Max Support Ankle Sleeve

Incorrect size chart or product not built to spec

I ordered two mid-support and one max-support ankle sleeves in the same size - for 8. 75-9. 5 ankle circumference. The max-support was way bigger than the mid-support sleeve, the fit was loose, felt no compression at all. I called Customer Service who said that it may have just been a bad item, so they processed an exchange. When I mailed back the item, I even included a side-by-side photo of the mid-support and max-support sleeves to show the disparity. Got the replacement and it was still bigger. I haven't had sizing issues with CEP products I've bought in the past - socks, shorts, pants, knee sleeves, etc. But either the sizing guide for this max-support ankle sleeve is wrong, or production is messed up and it runs big.

This is a great sleeve that gave me more ankle support as I recovered from a grade 2 ankle sprain. The product fits true to size. I would recommend measuring carefully and not sizing down, it stretches just enough to get it on but if you sized down for a tighter fit it probably wouldn't work. I ordered both the mid support ankle sleeve and this product, not sure which would work best for me. For me the most salient difference isn't the level of compression (they're similarly tight), it's that this one, the max support ankle sleeve, has two channels of padding along the sides. These provide additional support but mean that the sleeve won't fit under certain shoes (fit fine under sneakers but not dress shoes or lace up boots). The other sleeve fit under all my shoes.

Bought the max support ankle sleeve for my loved one who had ankle strains. It was big help. Pain reduced within a day of wearing it.
