{"product_id":"ankle-brace-sleeve-with-removable-strap-knit-compression","title":"Ankle Brace Sleeve with Removable Strap – Knit Compression","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere are two things people want from an \u003cstrong\u003eankle brace\u003c\/strong\u003e and they pull in opposite directions. Thin enough to live under a sock all day. Firm enough to be worth wearing when you are actually doing something. Usually an ankle brace does one or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe answer here is that the strap comes off. Underneath it is a 3D-knitted ankle brace sleeve with ribbed banding through the arch and around the ankle bone — light, breathable, open at the heel and open at the toes, thin enough to disappear inside a work shoe. That on its own is the everyday ankle brace.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen there is the strap: a flat band that lays over the top of the foot, passes under the arch and presses down on the side of the ankle. Add it and the same ankle brace holds noticeably more firmly, because the strap does not stretch the way the knit does. Four steps to put the ankle brace on, four seconds to take it off, and no tools or threading either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe sizing on this ankle brace is unusually specific, and it is worth reading. It is not sized on your shoe and it is not sized on your ankle: you measure around the \u003cem\u003earch\u003c\/em\u003e, the middle of the foot. Small covers 9 to 10 inches, medium 10 to 12, large 12 to 13. The maker is blunt about the edges, and so are we — land exactly on 10 or 12 inches and take the larger size.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is machine washable at 40°C, which most knit ankle braces are not honest about. Close the strap onto itself before it goes in so it does not grab the knit, skip the bleach and the tumble dryer, and the ankle brace comes back the same shape.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne ankle brace and one strap per order, and it fits either foot. If you want a second, order a second — there is no left and right to match up.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"S","offer_id":43304392949837,"sku":"WL-ANKKN-S","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":43304392982605,"sku":"WL-ANKKN-M","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":43304393015373,"sku":"WL-ANKKN-L","price":24.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/1ce71ebd223a63e820472b0b20adf3b9.png?v=1784927775","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/ankle-brace-sleeve-with-removable-strap-knit-compression","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
