Query: It's really well made, but poorly designed.

It was true-to-size and 'fit'. The sewing and materials are very good, BUT!!!...It does not hold the ankle at a 90deg angle. The 'stiffening' isn't stiff at all, and not only offers ZERO support, but leaves a bulky u-shape that puts pressure on the soft tissue around the ankle. The material is bulky and does not fit into shoes easily or comfortably. It has no stretch around the calf so it bites into the hamstring & achilles tendon. The lacing is difficult to use at best, it has to be completely un-laced and re-laced every time the brace is removed/put on. Also, the lacing is angled such-that it does not tighten at the 'bend' in the front of the ankle, so it does not hold the ankle steady forward/back either. Since this brace offered no side-side or forward-back support, didn't fit in my shoes, and was actually painfully tight around the calf, (in other words, it dosen't do anything the description says it'll do) I returned it.
