 This skeptic is convinced! Mar 02, 2008
By Heavenlight
Like night and day! I have suffered from horrible achilles tendonitis for YEARS, and this is the first product that actually provided relief. As a large but extremely active lady (dance classes and martial arts six days a week!), I was fed up with being told by various doctors that maybe I was just "too heavy for those types of activities." Upon first examination of this product, I thought it looked kind of cheap, but figured that for the price I could afford to take a chance. Thank goodness I did! As for the quality, I've been wearing them six times per week for the last 6 months and washing them (by hand) twice weekly, and they are still going strong! I am once more tapping, leaping, and kicking up a storm. I wear them barefoot for Tae Kwon Do (they stay in place wonderfully), and with my shoes for dance. I would definitely recommend giving this product a try.

I've had Amazing Results with this Sep 11, 2007
By sparxx
I suffered for most of this year with sore Achilles tendons, sometimes so bad I couldn't walk properly. I am into martial arts and it became very depressing, having to choose between not training at all and worsening performance when I did. After getting a pair of these tendon straps on Saturday morning I put them on and went to my usual class - I had been leaning towards giving it a miss as my tendons were very stiff and sore at the time. The straps were quite uncomfortable to start with, but after the class the pain had eased a lot. I went for a long walk that afternoon, and by Sunday morning the pain had all but disappeared. One week on I'm totally free of any pain in my tendons, and starting to resume things like skipping and jumping kicks which I used to cringe at the thought of! I can only say the results have been miraculous, and if you suffer from Achilles tendinitis you should definitely give these a try.

It works! Feb 08, 2008
By J. Madge
I have a tight Achilles tendon, which I'm slowly improving with stretching. However, for years I have not been able to walk for longer than half an hour without excruciating pain in the back of my left calf. I just tried this support out tonight, and did an hour of brisk walking on the treadmill with barely a twinge. It's very comfortable and fits easily in my athletic shoe. Highly recommended!

Does the job!! Jan 26, 2010
By Dickie Mac
I'm a regular club tennis player and have had achilles tendinitis issues for a few years. So much so, that I recently consulted with a doctor about a surgical remedy. In any event, I purchased the Pro-Tec Support product and it has worked extremely well. I waited two months to write this review and have used the support three times a week. Have had no further problems! Definitely worth trying.

Worked for me Dec 28, 2010
By Charles
My podiatrist diagnosed me with achilles tendonitis and sold me an expensive ankle brace with lots of straps. It worked pretty well, but it was such a pain to put it on, adjust it just right, and then go, that I found myself not using it.
This support is much better. It takes no longer to put it on than a sock, and it provides the right compression on my tendon to let my ankle heal itself. I've been wearing it for two weeks now, and the daily pain I was having is basically gone again.
The size is ok for me, it's tight but not uncomfortably so. I could see it being a problem if you have larger ankles. If you're looking for a sizing guide: the neoprene part that wraps around your ankle is 10 inches long without stretching, plus the velcro overlap. It can stretch to 12 inches, or you can get another 3/4 inch by not completely overlapping the velcro. Either way, it won't be as comfortable. My ankle is 9.5 inches in circumference, and I find it comfortable to wear every day.
