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.

The more compression the better the support for your legs, and the increase in circulation. You should get sized for a proper fit, however I believe 15-20mmHg is a good place to start and 20-30 would be preferred. If your leg feels numb the compression is too tight and you should go down a size. It should increase circulation, never cut it off.

I did not find much support for plantar faciitis in this sock even in the arch where my pain was. Having said that, this is a very nice sock that I will use for aerobics since my pain is now gone. Regular exercise and icing is what solved my problem.

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 think that it would. My daughter uses this when she cheers. She tumbles and jumps without any problems. It gives her support and protects here ankle better than any other brace we have used.

No it does not. The sleeve itself has no "give" to it and does not stretch, so it supports the ankle and holds it pretty tight. You don't get much movement of the ankle when the brace is all tightened up. No need for hard plastic.

Hello there... well the ankle supports come in S, M and L sizes I believe... the thing is that I'm a skinny dude so the M fit pretty well on my foot and ankle... but on top are kind of loose... so If you're not skinny it shall fit good...cheers!

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 really like mine. It works basically like a blood pressure cuff. You wrap the sleeves around each of your legs. The pink motor is attached to one of the sleeves. Then, there are several buttons with varying levels of pressure. There is no English on it, but you can figure it out. You just push the button and it turns on. If that was too hard, push another button until you find the button you like. It pumps the sleeves with air like a blood pressure cuff, then releases the air. I have poor circulation in my feet, so it pumps the lymph and blood that pools in my feet back up to my heart. It REALLY helps! My husband used to massage my feet and lower legs when my feet hurt so bad. Now he doesn't have too. He even uses it sometimes. Definitely worth it.

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.

If you go to the tommy copper online site - they have a chart showing in inches the measurement to the corresponding size - depending on which item you are looking at. That is how i measured my ankle piece. The ankle piece is very shear - unlike most supports - I do not know if that is consistent throughout the line. I am very pleased with mine - it is not a miracle cure - but i think it has definitely helped reduce the pain in my ankle.

I don't recommend it. it is not elastic enough to provide good compression therapy. I returned this item. Mueller ankle brace (which I bought at Wal-Mart) is a lot better, less bulky, a lot more comfortable.

It fit me perfectly, I am also a size 8 regular and had a double grade 3 sprain. My ankle was swollen to the size of a small mellon. It does give lots of support and it came up about 6 inches below the knee. It comes with extra padding I used when the swelling went down a bit. I was very pleased with the product and saved a lot of money. I hope this helped.

I would say no. It's best for wrapping around both ankles, and doing side, front, or back leg raises. This also strengthen hip muscles.

Yes, you should have the ankle supports as tight as you can get them. You might also try adjusting the height you have it set on. You shouldn't experience much movement when you invert.

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
