The lower part of my right ankle is becoming sore sometimes for no reason. Starting to worry and not quite sure if I want to see a Foot Doctor yet.

In the meantime tho, I think it's time I start using ankle support/brace for when I run or play basketball. I ball in Kobe's so I'm not looking for a new shoe, just support. Wonder if ya'll have some suggestions.

*Not trying to use tape, I used it in High School but I don't have time to be wrapping my ankles over and over in the morning.

i used to have the mcdavid ankle braces in highschool but i always felt they were restricting, once i started wearing the low to ground lowtop kobes (5/6/ i just tie them up tight and not worry about my ankles when i play

ankle support makes your joints weaker in the long run and when your ankle braces stop your ankle from twisting, the force shoots up to your knees or back. i have bad knees today from wearing ankle support in highschool

ASO's are usually rated as the best ankle braces, a bit pricey but if you feel comfortable playing with them on then its worth it

Really? No suggestions?

On a website that comments every 13 seconds Kanye West has some shoes on his feet I can't get some help from some of the few athletes on here?

McDavid 195 or ASO.

I've used both but i prefer the McDavids. Pretty much the same though.

I've sprained/rolled both my ankles maybe 100 times now. I've even torn tendons in my left ankle. Wore ankle braces for at least 10 years now and I must say the Adidas speed wraps (d rose braces) are the absolute best ones I've ever worn. Both in comfortability and in injury prevention/stability. Haven't rolled either ankle while wearing them since I bought them almost a year ago.

A good ankle strengthening workout is to stand on one foot with a dumbbell in each hand for as long as you can.

That's what I'm fearing, that I may have torn some minor tendons because this pain I have sometimes is so unnatural.

I've glanced at the Adidas speed wraps online and it looks like foam sleeve with a strap? There really that good? I need to try one on, I don't want to order without it. Where'd you find them?
