It doesn't support like an actual brace. The best way to describe it is like when you get hurt and you apply pressure to the injured area it helps relieve pain (?)....that's what it's like for me. I have an Achilles that "acts up" and it takes that discomfort away. And as far as blood flow....I am not sure. I let a friend try it out and they thought it gave more relief to their foot as well. Hope that helps.

It gives minimal support to the ankle. I do find it improves circulation and reduces my pain and swelling.

They are very very tight, but not much ankle support. I would think a specific ankle support type thing would be better.

It maybe, may I suggest small, ankle wraps/ braces to give you extra room. Hand wraps 180 or 108 inches for ankles. YouTube Muay Thai ankle wrapping, for better support on ankles and feet, prevent any injury ligaments, tendances, cartilages, especially brusing (flesh or bones) and soreness. Have healthy, safe work out. Take care, remember try to have fun, enjoyable workout and self defense.

Everyone medical condition and physical body type is different and/or can be slightly or have a large variance. For example I have ankle pain from a old sprain and a hairline fracture in the same area. I use this to support my issues, but after awhile, I have to take it off due to the continued pressure on my lower leg which could stop some circulation. I tried various other ankle support products out there, but this works for me. That is up to a point and it meets my other requirements as well e.g. cost, durability etc. Will it work for you, I can't answer this question for you. You might want to talk to a medical and/or ankle/foot specialist, or did what I did i.e. "trial and error".

It has good padding. But when I am on it my ankles aren't really the issue. It is the top pad of my foot that receives the most pressure. To correct that I just wear shoes while I am on it.

You can find this ankle brace at most sports stores. Dicks and Models carry it. I would try it on and see if you like it. You can still buy it on Amazon cheaper if you like the feel. I've worn one like it for years playing basketball and it is the only one I've found that works for me. My left ankle turns/sprains w/o it. I do not play any other sport anymore. I guess it would be ok but I andvise trying it out first.

I have never used it for my feet but I would say that it is. It my just go up to your ankles though.

No. As ankle supports go this one is good. The thickest part (still not real thick) is above a low cut shoe.

Especially if you have hand weakness or bad ankles, use short socks and stretchy material. Too long without curve for ankle to bend to get on leg. Best if sock only to ankle at most. There are assisting hooks to help pull up and down socks which I am looking into. this is not of use with calf length socks by itself with swollen bruised feet and ankles from a bad fall.

Yes.. you will be able to, but not for long as the ankle support is not cushioned enough, so it does start paining in few minutes.

Not at all! It has a little bit of pressure but doesn't cut off circulation.

I only use this brace when I'm exercising. If I sit on my legs, they do cut off the circulation as well as sitting for a long time in a chair. If I'm going to take a break from exercising, I usually will pull them down so that the bottom of the brace sits on the ankle and when I'm ready to start either hiking or playing tennis I just pull them back into place. I love this brace, one of the best I've ever worn.

The size chart is European; adapt your size to universal number. This support is EXCELLENT...can be chilled in frig which feels great on swollen ankles. Follow the mantra(rest) Ace. Ice, and Elevate

yes it would! I still use it as a ankle support while doing high endurance running on the treadmill. It is good for preventing ankle injuries!

I'm pretty sure it is 250, but I think anyone weighing 175 or more would find it very painful on the ankles when fully inverted. I weigh 150 and it is painful.

I am not sure I fully understand what you are asking. What I think you are saying is the active ankle for just one or a pair, the answer is it is just one. It works well if both your ankles are injured I suggest you buy two.
