Ankle Lok Ankle Brace works for me
The Swede O Ankle Lok Ankle Brace has enabled me to go for walks with confidence. Having sprained my ankle repeatedly over my life, I hesitated to go for walks fearing my ankle would give out. Since using it the past 2 weeks I have gone for daily walks and am beginning to regain strength and stamina. Thank you for this supportive product.
No more sprained ankle
The Swede-O Ankle Lok Ankle Brace is comfortable, fits easily inside my shoe and gives me confidence to walk. My right ankle has been sprained at least 6 times and the ligaments are not stable. Thanks to the Swede-O ankle support I have started walking daily again. Thank you for a well made functional product!

Glad to hear the brace is helping you!
Perfect ankle support
I myself had used one of these ankle supports years ago, and when recently my husband chipped a bone in his ankle, I knew this was the support to get to help him. He just had an appt with the orthopedic surgeon and he said this is exactly what he would have prescribed for him to wear.
Perfect
My merchandise I order was sent to me on time and in good order.
Addicted to them
This is simply the best product for bad ankles. I haven't injured my ankle since I started using this brace. It's comfortable and and protects very well.
Swed-O Ankle Lok Ankle Brace
I've used the Swed-O Ankle Lok Ankle Brace for about 20 years. I've used braces from other manufacturers, none of them even come close to the Swed-O Ankle Lok Ankle Brace. I would recommend them highly - there's no brace better.
Provides great lightweight support
I've been using the Ankle Lok since I was a teen so I've used this brace for a long time - won't use anything else. It laces up easily and it provides great protection inside my shoes without a lot of bulk. I needed a new pair as my last ones lasted about a year. Very durable; very good support.
Great fitting, excellent customer service
First of all, I tried 2 ASO's from another online vendor, but they are too big for my 5-5.5M foot. So the ASO's have to be returned. Swede-O Ankle Lok fits me much better. The sizing chart seems true to size. The brace gives me the exact support I want.Secondly, I ordered this brace on Wednesday for my outing event on Saturday, given my ankle is still recovering from a recent injury, and my doctor officially orders not to participate any athletic activities for a month :-(( . I chatted with DME-Direct online before placing the order to make sure I would get the brace in time. The brace was shipped the same day, and delivered on Thursday so that I had a chance to wear Swede-O for the whole Friday before my outing on Saturday. Great product. Excellent customer service. Definitively recommend DME-Direct to everyone who sees this post!
Best brace out there
Last pair lasted a year with almost constant use. These are thin enough to fit into basketball shoes with minimal adjustment to shoe lacing. I think these braces are a must for girls (as they tend to have a lot of ankle injuries vs. boys).
Great support for weak ankles!
I was given one of these over 20 years ago and have been using it ever since! It finally started falling apart after all the softball games, marching band drills, and weak spots. I love this! If you have a weak ankle, this will give you the support you need! Better than anything the doctor can give you!
