Ankle&Foot Ice Pack Wrap

Research many, many different gel ice packs for my achilles tendon injury. I needed something I could easily stick in the fridge and ice consistently everyday. I ultimately settled on the Aeris ice pack combo because it had the ankle boot into which you could add the ice packs. I thought it would be the perfect solution, but actually when you place the packs into their inserts, and then wrap the boot around your ankle - I felt it was too cold for prolonged use. So I ended up ditching the boot and just manually applied the ice pack around my ankles. It's closer to a traditional solution of physically holding an ice bag against your area of injury and going on and off as you please. I personally think old school methods such as these tend to be best anyways.I was also very pleasantly surprised that these ice packs can be microwaved! I was also having some upper back pain and placed these heated bags against my back. The relief was instantaneously euphoric! It's great to use to induce relaxation or deep heated therapy. But be careful - you shouldn't microwave the pack for over 20 seconds (as recommended on the packaging).Great product overall.

Product worked very well to relieve foot nerve pain at night. I wear it cold over a sock at night and it provides just enough cooling effect for about two hours. Worked so good I bought another so I could rotate them to get me through the night. Much better than taking pain medication with all their side effects!Update 1/17/2021: I now have purchased three of these ankle/foot ice packs which I rotate and they continue to be great in controlling my nerve pain. Unfortunately one night recently one of the packs split open. Fortunately the contents were contained within the boot. I contacted the supplier through Amazon about the mishap and within a day or two the supplier contacted me and promptly sent me (free of charge) new replacement packs. The boot was a bit messy inside which I cleaned out as best I could before inserting a new replacement pack. I believe the company stood by their product by sending me the replacement packs and would not hesitate recommending this product to others with similar nerve issues.

It fits nicely for myself, and my much smaller wife, and my much larger dad, and it stays cold for a long time. No fuss, no muss, just throw it in the freezer and take it out and apply right to the skin. No hassle!My only complaint, is that there are a few spots that dont have ice coverage. Its GREAT for Achilles, and plantar and arch, but you can even see from the image, where it doesn't cover. Still worth it for me, since it gets the overall area cold enough.

I have 2 breaks on my 5th metatarsal, as well as a sprained ankle, and this does a really good job in fitting on both areas and cooling equally. Much better than the bag of frozen peas! :) It does take a while to re-freeze though. I like to use it every 2 hours, so I place another soft gel ice pack inside every other time, and they're both able to re-freeze in 3 1/2-4 hours. Having a spare set of the packs sounds like a good idea, but I've used these soft ice packs for a while, and they always eventually fail if bent repeatedly in the same general area. Inserting and removing the packs often could lead to problems, so I choose my extra pack just wrapped inside and leave the Arris packs in their pockets. One other great thing about this wrap, is that I can squish the gel from side to side within the pack, and really target the areas I need to hit. This definitely meets all of my needs without being super expensive.8

I have purchased 3 different cold pack ankle wraps as both my wife and I have damaged ankles from playing sports in our earlier years. The Arris stays cold the longest and seems to get colder in the freezer than them all. It has 2 large velcro pieces that you can adjust loose or tight. I find that when my ankle has a painful throb, using it for 5 to 10 minutes it is gone and will keep it on for another 5 to 10 minutes to keep swelling down. My wife does not like how cold it is and will use a hand towel in-between her skin and the wrap. Can also be used hot but I have never tryed it.I did injure a muscle in my forearm and used this to keep the swelling/pain down. So you really can use in multiple places, such as your knee or elbow. I definitely would rate it 5 stars and recommend buying a couple if you find yourself prone to injuries....

The media could not be loaded. UPDATE: Purchased December 15,2021DISAPPOINTED… When I first received this ice/heat pack, it had ample gel in each pad and I was very satisfied with the ice and heat that the pack gave. NOW just shy of 2 years of usage…Due to ankle surgery, I used it a couple of times a week for a few months to once a week, just occasionally.Thought it would last a lot longer because my generic medium sized gel ice pack I got from the store is still as full as the day I bought it, which was before this one.

Very comfortable to fall asleep in. I have foot drop due to a stroke 17 years ago when I was 27yo. I’m a very active 44 yo mother of two. I recently broke that foot for the 2nd time.I got tired of constantly trying to get ice packs that weren’t made for feet to stay on.Thank goodness I finally broke down and got this! It freezes quickly and stays cold for a long time. It’s easy to put on and it feels so good at the end of the day to wrap my swollen and achy foot inside the cold soft wrap. I’m a side sleeper too and it doesn’t irritate my “good” foot.I love that additional ice packs can be purchased to use in the same wrap too. Very helpful when frequent icing is needed.I have nothing negative to say about this product and I’ve been using it for about 2 months. I totally recommend it!I haven’t tried it with heat.
