I need support for my ankle when I play soccer, will this product serve this need?

I myself have never played soccer. This brace does have a lot of compression and definitely stabilizes my ankle through 8 to 10 hour work shifts on concrete and jumping up and down off of carts onto said concrete. It holds my ankle in place quite well and has actually given me a visual foot arch for the first time in my life. It couldn't hurt to try, I like it a lot better than the other brands with the heel openings, this one fits more like a sock but still provides adequate compression.

If you have bad ankles, this ankle brace with work. I have a bad Achilles for years because of having really bad flat feet. I went to all kinds of orthopedics with no success. One orthopedic recommended these and I have been using them ever since (2 years). I can't walk without them. Excellent product!

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.

Yes it has great support the only support for the ankle area that I have found. I use it when I cut the grass on a hill I have no pain when I finish

For sports, I would purchase something more robust. I have bad ankles and I wanted something more than an Ace elastic sleeve.

Thank you Rachel for raising this question. our ankle support is not water proof. It is not recommened to use in water.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

My toenail was broken/half gone... They definitely helped. You need to be careful if playing soccer tho

It would provide some additional cushioning, but is only about a 1/4" thick, so it wouldn't provide a great deal of protection. I use a piece on a leg brace to keep the brace from digging into my leg, and it does a great job for that.

This McDavid Shoulder support would work fine. I use it after exercise to warm up an injured shoulder. It allows me to keep moving but bring additional warmth and light support to my shoulder.

You can find this ankle brace at most sports stores. Dicks and Models carry it. I would try it on and see if you like it. You can still buy it on Amazon cheaper if you like the feel. I've worn one like it for years playing basketball and it is the only one I've found that works for me. My left ankle turns/sprains w/o it. I do not play any other sport anymore. I guess it would be ok but I andvise trying it out first.

I've not used it for soccer, but I use it for weight training. It gives me the support I need to withstand the pressure from the weights.

Absolutely! I hurt my knee last year playing soccer and now wear it everyday for added support. The compression isolates the joint for more stability. I even used this winter and was able to go skiing!

My experience I used for support from a torn ligament to avoid my knee from slipping in and out of place. If you're using for support you will benefit with my experience with muscle and cartilage the body has to repair itself! Hope this helps!

No, you need to order two. They come with a separate heel cup, but not ankle support.

Not sure if this product would work for you based on your discription on what you need. I would consult a specialist first. I just needed mine for support while jogging.

I use the product for everyday use. I have very weak ankles. The ankle braces have held up good for me. I don't know how it would work for sports. They was showing it with a volley ball player.

I don't play tennis. I assume they would be good for tennis players, knowing that they're helpful for soccer players. They provide good compression of the ankle joint without diminishing flexibility.
