I noticed that it was mentioned that it was a bit too tight at the top of the ankle. I noticed that too. Did you get use to it.?

I only used it a few times. Not only was it too tight at the ankle, it rode up toward the ankle from the toe opening. All in all, a bad design for my foot and a waste of money.

The boot felt a bit more bulky than when using it with just a cast, even though my cast went up to (but not covering) my knee. I didn't use it much after I got the boot.

Yes. I wear mine around my ankle all the time around the house; especially if I am at risk of getting it wet when doing housework or working out on the elliptical. When I'm going to leave the house, I wrap it around my ankle and pull my sock up over the band so it won't accidentally get knocked off my leg.

I wear it on the ankle all the time. I sized up 1 though (I fit perfectly in the S, but went M to do both ankle & wrist). The band does not go completely around the ankle because the ankle is more round and the wrist more oval. I just leave the opening at my achilles.

It's rather large and that'd be pretty uncomfortable, so my gut reaction is no. I've got size 12 SWAT Boots and I didn't like the feel of it. It was like I had a peg leg.

Mine is just stick to my skin. I won't say it is tight as I can move freely. I have checked the official website on the size guide before I buy it. You may have a look.

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.

Occasional I do find myself having to adjust because there is a little discomfort, but it's not a constant everyday/ every wear issue. the little side supports are more uncomfortable to be honest so I started sticking a little cotton ball in between on each side to prevent the little poke. hope that helps:-)

I replaced mine with it, but it wasn't as comfortable. I ended up putting it on top of my existing one since it had little to no arch support and it worked out for the better.

Hi Andrea, If swelling of the ankles is a problem, you might want to give these a pass. The entire sock fits snugly. I don't find that the top is any tighter than the rest of the sock; the whole sock, however, is snug. My husband, found them a bit too close-fitting for his comfort. Hope this info is useful to you. If there are further questions, ask away.

Jack makes a good point. When I started using mine I kind of had to find the feel for it and pushing your weight forward on the waist pad (while keeping your back straight) helps a little too. It's kind of like moonwalking in place hence his tip on not picking your foot up, just the heel.

The tightness is the one, possible complaint the user might have . . . in a word. I should add that others say "No," but all three of mine do it. They do loosen up after a while, but I've never found the tightness to be a prob. As stated elsewhere, the co does stand behind their product and will replace, practically at the "drop of a hat." Call`em if there's a cont'd prob.

Yes. It seemed a little tight and not the exact contour at first but seems to have broken in now. Still a bit snug but better than too loose. It works for me.

I had the same concern until I figured out a way to make it safer. Have baby wear it on his ankle UNDER his one piece romper or pajamas. He can't get at it that way . . .

There is an oval relief pattern on the top which I really only noticed this morning when paying attention. I don't find it uncomfortable and my feet are pretty sensitive to surfaces.
