edited review: Comfortable but Velcro shredding material
I am editing my original 5 star review down to 3 stars.<br />&#34; It is the most comfortable brace I've worn.  Recently out of cast into brace that cut into my feet.  This one is padded for extra support at both sides of ankle, openings do not cut into skin, and straps provide very good stability&#34;. All this is true, however,<br />the Velcro (aka hook and eye&#34; closure) located at end of straps does not have corresponding Velcro to attach to.<br />Consequently the Velcro attaches to the other strap or to the neoprene foot sleeve which has frayed and tears at the the fabric of both.  I find myself having to cut off the fuzz and loose thread. I also notice that strap of my prescription brace is attached at the bottom so that it pulls up and around my ankle providing much better support. On this model the strap is sewn to the back ankle seam. It's too bad - I really like the padded material on this one.
