Product Description
Active Ankle and Cramer have been the leading names in ankle protection for the last decade. From the development of the original Model 80 figure eight brace to the innovation of the bi-lateral hinge; Active Ankle and Cramer have been at the forefront of innovation in the ankle brace category. It isn’t just ancient history – Cramer and Active Ankle continue that philosophy of innovation today with braces that are proven on the field and accepted in the training room.
From the manufacturer
Experts in Ankles
Active Ankle has been one of the leader in ankle protection for more than 25 years. Through extensive research and development, we have created a full line of braces and sleeves that aim to protect and minimize the risk of injuries for athletes of every sport and every level of play. Trust us to find the right brace or sleeve for you.
Active Ankle
A Brace for Every Athlete
At Active Ankle, our experts understand that the needs of every athlete are different. Some players need a brace that offers the most protection, some need a brace that offers the most mobility, and others are somewhere in between. This is why Active Ankle has developed a full range of ankle braces and ankle sleeve options. In order to find the right brace for each athlete, Active Ankle asks just two questions that every athlete can answer:
- What is the state of your ankle? (i.e. injured, weak/unstable, or normal)
- Based on your sport and position, what is your need for mobility?
Rigid Braces for Maximum Protection
Rigid braces offer the maximum amount of ankle protection to any athlete. These braces are ideal for athletes with weak ankles that have experienced injuries in the past. Rigid braces are also great for players who frequently jump and risk ankle trauma, such as front row volleyball players and basketball centers and forwards.
Lace-Up Braces for Moderate Support
Lace-up braces offer more comfort than rigid braces while providing the support and feel of a traditional tape job. Lace-up braces are ideal for athletes accustomed to a traditional tape job provided by athletic trainers. Unlike athletic tape that loosens with athletic movements and moisture, the laces and straps on these braces hold tight and can be easily adjusted if needed.
Ankle Sleeves for Maximum Comfort
Ankle sleeves are perfect for athletes with strong ankles looking for additional support in a low-profile design. When worn over a standard sock, ankle sleeves are barely noticeable during play and can even be worn without shoes. These unique ankle supports provide compression, prevent swelling, and increase blood circulation.

T2: Ankle Braces for Volleyball Players
While all of our braces are designed for a variety of sports and activities, the classic design of the T2 is what makes it our most popular brace for volleyball players. This rigid brace protects front and back row players during lateral movements, jumping and landing, and dangerous under-the-net contact. With a new and improved material that makes it 10 times more durable when compared to previous T2 braces, you can play with confidence that your brace can withstand the impacts and demands of competitive play.
Why Wear Ankle Braces?
|
|
|
---|---|---|
Protect & PreventAccording to the National Athletic Trainers’ Association, 15% of all sports-related injuries are ankle-related, making it the most common injury. Active Ankle braces are designed to minimize the risk of injuries that occur during competitive play, including contact with other athletes and other uncontrollable elements of every sport. |
SupportNo matter the ankle state and position on the court or field, Active Ankle has a brace designed to provide additional support to ankle muscles and joints. When players wear ankle protection, they’re less prone to injuries and can feel more confident in their movements. This allows them to focus on performance and play to their full potential. |
RecoverPhysical therapists and athletic trainers encourage the use of Active Ankle braces to help athletes with ankle injuries return to the court or field faster. The additional protection of ankle braces reduces the risk of reinjury and facilitates recovery. Athletes can return to play while resting assured that their ankles can withstand the demands of their sport. |

However, I had a bad ankle sprain during a league game in basketball and felt the need to get some protection (not going to compare low top vs high top basketball shoes here). After thinking about the braces, I remembered my volleyball teammates and gave them a try. Wow. I've been missing out. The brace has 2 sides with padding that go up to your high-ankle area. the 2 sides have large velcro which the 4+/- inch strap wraps around your ankle. you can tighten it pretty securely. i'll admit that I've rolled my ankle during games with these braces on but have not experienced anything severe that stopped me from playing the following week. KEY feature that i love is that these didn't restrict blood flow so there were no issues wearing these and tightening the strap to my comfort. The built in padding on the sides of your ankle is sufficient after getting used to it.
Awesome brace and highly recommended. I definitely would buy again (in fact, I lost one of my braces a few weeks ago and replaced it immediately).
**********************
UPDATE: 2014
i still have my braces and they still work wonderfully. one thing i want to mention is that some of the newer basketball shoes have a midsole cushion built as an insert to the shoe (for example, the Kobe 8, Kobe 9, and Lebron 11). i've used this brace recently with the Kobe 8 and tried to insert the brace UNDER the midsole (which is about 1 to 1.5 inch thick). the brace still worked fine and the brace was inserted below the midsole for added comfort.
still recommend!
Hopefully, by using this device, I can avoid surgery on my foot which is something no one wants.
I bought this brace because the brace I wanted, the Breg Ultra High Five, was $70 and this one was significantly cheaper. All said and done, I think I would have rather spent the extra on the Breg Ultra. The Ultra seems sleeker- I wore it for years playing sand volleyball inside Vibrams and it fit fine. Within a week of wearing this brace, it ripped my Vibrams coming out of the mouth of the shoe... This brace also has a discomfort in the arch of my foot, on the inside right in front of the heel.
All in all, if you are only wearing this brace occasionally, it is acceptable, and appears to be just as sturdy as more expensive braces. However, if you are going to spend any significant amount of time in them, my recommendation would be the Breg Ultra.
I feel safe walking while wearing this. It provides great stability by limiting the rotational movement but still allowing flexion and extension.

Hecha de material resitente y a la vez comodo me parece de muy buena duracion (en mi caso 3 años usandolo 1 o 2 veces por semana). Desde que lo use por primera vez ya no lo dejo.
Muy recomendable.
