Description
WHO IS IT FOR
The übertherm foot & ankle wrap is ideal for:
- plantar fasciitis, arthritis, tendinitis, gout, and orthopedic pain
- recovery from sports strains and sprains (such as ankle sprain)
- after-sports icing for athletes, dancers, and physical therapy patients
- recovery from arthroscopic procedures and Achilles tendon surgery
HOW IT WORKS
Using a patent-pending composite pocket material that slows the rate of cooling, übertherm cold therapy products protect you from the harsh effects of ice—cellular injury, nerve damage, brittle injury-prone muscles and tendons—while retaining the soothing, anti-inflammatory, pain reducing effects of cooling. Even a short ice burn can worsen the inflammation of a foot or ankle injury, so we keep the cooling just above that painful freezing point. Cooling without freezing is the trick to your body healing faster. For a more in-depth explanation on the science, please visit our Technology page.
HOW TO USE ÜBERTHERM FOOT & ANKLE WRAPS
Wear the foot and ankle wrap snugly directly on the skin for 20-25 minutes twice daily for best results. Since übertherm cold therapy products don’t overdo it, you can wear the foot and ankle wrap more often if that helps your pain. Increase compression to add a bit more intensity to the cold.

I had some questions about my heel pain and called and was able to speak to one of the owners / creators and he was so generous with his time. Not only is he is a medical scientist but a kind person who really took the time to listen. Product is 5 stars! Company is 5 stars!!

I have artritis in my toes, osteo. I need cooling to go to the toes, a nd this reaches to my first joint but mostly it’s the foot and the ankle that are reached. Giving this 3 stars.

I had ankle surgery and while at home with the ankle heavily bandaged I used a cold therapy system. A few days later I went to the office, but bringing the cold therapy system to work wasn’t practical. Now that the bandages are off, I was finally able to try out the Ubertherm wrap. It’s the perfect level of coldness and the wrap is just as good anatomically as the much more expensive cold therapy wrap. Super convenient to use in the office. I’m glad I spend the extra $ to get this!

This will cut your ankle injury time in more than half!
This will cut your ankle injury time in more than half!
I’m a delivery driver, I hop in and out of a big truck all day. Every once in a while, maybe 2 or 3 times a year I have a little miss step and roll my ankle, and OMG it hurts! I just did this again a few days ago, so I started looking for something that could help, and found this. I’ve used it for about 4 hours last night, and wow it helped so much! It stayed cool all night and kept the swelling down, it made my ankle feel so much better. I wasn’t even limping anymore. I really suggest this product, it’s a great design.

A bit bulky for my son
A bit bulky for my son
I got this for my 9 year old son after a sprain and it’s a bit bulky and is a bit too high up on his calf when he needs it lower. Works well but could be sized better for kids. Otherwise happy with purchase. Call and spoke to owners who are a small business and they were very nice people.

What a nice design, covers my entire foot. The long tension strap is great for adding pressure over my Achilles tendon. I wear 3 times a day with my foot up and the feeling is just great. Bought extra gel packs so I’m always good to go.

Using this after tendon surgery. Had to wait until the bandages were off, but not that they are I am loving it. Just the right amount of cooling and I use several times a day to calm the inflammation. Works like a charm. Super pleased with this!

A must for plantar foot pain
A must for plantar foot pain
This has been a great relief for my heel. I have had a case of plantar fascitis for almost a year and none of the inserts or gels have done anything. My podiatrist recommended this and I am feeliing better after only 1 week. One of the nicest products around. Highly recommend! – Stephen

This thing is really amazing. Fits like a glove and makes me feel so relaxed after a tough day on my feet. I was having heel pain and this was recommended to me and I’m very happy with the purchase. I will say that you can’t walk on this, but that’s not such a big deal since you’re supposed to elevate your foot anyway. otherwise it’s well worth the price tag.

This was much nicer than I expected, and works very well. A lot more expensive than a regular cold pack but really does the job and looks like it will last forever.

Awesome product!
This is such a beautifully designed and made product. I haven’t seen anything quite like it, and I’ve owned a lot of cold therapy gear. It covers 100% of my foot and ankle, but isn’t a puzzle to put on. I love how gradually the cold seeps in, not enough to burn but plenty of cold to calm my heel pain. Very effective and beautifully designed. 5 stars.

