Product Description
Pro-Tec Athletics Achilles Tendon Support stretches, allowing the user to determine the amount of compression they deem appropriate. This stretch keeps the brace stationary and provides consistent pressure. The neoprene strap, which is applied just above the ankle bone, includes a firm, yet comfortable pressure pad which applies focused compression on the achilles tendon. In addition, the elastic strap which wraps under the heel provides a consistent lift to the heel. These factors combine to reduce stress to the achilles tendon. Black only. One size fits most. Returns: Due to hygiene purposes, this item is non-returnable. |

Helps with the High Heel achilles pain by Sparkle (Northern Virginia)  5 Stars
July 21, 2009
This brace worked perfectly to support my achilles tendons that are tight and can become VERY Painful for days in a row. It happens most when I switch from wearing my normal - high heeled shoes, sandals and boots to my bare feet, flip flops or sneakers. I've worn them in several spurts to get relief.
It seems to work by slightly lifting yout instep to simulate a very slight heel instead of one's foot being flat on the floor in in the flat shoe. The velcro worked great for me and once I found my sweet spot for attachment, I was good to go.
Don't forget to order two of these if both achiles are hurting.

Excellent Product. I highly recommend it. by Alejandro Arriagada (Santiago - Chile) 5 Stars
July 16, 2009
I've been suffering chronic achilles tendinitis for more than a year due to running. I've tried with Polidocanol injection and excentric stretches. I've read a lot about this problem, and researchers agree that this problem is not well understood, so it is hard to tell which is the best treatment.
Finally, I bought this achilles support and it was incredible !!!. It really worked for me. I reconize that I'm a little overweight, so running didn't help to heal my tendon, but this product decreased the pain in my feet.
Of course, good stretches(excentric) and loose weight (in my case) are also welcome.

I cannot recommend these. by R. Alvarez (Miami, FL United States)  1 Stars
June 04, 2009
I purchased these because I had a very tight/sore achilles tendon. After 3 days of using these I had more discomfort than ever. I stopped using them and my achilles soreness improved greatly. Others have had success using this product, unfortunately that was not the case for me.

This skeptic is convinced! by Heavenlight (Rancho Cucamonga, CA) 5 Stars
March 02, 2008
Like night and day! I have suffered from horrible achilles tendonitis for YEARS, and this is the first product that actually provided relief. As a large but extremely active lady (dance classes and martial arts six days a week!), I was fed up with being told by various doctors that maybe I was just "too heavy for those types of activities." Upon first examination of this product, I thought it looked kind of cheap, but figured that for the price I could afford to take a chance. Thank goodness I did! As for the quality, I've been wearing them six times per week for the last 6 months and washing them (by hand) twice weekly, and they are still going strong! I am once more tapping, leaping, and kicking up a storm. I wear them barefoot for Tae Kwon Do (they stay in place wonderfully), and with my shoes for dance. I would definitely recommend giving this product a try.

It works! by J. Madge 5 Stars
February 08, 2008
I have a tight Achilles tendon, which I'm slowly improving with stretching. However, for years I have not been able to walk for longer than half an hour without excruciating pain in the back of my left calf. I just tried this support out tonight, and did an hour of brisk walking on the treadmill with barely a twinge. It's very comfortable and fits easily in my athletic shoe. Highly recommended!
