DonJoy POD Ankle Brace S/Right

This brace is exactly everything I'd hope it would be. NOT RECOMMENDED anyone do this but I used it to run on an ankle with an overuse injury. It looks clunky and bulky but it fit well in my normal running shoe size (one size larger than my casual shoes), and didn't bother or irritate my ankle or foot while wearing it for a very extended distance. I think it helped me from injuring my ankle any further since I couldn't roll it. My ankle actually feels better now than it did before the run. I was expecting the opposite or it would at least be sore but it's not. It's more than serviced its purpose because it feels like I can go on my next run without it. So if you are wondering if this brace is flexible enough, durable enough and quality enough look no further. It's been tested and I affirm it will hold up for a long distance wet and muddy trail run. Only con is it's expensive but I'd say it's worth every penny!

My husband came down with foot drop and and his PCP recommend this brand. Looked all over the internet and Amazon and Walmart was the only one that had the size he needed. The presentation of the packaging gave me the feeling that's this was either a return or even one that someone may had tried on and maybe returned. But my husband tried with socks on and for the first time in almost 5months he was able to walk normally and he didn't want to wait longer by having to ship it back and wait another week. He didn't want the lace up bulky braces so he is really happy with it. But at the same time quality control is huge for us, and the box shouldn't had been shipped the way it came in. We feel like the brace should had been packaged in a plastic bag or something, it was just the brace by itself in a ripped box. So for that reason we're give it a 3 star rating.
