"I've been wearing this brace during gymnastics and it's really comfortable and so far I haven't re-injured my ankle since I've been wearing this brace."

"I've used the aircast airsport for about 1.5 years now (playing tennis about 3 times / week) and they are still holding up even though there are signs of wear, so for durability i give them a 5.
Support is excellent. I felt absolutely confident with my movements on the tennis court. Support rating 5
The only downside i saw is that it is a little bulky on the sides where the actual ankle support plastic rods are built in. Have to loosen the shoe quite a bit to be able to get your foot in. Wearing it was always a bit of a time consuming process and the velcro straps are not well designed. The adhesive part on the velcro is a little short specially if you have to tighten it to get a firm fit. Therefore for easy of wear, i rate it a 3.

"Excellent product"

"I've always been prone to sprains; then I needed multiple surgeries on my ankle. I started playing volleyball again and needed a serious brace, so I bought this. I didn't sprain my ankle a single time the entire year. I'm replacing it now after a year of heavy wear and tear.
Might be tough to get used to if you've never used this heavy-duty of a brace before, and it might be difficult to get it into your shoe at first. Be careful not to tighten the achilles strap too much or it will pinch and get sore. My old Active Ankles would always give me blisters the few times I wore them, but this brace never did.
Well worth the price."

"Ease of use compared to other products is worth it. It is an effective ankle support brace, however I would echo an above reviewer about the achilles strap. Over tightening the lower strap causes achilles trouble."

"Because of very good comfort I tend to use the Aircast for both athletic and non-Athletic use such as walking. Although the Arizona brace is more effective for non-athletic activity such as walking I prefer Aircast. The Aircast is probably useful for other athletic activities."
