I bought this after I stepped in a hole while walking the dog at night; thankfully, I didn't break the ankle but messed it up pretty badly. I'm naturally loose jointed, and I have messed up tendons/ligaments from falls over the years. I have a medical ankle boot style brace for one foot but since that wasn't the ankle I messed up, I was in need for something for that foot.The fact this one was affordable and had great reviews was what drew me to it. It got to me quickly, thank goodness, and I've been using it for the time I'm at work to try to help with healing and stability.It's been working great; once I get it to the right tightness, it supports the foot well and helps keep the pain down too.There's only two issues I have honestly. One, it's a one size fits most and I've noticed it's nearly too big where it comes across the arch of the foot. I wish it was actually smaller there because the velcro is nearly bent back double to get it to the right tightness in that spot. The other issue is that there are NO instructions on how to clean this thing! Can it be machine washed? If so, instructions?
