- What is the bar made out of? I play rugby and can't have metal at all. Also, I know it says 5-8.5. I'm a size 6 and I find all 'small' braces are still too big. Will it fit snuggly on a size 6 in a cleat?
- It is made of plastic. Yes it will fit
- at 2/26/2016 2:02 PM
- Does the bar that is on the medial and lateral sides wrap under the bottom of the foot?
- Yes the medial and lateral support does connect underneath the foot. It's low profile, flexible and doesn't compromise comfort.

- How does this compare to the Aircast A60 in terms of support? I have a partially torn peroneus brevis and although the A60 is usually sufficient, at times it isn't quite rigid enough. Also, I wear the brace in non-athletic shoes, so bulk is important to me as well; how does this compare to the A60 in terms of how "wide" it is?
- Donna
This brace is the same bulkiness as the A60 and the same support level. If you want something more supportive the next step would be either the Airsport Ankle brace of the Don Joy Stabilizing Pro Ankle brace. The Stabilizing Pro is less bulky than the AirSport.

- I have two active teenage and pre teen girls who from time to time have rolled their ankles . They want to wear low profile basketball shoes so I wanted to try a brace to prevent injuries. How would this one work? Can it be worn under a sock? Thanks
- Mellisa
All of our ankle braces should be worn over socks. This brace is for mild ankle support and is low profile. Should fit into their shoes
- at 8/17/2015 3:08 PM
- Is there a stabilizer on the inner side as well?
- Yes there is a rigid upright on both sides of the ankle
- at 6/16/2015 8:02 AM

awesome brace for post-sprain
My 13 yr old daughter used this brace after a severe ankle sprain and it has been wonderful for her. She felt amazing support and was able to walk with it on only 3 days after crutches do to the side support she felt while wearing it. We walked all over NYC and she didn't complain about it once. It was snug and didn't rub or bother her at all. It was just what she needed before transitioning into a "sock" brace as she eased back into her dance training.
Pros: great stability, easy to use

very comfortable
This brace is comfortable but still has very good support. I have used it for several different sports.
Pros: Comfortable. Good support.
Cons: Difficult to get on and off. Would not be good for a fresh injury, but it works great as added support once the injury has improved enough to resume activities.

Great Product
Recently rolled my ankle on the golf course. Bought the Donjoy Bionic ankle brace and it really added a great deal of support. Was actually able to walk almost normally within a few days while wearing the brace.
Pros: Supportive, lightweight, comfortable, inexpensive.
Cons: Since the sleeve is a pretty tight fit, putting it on a sore swollen ankle can be a little painful.
Not a big help
It did seem to help some but when I tried to walk across the beach in the sand. My ankle continued to roll quite often. So for me not that effective
Pros: Helpful on flat ground
Cons: Not effective anywhere else

Be safe and order s size up
Ordered this brace, came within 2 days as shipment stated however I wish I took more consideration reading reviews.
Pros: Durable and gives support, not bulky
Cons: Very snug and if you have an injury it is painful to put in and take off . I have narrow feet and I ordered based on my shoes size and it is very hard to wear not to mention painful

Increases support, permits return to physical training
I suffered calcaneous fracture and complex ankle fracture, requiring multiple surgeries with titanium implants. This resulted in much swelling, ankle weakness, and reduced my level of physical activity. With this brace and orthotics, I resumed physical training, lost weight, and increased my independence!
Pros: Lightweight, easy to wear and washable. Fits many shoes.
Cons: Ankle may swell if worn too long.

Hi Tierney, thank you for your feedback. Sorry to hear that this product was not ideal for you. The Bionic fits most shoes but not all shoes. We recommend trying the Trizone Ankle Sleeve. -Customer Service

Great support!
The brace gives great support while being sleek in the design. I have had a devastating injury and this helps a lot. The only issue I have is the sizing goes by shoe size but it's very tight. It works but a little hard to get on and off.
Outstanding product for use after ligamentous ankle injury!
Had torn the medial tibial ligament of my right foot which had put me out of commission for close to one year. Following recuperation, I was experiencing temporary return of pain every time I would try to work out, despite trying different types of able braces. However, after starting to use the bionic ankle brace, I was able to accelerate my work-outs and sports activities to my original levels with only minimal temporary discomfort. Truly a life-saver!
Football Coach says YES
I have coached youth football for 29 years and seen a lot of sprains in my day. This is best, most comfortable ankle brace out there, per my players. I have a kid who prone to sprains, so he wears his to every practice and game, it does reduce the chance of re-spraining, due to its construction. I highly recommend this product.
