I have lingering pain from a high ankle sprain. I wanted something that I could take to the gym with me so I could apply immediately after my basketball game. I really like the convenience of this wrap (no ice cubes, easy to transport) but it doesn't stay cold enough to apply after a game. So, I decided to just use it around the house - straight from freezer to foot. It starts off cool (not really freezing cold) and only stays effective for 10 minutes. Depending on what you need it for, that may be enough. I was looking for something with a little more staying power. In addition, I wear size 11 womens' shoe and find that the wrap is a little big. I have to really cinch up the velcro straps and then I get some areas where it doesn't touch my foot or ankle. The wrap may be on the XL side.

This is the exact product I use with my physical therapy for a broken ankle with 2 surgeries. I will be using this product long term. This is the best cold therapy I have found. Since it is used by my therapy, I feel it is the best on the market. Thank you.

My chiropractor lent me hers after I had arthroscopic shoulder surgery. Even though it's designed for ankles, it works great on the shoulder also. I felt that it stayed cold long enough and was really impressed in the supple flexibility of the material. Unlike other ice packs I'd used which only touched part of the area, it really made contact and could be adjusted in many ways with the velcro. I would highly recommend this product -- I'm buying my own today!

This wrap is great for a 15 min ice down of the ankle. However, if you are looking for something to ice down for longer than 15 mins you might want to look for another product. This one holds a nice cold temp for 15 maybe 20 mins, but not much longer than that.

I have a size 13 foot and it still fits well and covers the ankle fully. It is soft on the skin and the elastic band w/ velcro can get it as tight as you like.

After my physical thearapist used a cold pack on my ankle I went out to buy one. The one she used was an NBA version with alot of velcro and several insertable gelpacks. It cost about $100. This was about half that cost and was about half as good. The fit ws not as tight, the cold was not as cold and the length it stays cold was not as long. The bottom line is that this works,,,,and you get what you pays for. For a short term usage it was great --if you are going to be using it for several weeks --I would spend the extra $50 and get what the professioanl basketball players use.

The product easily molds to the foot and/or ankle.
It gets sufficiently cold, indeed you need to place it
over a sock usually. It certainly helps reduce
swelling and tendonitis. I would recommend this
product for anyone needing to "ice" the ankle
or foot.

I have tendonitis and this makes it so easy to ice my foot. You can wrap it and fold it and velcro it in place. Gets cold quickly, stays cold. After 20 minutes, throw it back in the freezer.

I was a little bit disappointed in the product. It is kind of oversized to fit in the regular sized microwave and the gel does not quite wrap the ankle to keep it steady. The only means of securing this product to ankle which is the strap can only do so much...

Very good product,and works great on ankle . Also is very good on a shoulder. Haven't had the chance to use it warm.
The price was right for it's need !

Purchased this item for my daughter who rolled her ankle in both directions dislocating and relocating it, bone contusions and torn ligaments . She was to be off her foot for 3 months on crutches etc. This is the item they used in the therapy office and we were quite impressed with it. After purchasing it I too had a misfortune therefore having to use it as well.It is by far the best ice pack I have ever bought.I am a fitness professinal and something is always aching and I will never buy any product that is no Elasto Gel ever again. Highly recommend it for any occurance.
