The right support is important for recovery. Achilles tendinopathy can be slow to heal. It may happen from overuse, running, jumping, or a sudden stretch. The right support is important for recovery. A well-fitted Achilles tendon brace can make a meaningful difference – reducing strain on the tendon, improving stability, and helping you move with confidence again.

Targeted Support for Achilles Tendinitis & Tendinopathy

Our Achilles braces are engineered to:

• Reduce load on the tendon during walking and running
• Improve circulation to support healing
• Stimulate surrounding muscles for better foot and ankle control
• Relieve pain through integrated gel cushioning
• Support healthy gait mechanics during recovery

The AchilloTrain and Sports Achilles Support combine breathable compression knit with anatomically shaped pads that sit alongside the tendon. These pads help guide movement, promote blood flow, and disperse pressure – providing relief you can feel with every step.

Engineered for All-Day Comfort

Every brace is made from soft, durable 3D AirKnit that’s lightweight, breathable, and designed to minimise irritation around sensitive areas of the heel and ankle. Whether you’re returning to sport, managing daily symptoms, or rebuilding strength, these supports stay comfortable during long wear.

Anatomical Fit Backed by Research

We used data from over 500,000 people worldwide to create our sizing. This ensures each brace fits the unique shape of your ankle and lower leg. This anatomical precision ensures targeted compression, better support, and a secure fit – no slipping, bunching, or discomfort.

How do I know which one to choose?

When treating an Achilles injury, there's a few different ways to address the issue, depending on how yours has been affected.

  • Reducing strain on the tendon itself with a heel lift/cushion.
  • Using targeted gel support at the base of the tendon around the heel.
  • Using extensive massage support across the tendon and surrounding muscles.
  • Using medical grade compression to increase blood flow and speed up healing.
