2.0 out of 5 stars It seems to help - but straps don't work, February 5, 2010

This review is from: Mcdavid Achilles Tendon Support (Sports)

I have self diagnosed myself as having achilles tendonitis. It started with basketball and now affects me with soccer and tennis. I am 35. I started getting this at 30 and it has been getting progressively worse. I get it in both legs. I have been wearing the support strap for the last couple weeks when I play soccer on Monday night on my right ankle and that ankle seems to be improving. Although I had to get new shin guards since my old ones had a strap didn't fit with the Achilles Tendon strap.

Lowering from 4 to 2 stars because I have 2 of these now and for one of them the strap doesn't stay closed.

I bought the Protec ones since the strap wouldn't stay closed on these. Protec ones are much better - the strap doesn't open up.

I teach aerobics classes and had to take six weeks off from all weight-bearing activity due to achilles tendonitis in both legs. I purchased these braces to alleviate some of the stress I was placing on the tendons when I started teaching again. They provide great support to the tendons and have worked extremely well. I don't have any problems with keeping the supports closed - the velcro is very strong and stays tight. I won't teach again without these braces - a wonderful investment to help protect my achilles tendons.
