Arch Bandage: Will this thing fit me?

My foot measures 8.5 inches around the middle of the arch and this fits perfectly. It is flexible and yet rigid enough to provide support. I think it would fit you, although it may wear out the stitching quicker.

It has worked fine for me.I just slip it on and loosely adjust the velcro part. This was with a large cuff. To be sure ask for the circumference before ordering. I have fat arms. I just lean it on the table and then put my arm through...

Wear a sock underneath it. I wear this for sand Volleyball. Sounds a little dorky to wear it over a sock but it works. I love this bandage.. I'd buy another one. I'd also buy it one size smaller than your actual size, only because after hand washing it in Hot Water several times, it stretches out just slightly. I hope this helps.

You'd have to have very large shoes indeed. The plastic part is firm and the velcro + strap assemblies are well-padded. In addition, it is uncomfortable to walk in the brace because it digs into the front of your leg when you step forward with the opposite foot. I wear mine only at night.

Yes, and it is very elastic. It keeps your bandage in place much better than an Ace Bandage.

Hopeful that they will stretch a bit; I have high arches and foot was not going into sandal easily. The sandal is made nicely and when walking comfortable; and, if I can use the stretcher enough, maybe I can work it out so that I can wear then regularly without stopping the blood blow..

A lot of the reviewers (female) complain that the pouches aren't wide enough, so I suspect you would find that they didn't fit. Maybe a combination of cut-to-length toe bandages http://www.walmart.com/ip/Profoot-Toe-Bandages-3-Ct/10315084 and pads under the ball of your foot http://www.drscholls.com/Products/BallofFootOrthotics would help. Products like both of these are available at any drugstore. Good luck!

I am size 9. From heel to toe the AFO measures approx 11"(AFO is a size large.) It is contured so it will flatten out longer. It reaches comfortably to cover the ball of my foot. I you have a huge foot it might not work as well. The shin strap wil rub a sore spot. I cut a piece of head sweat band to size and slipped it over strap. Problem solved. I suggest at least a 3/4 top lace shoe. Set up like this it worked quite well for mee.

probably get a med or small. I wear one, it's more about fixing my foot than fashion, and it helped!

The size of the bandage really only depends on the wound. I've never planned to have any certain size or kind of injury, but it would be safer to have both, just in case. The six inch can be a little bit too big for the average medical kit when added to the assortment of other bandages, ointments, adhesive tapes, splints, painkillers and so on, but even more so if you have more than one of these bandages. The good news is, that regardless of size, they are sterilized and vacuum sealed to take up the least amount of space possible. I personally like the 4" more just for the simple fact it is easier to work with regarding pad and strap manipulation when applying the bandage. Also, if you ever have an instance where this dressing needs to be used as a tourniquet, the shorter width pad gives you precious seconds more to tighten down not only the pressure because your working with less surface area, but also with the length of the straps. The 6" pad takes longer to work as a pressure dressing or tourniquet and the straps are very, very long. The straps on the 4" are already long enough for any injury that they might be used for. And remember, If the vacuum seal is broken and you can squish the bag in your hands easily or even hear crinkling noises when handled, the item should be returned and you should get your money back, because the seal has been compromised and the package is no longer sterile, therefore it should never be used unless for tourniquet purposes only and there are no other sterile means of helping the injured individual right away.

I had foot surgery and had a walking surgical shoe. I ordered a short and it was fine but I had to return it as the surgical shoe was such that I could not easily get the bag onto my leg. My foot was not totally enclosed in the surgical shoe and I was afraid of bending or hitting my foot. The opening is very small and I would say unless you have a cast or a real boot, I would not go this route. You need to find out exactly what you will have.

I think you should ask your Dr. as he may be able to suggest a smaller bandage. This is an extremely large bandage. You might be able to cut it...not sure. But, I do suggest checking with your Dr. I think it would be very difficult to fit any type of bandage in that location though. I am sorry I can't be of more help!

I broke my wrist and after removing the cast I needed to cover it because my skin was very painful. I bought the 3" size.I just tried the 3" stockinette on my calf what measures 15 3/4" and it fits fine.It also fits around my ankle what measures 8 1/4". If your calf is much larger You could try the 4"size.

I also had surgery and my foot was wrapped, but I had to wear an Aircast over it to immobilize the ankle. I included this in my review because, as many know, these types of temporary casts are very bulky. I thought it was informative to point out that the Curad protector actually fits over it. In your case, all you need to know is whether it keeps your foot dry. For me it did. Good luck with your recovery!

I had a surgical splint and it fit fine. I think the boot would depend on how big the boot is- The problem would likely be getting it on. It did fit over my regular cast with penty of roon to spare.

I measured it and it will fit but once the Velcro starts to get older it may not hold. Probably should have the next size cuff available just in case.

Measure around the arch and check all types, You may come upon one that gives you an idea of size to order. I would order med, I'm a nine M-W width. If your foot chnages sizesduring the day you may want some large along with med and be able to change. Not good to let it get too tight.
