I am a size 12 extra wide men's foot = extra large size PowerLix Ankle Brace Compression Support Sleeve. I ordered both a Large size and an Extra Large size. Comes with a pair of them to each box. The Extra large was really tight and all at first but loosened up perfectly for my ankle, still using the first extra large a month later. I tired the large size on, not much smaller than the extra large but absolutely tighter, way tighter, too tight for my feet. So I gave those away to another in need.
This PowerLix Ankle Brace Compression Support Sleeve solves much of my severely swollen ankle quickly (but sadly not permanently) due to a very serious motor vehicle collision. At least I found a way to greatly reduce ankle swelling. And all while most doctors don't have a clue or don't give a damn. Whatever!
Only this ankle compression sleeve reduces significantly and efficiently both my injured ankle swelling and the associated calf swelling too, when/if it's allowed to get that bad by walking or standing too much for a chronically injured ankle of mine.
The compression sock that my primary care provider advised cannot and didn't do what this higher quality ankle compression sleeve does. This thing is a real winner for swelling and it solves the out of control swelling of the ankle, and my associated calf swelling because of the ankle swelling.
As for "an ankle brace"? It's not a good replacement for any brace or boot/cast. But if you have swelling it will help there a lot, or did for me, and yea it does offer a bit of support and comfort for a very tender foot when wearing it so it helps there a bit too, as a somewhat lame brace of sorts.
But realize it wont give enough "support" for a unstable ankles, or at least not for my seriously unstable ankle that is much more at home in the boot/cast where I clamp down so that the ankle is fully supported and guarded from twists and torques of the ankle. Only a boot/cast or ankle brace can suffice for that.
THIS IS THE ONE TO TRY and the quality is top notch just like they advertize!
