the bottom strap wears out. But I like the product so much that I purchased a spare to have for when the bottom strap finally gives way.
