i am not sure which support is level 2, but i bought these because i have broke both ankles and my right ankle has plates and screws on both sides of it and i am limited ambulatory and do use a wheel chair, but do walk around the house here and there and these support my ankles perfectly and they help ease the pain a bit also...well worth buying...hope that helps ya

I bought 2 types. This one was too small for me to get on comfortably but the one with ridgid plastic sides is GREAT and stabilizing for hiking, gardening and biking.

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.

Yes.. you will be able to, but not for long as the ankle support is not cushioned enough, so it does start paining in few minutes.

Yes you can use for ankle too. But watch out the sand leak all over the place. I used the "Nayoya" weights better then the Reebok brand. You may search here Amazon find the reviews and price.

I would say a II. It is the most support that I can comfortably compete in. Other systems such as hinged supports like the "active ankle" do give more support but are far to rigid to cut and accelerate in. The mcdavids are the best ive found.

This is an inexpensive boot. If you are looking for really superior support, I would recommend Alpinestars.

My ankle sprain seemed high but extended only to my front lower shin. I wanted a boot that was supportive but not too large, tall, or heavy. This boot was amazing for me. It actually saved me from an additional sprained ankle when my foot started to roll on uneven concrete. The boot restrained ankle movement.

Hello, happy to help if I can. I bought these for my wife, her ankles are 5" in diameter. She reports that she can cinch these weights right down and they work fine for her. A happy wife is a happy life....

I bought it for my mom, it is not designed for that & come in one size. It is not good, but she decided not to have me send it back, good support, but not for big swollen ankles. I suggest a good old ace bandage. Or see a doctor.

You can. It is supposed to help conform to your ankle better. I have used a cam walker and this one but I found I did not use the pump. Some may say it helped them but it did not do much for me.

I bought the ankle sleeve for my husband. He is 5'10 and carries about 285 pounds. His ankles are quite large and this ankle support fit very confortably. He is so pleased with it and hasn't suffered from the pain in his ankle since using it.

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.

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.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

Rebounder offers one but I believe it's freestanding. It's my sense any brand stabilizer will work. Good luck!