I purchased one of these wraps for my husband’s knee when they were still being sold on Amazon, so I was very happy to see they’re now selling something for the foot. Plantar fasciitis is a daily pain and having something which can reduce it even slightly has been a godsend. The wrap isn’t too bulky and seems to cover every area it might be expected to for people suffering in other areas as well.

Began using this for plantar fasciitis and it’s just really great! Actually feel better after using it and don’t have to constantly fiddle to make sure it’s on the right area or not freezing me to death. Not the cheapest product but it looks like most of the other quality ones and machines are just as expensive.

After almsot 7 months of plantar fasciitis I am finally slowly starting to feel some relief. I didn’t want to get a steroid shot so my podiatrist told me to try applying a bag of ice to my heel to control the inflammation, but ice made my foot stiff and I was sure I was making it worse with every step after icing, This product was a totally different experience, the cold wasn’t too much, and it lowered the pain almost right away. After 2 weeks of using it twice a day (I do 25 minutes each time) my heel is definitely starting to feel better, especially in the morning. You can’t imagine the relief of less heel pain until you’ve had this problem! Very pleased with this purchase.

I bought this for a maddening case of plantar fascia heel pain. I’ve been limping and walking on the side of my foot for almost a year. It hasn’t taken away my pain but my heel feels much better for a while after using. Happy. Would recommend.

This is an exceptional product and I can’t say enough about it. I’ve told my ortho MD and several of my friends. Everything about it is made to be excellent, from the stitching to the materials. The cold is just as advertised. I could not be happier. Strongly recommend!

What a beautiful design
What a beautiful design
It’s rare today to see such a beautiful product design that is also super functional. I have had Achilles issues in my left leg for the past year and tried a number of cold packs, but this one takes the cake. It’s not a tangle of straps and pads that you need instructions from Ikea to figure out, it just folds up and then fit perfectly. The cold is as described, not too much and very steady. I tend to tighten the tension strap pretty tight to get a lot of compression, and it’s thick enough to give me plenty. I’m very happy with my purchase and thankful to Ubertherm for making something that really helps me feel better

I really am feeling better after trying this cold wrap out. I’ve been suffering from Plantar fasciitis and just getting out of bed in the morning has been hell. My pain isn’t gone entirely but using this wrap lets me feel closer to normal than I have in a long while. I’d definitely recommend giving it a try if you are dealing with the same condition or any other foot/ankle pain.

So easy to put on! I wasn’t sure how it would work at first but it just wraps around your foot and ankle and fastens in a really comfortable way that covers everywhere I was hurting and – I assume – places other people might be hurting!

Great for my plantar fasciitis!
Ive had this product for four days now and I couldnt be happier with it. The inflammation in my foot every morning is actually starting to go away – at least in part – and it wasnt a miserable ordeal to get there. A lot of cold remedies get too cold to use them for a long time and feel like youre holding ice cubes to your skin. This wrap feels like a thick sock keeping the pain out while still letting the cold in. Im not better yet and theres more I have to do to get there, but Im glad I have this to help me do it.
Lydia (verified purchase) –
Easy to put it on in a way which gets the cold on my ankle and the bottom of my foot. Can’t exactly run around in it but I can see how it would be useful for anyone with any kind of pain in the entire area. Stays cold for more than half an hour and the material stops it from being uncomfortable to wear. Pretty happy with it so far. Would recommend.

Foot/ankle cold wrap
Foot/ankle cold wrap
I suffer from achilles tendinitis (pain in the back of my leg and heel) as a result of my dancing. Over the last few weeks I’ve tried out a number of cold therapy products to treat my pain and inflammation. Having had this for a few days now I can say with some certainty that it is one of the best I’ve seen. The design is simple but effective, allowing the cold to cover all the areas you’ll want it to. The material is comfortable to wear and even with the gel pack getting quite cold it never feels uncomfortably so. I plan to recommend this product to others should they need something like it. Not happy I need it but happy I found it.

As a soccer player I’ve hurt my ankle more than once. Nothing I’ve tried has helped my recovery like this awesome product. I bought the spare gel back so that I could wear it just a little bit longer when I need it. The cold is so comfortable on my skin that you can wear it for ages and not start hurting.
