Aircast A60 Ankle Brace

Fractured ankle/rehab. Thanks to my consultant who referred me to the physio department. An amazing experience, lots of hard work and regular daily tailored exercises but not for the faint hearted. I was advised to purchase your A60 Aircast ankle support during my one to one sessions. A well spent £50. Followed by a specialist referral, to join the lower limb exercise class, 6 in all. My weekly supervised gym session and my daily homework has really benefitted from the ankle support which will be used regularly for at least six months. My reward - a walking holiday in Portugal, next year. I love walking and enjoy five miles a day. Next a marathon!!!! However, the brace is showing signs of wear on the stockinet/netting material at the ankle strap pressure points. Please do not allow this to deter you from making this valuable purchase as it comes with a six month warranty provided you have adhered to the application and cleaning instructions.

I bought this product after having broken my fibula and damaged the ligaments in my ankle, after the period of having had my leg in a cast and then the subsequent 'walking boot'. I used this brace for extra support whilst regaining my strength/confidence and I found it very useful. It is toughly constructed and will last for many months, or more, of constant, use. I would not like to have been without it. 'Breaths' well and so does not get stinky!

I had an eversion injury to my left ankle four months ago. X-ray Normal so diagnosed as Lateral collateral ligament injury. Causes pain and instability especially on uneven ground. It effectively stopped me from playing golf. The brace has two rigid strips (grey areas on picture) and will protect the ankle from both inversion and eversion forces. It is fairly easy to fit and allows the user to then wear normal footwear. The only slight modifications I would suggest are: 1. I would prefer the brace to hold the ankle in a slightly more valgus position. 2 The angle the strap leaves the outside brace is a little to horizontal for my liking. Bear in mind I would not be playing golf again without it so overall I am happy with the purchase.

After years of playing squash with no problems I suddenly began to experience a pain in the lower back which then travelled down the back of my leg. After 2 years an Osteopath diagnosed the problem as a slightly shorter right leg. The resultant heal lift worked the magic and the pain disappeared. However after a few weeks I went over my left ankle very painfully playing squash. After a few weeks recovery I went over again! The heal lift was moving my weight to the left and the ankle was not used to that. Decided to get an ankle support and this site did a good job in getting it to me quickly (next day) and the product is a very good support. Takes a little getting used to but then everything does.

After reading all the reviews I decided to buy this brace and am not disappointed!

Brilliant customer service although I got it after 3 weeks (I live in Greece). The product just excellent, great support, easy to use. A must buy. (Admin response: Apologies, the delay was within the postal carrier in Greece as the item was passed to Greece within 4 days of you ordering the product.)

Over the years, whilst playing netball, I have gone over on my ankle several times causing ligament damage. Therefore I really needed an ankle support that would give me the confidence to play without the worry of doing it again. I tried on a few supports in sports shops, and they were either too lightweight giving little support or too restrictive and bulky that I couldn’t even get a trainer on. The Aircast A60 whilst a little more than I was originally planning to spend is fantastic. It is supportive and lightweight. I can play netball with confidence, and it was so worth the money. Would definitely recommend.

Very impressed with the support provided. Still allows you to play sport without being hindered. Noticed that the stitching came away a day after I first used it and would not expect this for the price paid. (Admin response: please contact us for this rare problem. We can get the item replaced if there are problems as Aircast do provide a 6 month warranty)

It is a great support and stops your ankle from rolling inwards after an injury such as mine. It feels a little strange having a piece of plastic under the arch of your foot but you get no blisters or chaffing from a high foot impact game such as hockey. It is very comfortable and you feel confident when wearing it.
