They seem solid but the sizing was wrong for me personally

I was really excited to try my better guards but they showed up a bit tight despite me getting the right measurements. I was rather disappointed I didn’t get to try them. I have been finding my ankle get more and more stable without a brace so I decided to just return it. They do seem pretty great compared to every other ankle brace I tried in the past (I usually would just take em off after 20-30 mins of wearing due to discomfort/ lack of mobility).

Great Ankle Brace

I recently purchased this ankle brace and it has been a game-changer! The support it provides is exceptional, making it perfect for games and intense workouts. It’s comfortable, easy to adjust, and stays in place all day. I Highly recommend for anyone needing reliable ankle support!”

Really works to keep your ankle supported.

Better guard really works to keep you ankle supported during healing or activity. However, i dont think the chart for what size per measurements is quite accurate. I fall square in the middle of medium, but the brace is quite painful to put on and take off. I have ordered a large and will return the medium if the large fits and is not too loose. I could not recommend these braces for a newly injured ankle due to the pain of putting them on, great for later in the healing process. FYI, i have two avulsion fractures, a completely torn ATF ligament and torn tendons. Ugh

It keeps getting better…

I was very impressed with the 1.0 fit and design, and I’m honestly surprised they pulled off this improved version. It feels even more comfortable, and I love the white. No brainer!

The best ankle brace I’ve ever worn

This is the only ankle brace I’ve ever been able to use. Usually ankle braces drive me crazy and due to lack of mobility I never wear them. With the better guard I don’t lose any mobility and still feel confident that I am protected. I would highly recommend better guard to any athlete!
