{"product_id":"ankle-brace-with-finger-loop-straps-lace-up-stabilizer","title":"Ankle Brace with Finger-Loop Straps – Lace-Up Stabilizer","description":"\u003cp\u003eHere is the thing nobody mentions about strapped supports: you can only tension a strap as hard as you can grip it. A flat webbing end between finger and thumb is not much of a handle, so most people get an \u003cstrong\u003eankle brace\u003c\/strong\u003e about seventy per cent as tight as they meant to and never know it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis one sews a fabric loop onto the end of each strap. Hook a finger into each loop, pull straight up, and you get your whole hand behind it. It is a five-cent piece of webbing that changes how firm the finished ankle brace actually is, which is a better return than most features on a page like this.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eUnderneath, this ankle brace is a proper boot. A lace runs up the front through the eyelets over a padded tongue, so the shape is set before any strap is touched. Then two wide elastic stabilising straps cross over the top of the foot, pass under the arch and come back to the sides in a figure-8 — the same path an athletic taping job follows, which is exactly what this ankle brace is imitating. A wide elastic cuff closes over everything at the top and keeps the strap ends flat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThree layers of adjustment sounds fussy and it is, the first two times. After that it becomes routine, and the reason to bother is that each layer does a different job: the lace sets the shape, the straps set the hold, the cuff keeps the ankle brace where you put it through a long session.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSizing on this ankle brace is unusually thorough for the category. Eight sizes, XXS through 3XL, off a published ankle-circumference chart, with a separate shoe-size cross-reference split by narrow, regular and wide feet. One thing to watch: this maker says to size \u003cem\u003edown\u003c\/em\u003e when you fall between two, which is the opposite of most ankle braces. Read the chart in the Sizing tab rather than assuming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is one ankle brace per order and it fits the left or the right foot, so there is nothing to get wrong on this ankle brace except the size.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Winslow Lane","offers":[{"title":"XXS","offer_id":43304394489933,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-XXS","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XS","offer_id":43304394522701,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-XS","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"S","offer_id":43304394555469,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-S","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"M","offer_id":43304394588237,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-M","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"L","offer_id":43304394621005,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-L","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":43304394653773,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XXL","offer_id":43304394686541,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-XXL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3XL","offer_id":43304394719309,"sku":"WL-ANKF8-3XL","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/4445\/6781\/files\/a5e04baf1b70fd2a504ae1f6296950fa.png?v=1784927882","url":"https:\/\/www.winslowlane.com\/products\/ankle-brace-with-finger-loop-straps-lace-up-stabilizer","provider":"Winslow Lane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
