Pro-Tec Achilles Tendon Strap

I ran my Saturday long run with a Pro-Tec Achilles Tendon Strap on my left achilles. I've had the strap probably over a year now and had only run with it once before I believe. I just remember it being tight around my ankle and I must've still been injured so I just tried it and stuffed it in a running drawer. I had to search for the product online before running to figure out how to wear it. A couple of miles into Saturday's run, I felt the tightness and considered removing it but kept it on. The tight feeling subsided and it seemed to really help support my left achilles tendon on the run.
I ended up wearing it on Sunday's run with Waldo as well. Same results with no tightness felt at all this time. I just ordered a second one for my right achilles as well. If they continue to help it could be a cheap fix for my achilles tendonitits recurring issues.

That little strap got me through TIR. Looks like we have another testimonial.
