Anyone have any idea on the appropriate size? Male, 6'1", shoe size 10-10.5. Also, can this be worn comfortably without shoes for beach vball?

I got a large. My shoe size is 12. Fits perfectly. You'll probably want a medium. For beach, I haven't tried. It might work, but I doubt it will be comfortable. It has moving parts, and if sand gets inside there, it probably won't be good. I do know somebody who has used a non-active ankle brace on sand (one of those cloth ones with lots of laces), and he says it was manageable, but the sand got everywhere.

Matthew - the size chart at Active Ankle states you would use a Medium. http://www.activeankle.com/images/stories/rigids_sizingchart/SizingChart_t1.jpg The bottom of the brace is plastic and quite slick on the floor. I always wear my shoe with it. Maybe in the sand it wouldn't be too bad as far being slick of course, but still not sure it would be comfortable.

i think it would be too big. that size is equivalent to shoe size 11-13. I have it for my son and his size 10 foot is still too small

I bought the exact same size as the shoe size. Seems like they are true to size. Good luck, and have fun!

I wear size 9 (Man) and got a medium which fits snuggly with this traction aid however I can see that it's possible that it could be pulled a bit more to fit size 10 however I'd personally go for large as these don't fall off. Hope this helps.

Hi Roberta,There is no sizing guide so I read all the other customer comments and went with what size people who sounded like my size got. I also went to a sporting goods store and tried one on. I think they actually carried the Bally brand. I know I'm not a tiny size 6 nor am I a plus-size woman so I went with a medium and it was a perfect fit.

mines about 8" and I chose the medium. It's not too tight on me so I would suggest a Medium for you as well. Your best bet is to go to Sports Authority or somewhere local where they have this item and try it on first. That's what I did before making my purchase at Amazon to save a couple of dollars...LOL :-)

M-L, im 10 and works for me, and a friend of mine is 10.5 and works too. The fins are a little stiff so, prepare for newbies blisters

I am also on the lookout for ankle support that would fit comfortably while wearing shoes. Found this here on Amazon and since they don't specify how to choose the size, I looked up the company itself. Their website says to measure around the ankle. http://www.muellersportsmed.com/archive/lifecare_contour_ankle.htm

Hello, I wear size 7 1/2 shoe. The arch in the ProFoot hits exactly where I need it to hit. However, I have a friend who wears a 6/12 shoe with the ProFoot and she says it's exactly what she needs. Apparently, these are related to the Magic Beans. It's cost is nominal so worth a try. I have velcro strips to more them from shoe to shoe. Hope this helps.

A 10 will provide some in and out room, I believe. I wear a 13 and ordered a 13. I fall in mine...very roomy in the feet and ankles.As for insulation. I use mine for pond cleaning in Florida. In the warm and hot months, even in the pond, it's a sauna in those rubber things! There's plenty of room for BULKY socks and long john's. No special padding or insulation with these. Also too. I have my suspenders set as short as they go - these seem to be fairly tall...they come up to my pits (5'10").So - 10 should be fine. No insulation.

As a guy I just use my shoe size as a guide and there is never a problem. For women, I do not know. If you have a narrow foot or heel, maybe you could purchase a thin scuba boot to take up the extra space.

i'd say you'd be good with a medium then. i am an 11 ...i know...big foot! lol!!! and i order the large and the x-l just in case. i use them both anyway so it doesn't matter....it's a great product. you will be happy with them and a great price too! :)

We bought them as gifts for baseball parents. We bought them for men & women. Not too sure of the fit. Sorry i wasn't much help.

The think the size is determined by the size of your leg, not your shoe. Medium should work

I found the 8 perfect for me (a male 8 1/2). The product has enough expansion & measures 10.5", toe-to-heel, sonot tight on the foot (my foot is 9.75"). Too loose in water activities is not a good thing.

I wear a size 7 to 8 (depending on the shoe) and the S-M fits me perfectly. My partner wears a 10, and it fits him too, but not as well. Their website says L-XL is for men's size 10 and up, and I'd say that sounds pretty accurate.

I went to Dick's Sporting Goods and picked mine up there. They carry the same brand. If you have one in your area, you could do that. The other option, go to the web site and read their directions on how to measure your ankle. I ended up one size down from what I thought I would be. If you have the sports store option, you can always take your shoe off and put it on top of your sock. If the price is better online, order it after testing the product size in the store. :)
