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.

Using the Velcro strap, you can adjust down to pretty small--and you don't want it too tight for circulation's sake. I always used them on my ankles but just put it on my wrist (they are small) and it works--not as good as it does for my ankles but the job gets done. I find these better for medium-small women. Men and larger women might have trouble with them.

Yes, and I highly recommend it for anyone with a tender ankle. After rolling my ankle last year I had a hard time jumping off my left ankle out of fear, but when I started using the Aso supporter is gave me the confidence to do it. It's the best ankle supported I've used thus far. Hope this helps

I'm not sure since I'm not a doctor, but I know it stabilizes my ankle and relieves all the pain. I know that sounds hard to believe, but as long as I wear muy ankle brace, I'm pain free.

It can be, but more to promote circulation and compression in the lower leg.

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

Yes, it can. However, these go up to 10lb each ankle. You can pull weights to keep it in the 1-5lb. range, but if 5lb. will be your maximum weight, then save by buying 5lb. max wights.

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!

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.

This product can be used when you play sports, It gives added support to the ankle that is not provided by a pair of shoes.

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.

It does give, but I wouldn't say squishy. I think it is firm enough for good ankle support but soft enough if you land on a bony part like your knee or elbow.

only exceptionally light support unless you get one smaller than your arm which i do not suggest. you could cut off the toes of a tube sock if thats what you want..... :/

Not at all. I actually felt pretty good but it was very uncomfortable on my ankles.

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.

Honestly, I purchased one for my ankle. When my ankle swells, it gets a little snug and I sit down and rest. But, if I'm resting, it is so pain relieving and warm. Incredibrace has it's own website and you might want to go there (http://www.incrediwear.com). Their website says to measure two inches above the knee. I hope this helps. You probably can purchase for less at Amazon. Good luck if you decide to buy it. I love mine.
