Supportive without being restrictive, difficult to take on and off.
This was supportive enough to keep me on my feet with a torn peroneal tendon without being overly stiff and irritating the tear. I previously tried other braces like lace up ones, velcro ones with metal bracing rods, and a walking boot. This brace kept my pain and inflammation down the most by a long shot. The only downside to this type of bracing was that since it's a one piece, very tight compression type of material, taking it on and off could be extremely difficult at times.
