It doesn't support like an actual brace. The best way to describe it is like when you get hurt and you apply pressure to the injured area it helps relieve pain (?)....that's what it's like for me. I have an Achilles that "acts up" and it takes that discomfort away. And as far as blood flow....I am not sure. I let a friend try it out and they thought it gave more relief to their foot as well. Hope that helps.

It gives minimal support to the ankle. I do find it improves circulation and reduces my pain and swelling.

Hmm. I've been using the boot for that too. I think you could walk in 2 of them. It really helps my ankle. I would see a physical therapist too...! hang in there.

Most likely if wrapped for maximum support. With maximum support, you would start to loose circulation after a few minutes.

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.

I'm pretty sure it is 250, but I think anyone weighing 175 or more would find it very painful on the ankles when fully inverted. I weigh 150 and it is painful.

I use mine while doing aikido so I need the support but I also need to move freely without the brace sleeping. I guess it really depends on what your use in going to be. I need support but also need full range of motion so mine is tight but absolutely not circulation stopping. I look at this as a helping hand for my knee but not an absolute supporting structure if that makes sense. Hope this helps.

I can't say. It really depends on ankle size. We test filltwd our 12 year old at sporting goods store first then ordered on-line due to lower cost.

I find the anke holders surprisingly comfortable...as long as I'm wearing shoes. I've tried it without shoes and it placed too much pressure on my ankles feet. I use my running shoes and they absorb most of the pressure. The ankle braces have a quick release that will snap into place when most snug against your ankles...but it's not so snug that it cuts off circulation or anything.

I am not sure about the Achilles heel support. I bought it for my ankle and while it was very well made, comfortable and snug, it did not fill my need to support my ankle. I am sure you could do Zumba wearing it, but again not sure of the support for the heel...it could work. I did not keep mine as it was not enough support for my ankle ( I need support to keep from turning my ankle to the side as I broke it and it is weak) and it was too difficult to put on and off...needed 4 hands or 2 people! hope this helps a little. good luck.

Especially if you have hand weakness or bad ankles, use short socks and stretchy material. Too long without curve for ankle to bend to get on leg. Best if sock only to ankle at most. There are assisting hooks to help pull up and down socks which I am looking into. this is not of use with calf length socks by itself with swollen bruised feet and ankles from a bad fall.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

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.

It doesn't restrict your movement, it just adds more support to your ankle. I hope this answers your question

This item helps with pain. But it is only light support. If you have a lot of main you need more support. You might want to check with your doctor. Thank you

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.

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
