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.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

It doesn't restrict your movement, it just adds more support to your ankle. I hope this answers your question

I have poor circulation and in the hot weather, my ankles swell. The sock seems to help the circulation as my legs are not as tired and they help keep the swelling down. At this price they are certainly worth a try. They surely cannot hurt. Hope this helps.

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.

Hello I am not positive what the support level would be but I was very heavy, am very flat footed, plus my ankles have given up and are weak. Wearing these supports help me exercise and get through an eight hour day, I hope this helps.

No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either. I had major heel surgery back in early Sep last year and still in rehab with more ankle and Achilles pain now than in my heel. I'm trying out the cheap products to avoid overspending on things that Tricare won't cover and I may not need down the road. I bought this product, hoping that some of the compression would help me out in the Achilles. It doesn't. The ankle gel foam would get 3 stars maybe 3.5 max. Also, I've noticed some pain in my plantar which I didn't have before. Of course, my situation is different than yours, but I hope this helps. No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either.

Since I don't suffer from PF, I can't say yes/no w any certainty; however, they do offer compression around the heel and lower ankle, so it *seems* to me like they would help.

Gives good support to your calf, not so much for you knee. It does keep everything warm. I use them when I officiate basketball. It helps my legs recover a lot faster. Since I have worn them this season I have not had any muscle pulls. Fingers crossed!

Not at all! It has a little bit of pressure but doesn't cut off circulation.

This is not a boot. It gives your ankle support with slight movement depending on how tight you wrap it. You can drive with this but with a boot you can't.

My ankle sprain seemed high but extended only to my front lower shin. I wanted a boot that was supportive but not too large, tall, or heavy. This boot was amazing for me. It actually saved me from an additional sprained ankle when my foot started to roll on uneven concrete. The boot restrained ankle movement.

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.

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!

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 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.
