Does what it Says on the Tin
After a bad ankle and foot sprain, I found this Donjoy support gave my foot enough comfort to give me confidence when walking and the required support.
The Donjoy Strapping Elastic Ankle Support has light weight support and compression. This support can be worn with or without the strap on either ankle.
The Strapping Elastic ankle support provides support and compression following acute and chronic ankle injury and instability. In addition, protective and prophylactic is offered for use for sports activities.
- Additional elastic strap for added compression and support.
- Latex free.
The size is measured directly around the ankle.

If you are on the borderline with a size, we highly recommend you opt for the larger of the two sizes.

I am recovering from turning my ankle on the football pitch and have found this ankle strap very helpful in my recovery. There is the option of just wearing the sock for light support or using the Velcro strap which can be fitted in a variety of ways for a much more solid support.
Pros: provides sufficient support without restricting movement. Cons: 1) Not too bulky when wearing running shoes but can be a little tight in football boots. 2) The velcro tabs are easy to lose so once you are comfortable with the placement, sew a few stitches just to keep them from falling off when you aren't wearing it.
