I get swollen ankles during the day. Normally they are 9 inches wide. Will these give relief?

I think the ankle support would help your ankles. It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

I purchased this for relief of bursitis and tendonitis and it worked very well. I had swelling and tenderness which the Slimfit helped relieve. It only reaches right above the ankle though. Hope this helps.

I don't think they go up high enough to support the ankle. I use this to support a weak upper foot near the ankle. For ankle support, I think you would meet something that goes up higher onto the ankle. The main reason I purchased the Wellgate Slimfit was because it did not go high up the ankle as I didn't need support on the ankle itself.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

I think they would help. That's one of the reasons I wear these kind of support stockings. I spend a lot of time sitting and wearing these stockings keeps my legs and ankles from swelling which, for me, is the main cause of leg aches.

I had size 9 shoe but feet and legs were so swollen with lymphedema I could not wear any shoes. My feet and legs now have wraps on and the socks go half-way to the knee. Very comfortable.

Quite possibly. I wear shoes that range between 9.5-12 and they fit just fine. They stretch so unless you have swollen feet there shouldn't be an issue.

No. I bought them just for my ankles with the understanding that is what the product is for.

The way this product is designed you get compression equally at the ankle, heel and arch, which helps greatly if you suffer from plantar faciitis. I am not certain how that compression will feel if you have swelling, but I guess it would give some relief from the swelling if it isn't too tight...

Hi, I also wear 9.5 and I have the size medium splints. I love using them! I really think they help. If you have any other questions, don't hesitate to ask me! Happy healing!

I used to wear 8 extra extra wide, perhaps the same as 4E. I bought the narrower of the two sizes which were offered some years ago. I would put them on at night to hold down swelling that occurred during the day. They were fine for a few hours but I would need to pull them off before morning. More recently, I bought just one for the foot that still swells. I bought it in the larger size; it was too loose to help.

No, they won't help for that purpose. You might look at the gel foot pads put out by Dr Scholl. Most of the major drug store chains carry Dr Scholl products.

I would say no. I am on my feet all day and I wear support stockings with a short pair of crew socks over them and that solves the problem. By the way, when I bought Miracle socks on amazon, they were not near as tall on the calf as the ones I got from Walmart.I don't know why that is, but they were and I couldn't use them.

Yes! I also used these for my husband's shoes, he needed them a bit wider. I would recommend you leaving the stretcher in for more than just the weekend.

I purchased these for my mother (size 9.5 womens) who has extremely swollen feet. These socks are thick and stretchy. Since you are in the middle of the two sizes, I think the question becomes what are your personal preferences in terms of how high you want the sock coming up your calves. If you want them on the lower side I would get the 8-11.

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

They do stretch pretty good, you would probably be o.k. with the 8-11 size, unless there is a tendency for the persons legs to swell up..

They may be a bit large for that shoe size. When we ran out all but the large size at the hospital, I folded over the toe or the heel and put a small piece of tape arcoss it. Usually that held them for a day. These are more stretchy than those, and I think will work.

I would guess they would be wide enough as the fabric is quite stretchy. They are not a tight fitting sock.
