I was apprehensive; pretty sure this wouldn't work for me because I've tried so many before. Looked a little different, worth a shot. It's the shape and size of my legs, drumsticks. Just not going to stay in place. If someone would make a hard brace secured by Velcro or something similar and also with support brackets that go inside or around my shoe to push the brace up and keep it from sliding down that would be the ticket!
