A wrap, not a size. You set it.
Three Places To Pull
The top band and the two foot straps all set independently, so the fit is something you choose rather than something the size decides for you. A perforated panel over the ankle bone lets heat out, and the neoprene keeps the rest of the joint warm.

Open Heel, Full Movement
The heel comes through a large opening at the back, so the joint bends where it wants to and nothing is bunched under your heel inside a shoe. It is also the reason this ankle brace does not turn into a sealed pocket by the afternoon.

Six Steps, Nothing Threaded
Lay it flat, heel into the opening, fold the wings across the foot, cross the two straps, close the band. Six steps, none of which involve feeding anything through a loop while balancing on one leg.

Cross It, Then Pull
Because it is a wrap, the tension is a decision and not a size. Pull the straps out and back across the top of the foot until it feels right, press them down, and re-set them later if the day changes.

Warm where it wraps. Open where it counts.

Frequently asked
questions.
The questions people actually ask before buying one.
Measure around the arch — the middle of the foot — rather than around the ankle. One size closes on anything from 7.8 to 11 inches, which is up to 28 cm. Past that it will not close properly.
Yes, in most trainers and roomy everyday shoes. The open heel keeps the back of the shoe clear, which is where a closed brace usually causes trouble. Let the laces out a hole or two the first time.
Either works. Over a thin sock is more comfortable if you are wearing it for hours, and it makes no real difference to how firmly the ankle brace holds.
One. It fits either foot — the straps cross whichever way you send them — so order two if you want one on each side.
The straps are hook-and-loop and they hold, but neoprene warms and gives a little as you move. Most people give the foot strap one extra pull an hour or so in and then leave it alone.
Close the straps onto themselves so they do not grab anything, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent, and dry it flat away from direct heat.
