Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an ankle stabilizer and a brace?

An ankle stabilizer is a type of ankle brace with firm side support built to stop rolling. Ankle brace is the broader term that also covers sleeves and wraps.

Can I wear an ankle stabilizer in my shoes?

Yes, most lace-up, stirrup and semi-rigid stabilizers fit inside a supportive athletic or walking shoe.

Which ankle stabilizer is best for sports?

A semi-rigid or lace-up stabilizer is the most common choice for sports. Both limit rolling while letting the ankle bend to run and jump.
