Benmarck Achilles Tendon Support Brace, Plantar Fasciitis Sock, Ankle Compression Sleeve For Running, Tendonitis and Flat Feet Relief

First I want to state I typically never review a product. These are wonderful. I am a hiker and softball player in my early 50s. Wearing these with the combination of stretching has been gold. I have had great recovery wearing these during strenuous, challenging or heavy athletic activities. I really do recommend these. I did not put these on immediately before a game. I put them on about 30 minutes to an hour prior so that way my body can acclimate and I did do my calf stretches in the combination of these and sometimes I’ll do a random stretch during a game or during a hike as a person who consider himself athletic this is a must have for athletes when I washed them I hang them to dry

These were amazing, relieving my pain almost instantly.

Reached a point in life where I suddenly needed sculptured pillows to sleep and braces to wear, well anyway. I started having achilles tenonitis after a particularly strenuous hike. The worst part is after months it never got better. I had no idea why my ankle was so painful then I started reading up on the condition. I'd never tell others how to address their health concerns, but for me, this brace was a combination god send and...disappointment. The uniform support from this brace of very well made materials is, well, outstanding. Not an exaggeration, minutes from having the support from this brace I was able to go about my day pain free. In fact the measurable mobility was well, pretty awesome. Well constructed and the material appears to be quite durable. Have been using them for a few months and the improvement in my mobility is excellent. My one complaint is, for a tendon to heal you have to supply it with blood. And as the blood supply to tendons isn't the same as it is for muscle, well....when you're done with your day and get home, take it off. I experienced discomfort after a long day with the fact that the top elastic bad on the sock had dug deeply into my ankle. Which that in itself was somewhat painful once I took the sock off. Not enough to be a deal breaker, but it convinced me to wear it when I need it and then take it off. The construction of this sock is very good. However, it'd be even better if the top elastic band was in fact a wider band. spreading the support but also not impeding tendon healing, And not digging deeply into your ankle.

Forget the Olympics; I’m just trying to make it to the mailbox without my Achilles tendon snapping like a dry twig. Enter the Benmarck Achilles Tendon Support Brace, a garment so snug it makes a boa constrictor look like it has commitment issues. I didn't realize my ankles needed a "hug from a professional wrestler," but here we are, and I’ve never felt more medically inconvenienced or stable. Why Your Feet Deserve This Fabric Prison: The "One Size Fits Most" Paradox: "Unisize" is a bold claim. It fits my ankle with the precision of a high-tech aerospace seal, but I’m reasonably sure that if I had one more bagel for breakfast, my foot would have been legally declared a separate, purple entity. It’s not a sock; it’s a nylon spandex blood flow challenge. Moisture Wicking Sorcery: The box says "drains away moisture." I can confirm that while the rest of my body was a swamp after a three minute jog, my ankles were as dry as a desert bone. It’s localized climate control for your lower extremities. The "Physiotherapist Approved" Aesthetic: It comes in "Fjord Blue," which is a fancy way of saying "I am currently injured, but I make it look like a choice." I feel like a bionic athlete, even if my primary sport is currently "standing up from the couch without making a noise." The Compression Paradox: It’s thin enough to wear under a shoe, but strong enough to remind you that you have bones. Every step feels like the brace is whispering, "I’ve got you, Steve. Don’t you dare twist that ankle. I won't let you." It’s the overprotective helicopter parent of footwear. Final Verdict: If you want to feel like your feet have been vacuum sealed for freshness and safety, this is the brace for you. It’s perfect for the person who wants the stability of a plaster cast with the fashion sense of a 1980s aerobics instructor.

These are stretchy and easy to put on. I really want them to be tighter. There’s just not enough support. They are beneficial and provide some support. But a tighter fit would be optimal.

These feel amazing. You feel the grip and support as soon as you put them on. Thinking of buying a second pair and back up.

I have PTTD (Posterior Tibial Tendon Dysfunction) which was brought on by running which I have since stopped but continues to be aggravated by hiking and walking. My passion is hiking and walking in the Driftless region of Wisconsin where I'll be retiring to. After a weekend of hiking, my foot usually has pretty bad pain, causing me to limp and be very uncomfortable, unable to even walk very far. I tried these just as an experiment to see if a "real" sleeve (rather than a Walgreens generic) would help. I can't believe the difference it has made. Hiked my bluff and marsh all weekend without issue, no pain and very little discomfort after words. Now I can hike with confidence that I won't have to suffer for a week after a weekend of hiking.

These worked for me. I had a 2 micro tears in my achilles heel and these help give my heel and calf support. Still had to wear a boot but if my heel gives me trouble I put this on, it helps. i wear an 8,8/12 womens shoe and this size was good for me.

Si lo que buscas es soporte para caminar y actividades cotidianas es un buen producto, pero contrario a lo que anuncian, no sirve para practicar deporte, ya que el soporte es insuficiente. Es más un calcetín grueso que una tobillera.

I wear a size 10 1/2 and I find the medium a little tight but it works amazingly. I highly recommend it!

These are gold, and work extremely well. I give them five stars, because they have helped immensely with my Achilles problems. I wish they made exactly these in a sleeve, for the calf and quad as you don't always want compression all over as with a tight. I recommend these very highly, but one criticism. There is some small split at the top rear seam, after seventh months of consistent use. This is partly because I have some trouble getting them on and off, and so I sometimes pull and put my nail through the seam. But this is also because I have weaker hands these days, it shouldn't trouble a younger person. They are very strong compression, so of course they are tight to work with. I recommend folding over and rolling onto the foot. The fit is FANTASTIC. I wear a US women's 10 running shoe and they fit me perfectly, using the heel graphic as a guide. They have given me immense pain relief and helped in reducing the Achilles problem, which is now 70% improved.

I brought this brand as well as another brand at the same time, the other brand product is less priced as well as supports your ankle more and serves purpose.

Great quality, best buy small to get the best fit. Still wearing them and pain reducing.
