5.0 out of 5 stars So glad I got this!!!, May 6, 2008

This review is from: Tuli's Cheetah Heel Protector, One Size Fits All (Health and Beauty)

I wasnt going to leave a review but then I saw the 1 bad review a lady left on the medium sized one. I have a heel spur right under the achilles heel, not on the bottom of my foot. I have tried everything known to man (except surgery) to try to help this. This brace is the only thing that works. My spur is still there, but I do not hurt NEARLY as bad after playing football. Also, it works great for playing basketball too. I have tried other braces and then one works the best by far. My only suggestion is to buy two. I'm about to, just waiting to find something else to get for the free shipping. It comes with another gel pad without the brace. But its a pain to keep it in place if you play sports that require you to stop and go. I tear up all my socks and it ends up moving all around. So Im going to buy another one for my other foot, just cause they feel so good.

This also isnt a real great brace. Which is why I really like it. It allows normal movement but helps with my pain better than the old brace I had that was alot stiffer and more expensive. I noticed after running on the old one that my calf wasnt really being used much when running. Well one day I couldnt find it and went jogging without it. My right calf was SO sore from not using that muscle, since I had that ankle braced every other time I ran. It was terrible. I now run faster since Ive starting using this brace and my calf actually has a muscle there again.

If you play sports, or just like running...this brace is awesome. Give it a shot..it only $16.. you'll be glad you did.

5.0 out of 5 stars just the thing for gymnasts!, April 14, 2009

This review is from: Tuli's Cheetah Heel Protector, Medium (80-100lbs) (Health and Beauty)

I needed something for my gymnast to tumble in. She had a cracked heel (growth plate) and these were recommended by the ortho. I have put them through the washing machine (in a pillowcase) and then hung them to dry. They have held up for a couple of years using them 15 hours a week.

3.0 out of 5 stars Proper Sizing, October 28, 2011

(REAL NAME)   

I have yet to receive mine, so I'll let you know how these work out after I've used them for a bit. I've had chronic heel/ankle pain for over 30 years, starting BEFORE my teens, so I'm a tough critic. But just to help everyone out with the sizing, what they have here on amazon is wrong. According to the manufacturer's site, if you don't want the one-size-fits-all then it has nothing to do with weight, you measure the circumference of your instep (arch):
XS = up to 7.5 inches
Small = 7.5 to 8.5 inches
Medium = 8.5 to 9.5 inches
Large = 9.5 to 10.5 inches
XL = over 10.5 inches

Makes much more sense, huh?
For what it's worth I'm trying the one size fits all because I prefer a wrap, not a compression style, but if you want it sized then that's how you do it. Good luck to everyone with easing their pain!
