Pro-Tec Athletics Achilles Sleeve with Dual Gel Compression Strips, Achilles Tendon Support for Tendinitis Relief,

I had achilles tendinosis. With it, I can now run 6km with no pain at all. Without it after 3km I have pain for 1-2 days. So it does the job, similar than much more expensive Europe based brands. It's also thin and light enough. Quality materials, and the colour is also great. Definetely worth it. I wear it over my running socks. I am a size 9.5 and bought Medium as reccommended and it fits snuggly, which I would want for 40min. of running. If I wore a 8 I might consider downsizing to Small even. For all day or longer wear I wouldn't downsize at all though. Will buy more. However this will NOT fix the tendinitis. You have first to fix it by Shockwave therapy or heel lifts, etc. or similar methods reccommeded by your doctor, and then wear it. Might help a little while you have the tendinitis, but can also make it worse - if it allows you mentally to walk or exersize more when you shouldn't, as you should heal and fix it first.

The sleeve works well, but is kind of hard to get on and off. Very important - get the next size up from what is listed in the size chart.

Good quality brace and the cushions are exactly what I needed for an achilles tear. I needed support along the back of my ankle without the added discomfort of seam thickness under my foot, and bulk inside my shoe. I also appreciate that the area around my midsole is more comfortable and doesn't squeeze. This is perfect but they do run small so I'd suggest ordering a size larger.

Terrible. This product looks like it was made for really tiny feet and bones. I wear a size 9 shoe and bought an XL. Fits so tight practically cuts off circulation to ankle and foot which makes things worse for a sprained ankle. Could have used detailed sizing information so could have bought correct size or not bought it at all if they couldn’t provide larger size/ longer brace. Very disappointing.

I like the feeling of that brace as a support for my tender Achilles but i my problem what’s that? I couldn’t put it on and off without somebody’s help.

Extremely comfortable, size is right on the money. As I put it on I got instant relief with the cushions on the side of the Achilles tendon. I could move my foot up and down with no pain and walk with no pain. The compression is good, it's not annoying to have it on my foot. I would definitely recommend to buy it for relief of the Achilles tendon.

Great fit and instant relief. I'm on my feet all day and these helped with the pain of walking on an angry Achilles. My PT even said the gel pads were exactly where they needed to be for healing.

I bought this for my Mom. She said it caused her more pain so there is risk in buying this item. I am guessing it was the compression. It seemed to be of good quality. Easy fit. Not too bulky. Not hard to use either. Hope this helps.

Not working out.
