My son wore these on each ankle for his final football game as they were weak and he was able to play 99% of the game. These stopped from his ankles rolling.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good fit, strong support
Reviewed in the United States on August 29, 2021
I bought 2 different braces after my ankle gave out on me twice while building a deck. My ankle seems to roll sideways for some reason, so I thought I’d try wearing a brace.
I bought this brace and one called an ultra zoom. Both are good, but I like the way this one is so easy to put on; feels snug & secure, yet still allows for good movement; slips into my shoe easily; and is comfortable enough to wear all day. I usually don’t even remember that I’m wearing it. I have been able to wear it in my Xtratuf boots, but it’s a very tight fit.
I’m a biologist, so I’m frequently wading through streams, or walking over rough and sometimes steep terrain in the middle of nowhere by myself. Having a brace that I can rely on is critical.
So far I’ve had no further issues with my ankle, and I think the brace has done it’s job.
I wear a shoe size of 11 and got the medium size. My ankle circumference is 13”.
