Sports Ankle Support
- Stabilizes the ankle to relieve pain and help prevent excessive strain

- Figure-8 strap system offers individually adjustable level of stability
- Indications: medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints), ankle sprains and strains, pain and swelling
Stabilizes the ankle and relieves pain during activity.
The Sports Ankle Support's figure-8 strap system provides individually adjustable stabilization similar to athletic taping. It’s more durable, easier to apply and seamlessly fits inside shoes, while also maintaining its stability during rigorous activities.
Effective Relief From Shin Splints
Medial tibial stress syndrome, also known as shin splints, is a common source of pain for many runners and athletes. Its contributing factors include ankle laxity, previous injuries or repetitive stress on the tibia and the connective tissues that attach surrounding muscles to the bone.
The Sports Ankle Support stabilizes the ankle without changing its natural gait or limiting the range of motion. This enhanced stability reduces the stress on the tibia, thus relieving pain. A clinical survey found that the Sports Ankle Support brought the average pain level by shin splints from 7.8/10 to 1/10 after just four weeks.
Enhanced Breathability, Compression and Comfort
Bauerfeind’s AirKnit fabric is lightweight, breathable, moisture-wicking and washable, which allows you to comfortably wear the Sports Ankle Support time after time. Its textured compression stabilizes the ankle while allowing maximum freedom of movement, making it ideal for walkers, runners and athletes of all levels.
The AirKnit fabric provides targeted compression to increase circulation and absorption of swelling. It reduces joint, tendon and ligament loads throughout use while improving proprioception, which can translate to improved confidence and reduced injury rates.

I rolled my right ankle playing sports really badly when I was younger. Now I play in college and had an incident where a teammate fell on my ankle and really messed it up for a couple months. THIS brace has saved my ankle. I never fear rolling my ankle or have ever had even a close call. I played a couple times without it and almost rolled my ankle again. I never go to practice without this brace anymore. No worries when I have it on.

Got rid of my ankle pain after first wear
I run about 5 days a week in my distance and Crossfit-style training. I started to get pain in my right ankle and was looking for a high quality sleeve/support. This support did the trick. It completely removed my ankle pain after my first run with it, and I have since then used it for all my running activities. It has yet to show signs of wear even after a month of heavy use--a true testament to its German engineering.

Ankle support is amazing, used it for a week straight
This ankle support is amazing. I have used it for a week straight everyday all day and because of the material and how it is manufactured it had no smell at all. I wish these would have been around back in the late 90's when I was playing sports because it feels like you have been taped up by a trainer. Highly recommend well made quality product.

Wonderful brace
After I had slipped and sprained my ankle, I really needed something that would help me recover fast. Was tempted to buy one of those cheapy ones after I seen the price and was going to shy away, but something told me to just splurge and get it. Very nice product. The material and the straps just seem so nice and more sturdy and durable than the store ones. At first because my ankle was swollen, i thought the medium was the wrong size. But literally after a couple of hours, I was able to walk to the bathroom. I have read to not wear it to bed, or more than 5 hours straight, just to keep the circulation going. Overall excellent product.

Just what I needed
Tore some ligaments and chipped the bone on my ankle and I needed a comfortable support to resume my hiking, jogging, etc. Did some research online and this seemed to be what I wanted and I was not wrong. I have worn this for over 9 hours hiking in the mountains and it is so comfortable and has excellent support. I ended buying a second one, because I am constantly wearing one and washing and drying the other one. LOVE IT!

Great design and material!
I broke my left ankle on 10/22/16 and had ORIF surgery on 10/31/16. I needed something to help with the rehab and physical therapy that is ahead. This brace has helped already and I have not even been released by the doctor yet. It has helped with the pain and swelling. It is also a great way to keep ice packs from being placed directly on the skin. I am looking forward to walking again and I know this brace will help a lot. It is high quality material and great design.

Top Quality
I'm coming off a nasty ankle injury and I needed peace of mind with a good product that I could trust. I learned about this brand after reading Kobe Bryant was using this company for his knee brace and it piqued my interest. I bought the knee brace and it was awesome. Great feel and great fit. So naturally after my ankle injury I looked to find an ankle brace and came here first. I saw this new line of sports products and didn't flinch. Got my ankle brace put it on and I can easily say the comfort, breathability and piece of mind I have when wearing this product are top notch for me. I get hurt all the time and if I could I'd buy all the product to just have it at the ready. I have back issues and I want to try the back brace as well. Thanks Bauerfeind for quality products. If you ever need a guinea pig to try any prototypes I will gladly volunteer.
