I was surprised how this simple bandage secured and compressed my left ankle. I did not diagnostiziete pain at the inner side of the joint. If I wear a firm bandage or stocking with orthpädischen soles, the pain is gone. My old ankle compression stocking was worn out and I wanted to spare. This band can wrap any and you can regulate the strength itself. The Velcro allows. It feels too snug fit and I can carry it easily under my tennis socks. But I believe that it can not be wearing so well Stockings for ladies (because of the Velcro corners). At the same time I also have a new compression stocking (Bay) ordered that much worse supports my joint. Price, quality and effect in this strap fits. I will order again.
