I have cartilage tore out
I have cartilage tore out of ankle joint and hard to keep it straight, definitely helps hold the joint, it wont fit inside shoes without squeezing you foot unless you buy bigger shoes, couldn't wear it more than hour in a shoe, but in house it felt good without shoe, you learn to walk with it cause of padding underneath, definitely a helper on keeping ankle straighter. Lots of lacing.
Helpful?
