Does it have good compression. I want to use it to reduce ankle inflammation.

If you get the right size, yes it does. It took me a little trial and error to get there, but once I found the right size, I was really happy.

It does, or can. Sizing would be important though. I have a size 12.5 foot and possibly larger than average ankle and compression was only moderate. Smaller size purchased would have given more compression.

Wear a sock underneath it. I wear this for sand Volleyball. Sounds a little dorky to wear it over a sock but it works. I love this bandage.. I'd buy another one. I'd also buy it one size smaller than your actual size, only because after hand washing it in Hot Water several times, it stretches out just slightly. I hope this helps.

My ankle is kind of small - it fit pretty good. The velcro has a good hold. It didn't feel flimsy or anything. I don't know how big your ankle is but the ankle wrap itself is pretty big.

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

I was not pleased with the ankle sleeve. The band around the top was too tight and the compression part was not much different than an ordinary stocking. Sorry.............

The compression helps keep swelling down and supports your foot too. I think this would help you very much

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either. I had major heel surgery back in early Sep last year and still in rehab with more ankle and Achilles pain now than in my heel. I'm trying out the cheap products to avoid overspending on things that Tricare won't cover and I may not need down the road. I bought this product, hoping that some of the compression would help me out in the Achilles. It doesn't. The ankle gel foam would get 3 stars maybe 3.5 max. Also, I've noticed some pain in my plantar which I didn't have before. Of course, my situation is different than yours, but I hope this helps. No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either.

This was very useful to me when I broke my ankle. I had a cast up to my knee and had no problems with it. I wear a ladies size 10 shoe, if size has anything to do with cast size. If you wear a men's 12, it my be difficult.

I can't say if it will solve your problem (although I've heard compression sleeves work for Shin Splints), but I doubt it will be too much compression (assuming you get the sizing right). I thought the compression was on the light side.

I have found that the degree of compression is fairly strong but it does not cut off circulation to the foot or become bothersome.

Had mine for several months and used it in-frequently til I sprained my ankle. Been wearing it every day for about three weeks and even with frequent laundering it seems to be holding up well and working great. Keeps the swelling down along with supporting the ankle and reducing the pain. I recommend it.

I think it depends on what injury you have. I broke my foot. Diagnosed with Li's Frank injury. 2,3,4 metatarsal break. I basically crushed my foot. When I wore it at night it felt fine. But in the morning when I took it off I was in extreme pain. I think its best for a couple hours for compression purposes. But longer than that I wouldn't recommend. This product is a very good product. It gives great support and great compression. Hope I helped with your question. Happy healing.

No, that would make if very uncomfortable. The way it is designed gives so much support. I sprained my ankle really bad and was able to wear this brace and still play soccer. I totally recommend it.

yes it would! I still use it as a ankle support while doing high endurance running on the treadmill. It is good for preventing ankle injuries!

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.

I used it for a muscle tear, but I also put under a compression sock for more support! I did well playing tennis with both. I hope this helps but be careful with a minor fracture because it can get worse! Good luck

It can be used when playing sports but I found the more effective brace is the type that laces up, has two straps that wrap around the ankle and has stiff stays along the side of the ankle. Search my other reviews and you will see the one I use while playing sports. Hope this helps!
