I have a severe sprain and have been struggling with swelling and bruising. Since purchasing these, my foot has improved tremendously. I'm already on my second box, and planning on ordering a third. I have used them 6 days in a row now, today being the first day I haven't, and I already feel the pain coming back. Definitely recommended to anyone. However, I will say that i do hate having to take this bad boy off because it hurts so bad. But, I found if you use a wet rag while taking it off helps . Ive also loosen up a little, cut it, and rip the thing off like a band-aid. There is really no way to avoid the pain of taking it off, but with the results it's worth it. Read more
Sprained my ankle hiking 5 weeks ago. Ordered these to help me get back on the big mountain. It looks whacky BUT... it works like a charm. Hiked a 7 mile mt and ankle felt very stable! It is a little hard to peel n stick the outside tape as opposed to the inside but my husband helped me and I’ll probably have him help me again. I’ve been using pre cut strips for 3 weeks and they don’t work as well as this product does. Just read the instructions really well bc you stretch the tape at the base but let loose at the end where you adhere. If you keep it stretched to the end it hurts your skin (tugging) and or pulls away which makes it less supportive. Also... as with all kiniseolgy tape be careful when you remove. It’s VERY STICKY! Peel this one off the way you put it on. One piece at a time. It’s kinda hard to remove but worth the removal hassle. Read more
Worked to offer support, just want enough for what I needed, my issue was more than strain and needed surgery. Ease of putting in, held for a week even getting it wet in shower. Read more
The only downsides to this product is the price and the residue left on skin when removed. Read more
I'd definitely recommend over any other tape I've tried and have rebought it several times. The quality is A+ for the price and will last you longer than the cheaper rolls that you'll have to replace more often. I fractured my ankle a few months ago and my doctor recommended using sports tape to help after the brace, and this is by far the best one I've tried. I've tested out SB box and a few others off Amazon but nothing comes close to the stability this one provides. Especially since I have been swimming, I needed something that would last a few days and not have to be tossed out after a few laps every night. Plus this is the only tape that I've tried where the edges haven't come undone in 24 hours or less, and the precut design is also super convenient for getting support where needed. Read more
My product came crumbled up and not in a usable state. Have ordered before with little issues and in a nice box pack of 4. Only got 2 in this random bag. Read more
I’ve been wearing this ankle tape for a day now. Has worked well in helping to support both ankles & feet after sprains. Definitely feel the support as opposed to wearing nothing at all. Worked in the yard all day yesterday with taped ankles and ankles & feet did not tire near as easily. Wore socks on top & yard shoes still fit without any discomfort. This tape is semi-water proof. The top layer gets wet when showering, but layers underneath remained dry. I put the blow dryer on both feet to completely get tape dry. Says tape last 3-5 days, so I’m only on day 2. Will update review as time goes by. At this time, I would recommend & buy again. 3rd Day - Tape still has plenty of adhesive & working well for the support it offers. Had to watch the video several times, pausing between each step of taping, but that’s the recommendation & I would suggest watching video till you master taping so as not to waste tape. Read more
Day 2 of wearing Kinesio tape. (Typical pain level between 6-10 with no known prior ankle injury) Three scenarios 1) After sitting for lengthy periods on day 1 to light walking through home, I would give this method an 80-90% improvement between function of the arch of my foot to overall comfort/stability of my ankle. Minimal pain level at times on a scale of 1-10, maybe a 2-3. 2)Upon waking up first thing in the morning; standing to minimal walking through home, I would give this method a 60-75% improvement. The arch in my foot was much better but my ankle still had some stiffness and discomfort but it was much tolerable. I give the overall pain a 4. 3)When walking/on my feet for a few hours, I give this method an 80-90% improvement between the function of the arch of my foot to overall comfort/stability of my ankle. Pain level 1-2. You get 4 precut pieces. I would buy again and give it 2 thumbs up. I would recommend this product. It is waterproof. I showered with it on, it dried quickly, and never lost its form.
