How does this brace compare to the Bledsoe wraptor, I have fallen arches and weak ankles.

It worked great when I used it,especially as it was easy to use vs. proper laces, but can't honestly compare it to other braces on the market due to no experience with any others, sorry! I finally succumbed to foot surgery due to major pronation of my foot sliding away from my ankle (ouch!), and now I no longer have need for a brace, but it worked fine when I needed it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

Don't know how they compare but these are good ankle braces. Way better than their standard lace up version. They are quicker to put on and you can adjust them much easier for a snug but comfortable fit. I started getting sprained ankles playing basketball and these, along with doing some balance work on a bosu ball did wonders.

Personally I used the brace for support while playing basketball. It was relatively comfortable and gave me a lot of side-to-side stability while still allowing full forward and backward movements.

This is a light brace. I have bad arthritis in both my knees (one needs to be replaced, maybe this winter) and it does help quite a bit. It is not as much support as one of the hinged braces, but it is not as cumbersome either. It provides compression and light support to keep the knee stable and take some of the pressure off it. It's also more breathable than most braces so more comfortable to wear. It's not a miracle cure, but it's about the best soft brace I've ever tried.

Well I am 6ft 250lb and I play ice hockey and lacrosse with this brace and I am very happy and satisfied with the support. It is a wee bit thicker than my old knee brace, but not nearly as big as a medical brace. Best of luck to you.

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!

Behind. It s the straps that need to be in a supportive position. Locking the heal with the outside strap is the most important for me. Preventing ankle deflection with this support takes away my pain.. The inside strap 'hugs' the arch but I don't wrap very tight- only snug.

It is a bit difficult to use without the brace with the stronger bands. The bands do break in and get easier to use. If you plan on using the stronger bands I do recommend the wrist brace. The wrist brace is quite cheap and we'll worth it when using the stronger bands.

I sprained my ankle pkaying basketball, and once it was healed although to get back out there I wore this for added assurance. I still wear it whether I play tennis, bball or any other sport that requires quick lateral movement. Highly recommend this product as a preventative brace.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

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.

I wore the brace with my basketball shoes. I didn't experience any discomfort although it does make your food wider so I had to loosen my shoe quiet a bit.

I dont know michael. I think most importantly it's going to come down to your tolerance and what you need from a brace in order to feel support. Myself I like things tighter than looser when it comes to my knee so i opted smaller.

The 429RX brace has more support in the front do to the cross straps that go in front of the knee cap. The one I purchased doesn't. Also the 429RX main straps (top and bottom) are assembled within the two locking bars on the side and inside. The one I purchased wasn't and during the football season, I had to replace 3 times. Great bracres but depending on the sport, the one I purchased isn't the one I'd recommend. The one you are inquiring about is a more better brace than the ones I purchased.

The Ace Knee Brace is made of a heavy elastic. I am not sure what type of thread is used, but it must be a type of elastic thread to be able to stretch. It's an excellent knee brace.

I have worn this brace intermittently, and have never had any issues with swelling or rashes. Make sure you order the correct size, it does fit snuggly... But the support it offers is amazing. I'm suffering from achellies issues right now and the moment I put this on, my pain is gone... Ordering another one tonight for my right foot.

Personally... this didn't do much for me at all. I would wear your inserts and forget about the arch bandage all together.

I purchased this brace about 8wks ago. I am sorry I did. The brace looked solid and functional and the reviews were great (of course) so I thought it would be a great way for me to continue my activities while waiting for surgery. The brace was not of the quality I expected. Comes from overseas and the bracing was cheaply made and attached. It certainly isn't of the same quality as DONJOY, but the price alone I guess tells us that. If you can keep the strapping and the cushions in place then the brace will probably work for you. The frame itself is plastic and seems solid enough. I just wish I had not bought it for myself I purchased this brace about 8wks ago. I am sorry I did.
