Can these be worn while playing basketball, or are they to be used after you already have an ankle injury?

Yes, and I highly recommend it for anyone with a tender ankle. After rolling my ankle last year I had a hard time jumping off my left ankle out of fear, but when I started using the Aso supporter is gave me the confidence to do it. It's the best ankle supported I've used thus far. Hope this helps

Yes. My son play outfield for his HS team and speed is essential both in the OF and running the bases. Does not restrict his running ability for a 2 hour game and offers great ankle support.

I sprained my ankle pkaying basketball, and once it was healed although to get back out there I wore this for added assurance. I still wear it whether I play tennis, bball or any other sport that requires quick lateral movement. Highly recommend this product as a preventative brace.

The brace seems similar to those used for football. I do not know about for basketball. I would use it for hiking, provide a sleeve was worn under the brace. No tension on the hinges.

I only use mine for playing basketball indoors, so I have no idea if they will hold up under the conditions you plan to subject them to. I find them to be great for indoor use.

I used these after my bunion surgery. Think about where your own bunion pressure points are. You may need to consult a dr.

My son and several teammates and opposing players use them for basketball and like them. As for older players I can only surmise the compression helps stabilize the knee. I wear compression sleeves myself on my knees every night and these seem of similar quality. Hope that helps

It may work I brought mine for a ankle injury. To keep my ankle stable and compressed because I work in a kitchen for 9 hours on my feet.

The bandage is "coadhesive" meaning that it sticks to itself but not really to you. As long as the bandage stays reasonably clean, it does pretty well. If you use it for basketball, make sure that you tuck the loose end under so that it isn't pulled away in play. Don't expect to take it off and reuse it. Once it gets anything on it, it won't re-stick well enough for this kind of activity. Be careful when you wrap it as it is easy to get it too tight. It is a delicate balance between tight enough to handle the play but loose enough that you don't lose some circulation.

yes. The ones that I have are with red logo in front. That being said, my son has the "older" version and there really is no difference. I have been very pleased with these supports. Keep in mind, these will provide excellent support, but no device will completely prevent you from a potential injury. I would assume if you are playing at a very high level, you will still need to tape your ankles too.

It doesn't restrict your movement, it just adds more support to your ankle. I hope this answers your question

I would say you can, I wear it with my high top sneakers while playing ball. It was a matter of breaking it in and after that you forget it's there. I would imagine your boots have been broken in so that'll alleviate that part. I would recommend wearing the brace and boots around the house to get things going. It is a thin brace with great support, I would suggest you go with this over any other brand as I did my homework and shopped around. Good luck!

For a serious ankle injury or surgery I would recommend the tall boot; it immobilizes the ankle more fully. After my ankle surgery, and even now when my ankle flares up badly, I wear my tall boot. I wear the short boot for minor ankle pains and flare ups (I periodically get gout inflammations) because the short boot is more mobile and convenient. I also see people wear the short boot for foot issues.

These are umpiring guards so they are made to wear underneath. If you wanted to use them for catching they could also be wore on the outside. You want find a better pair for the price.

Yes, but they would look funky, bulky, and, frankly, unprofessional. I would try soccer shin guards. Nobody would even notice you have them on with good protection. I took at line drive to the shin during an open class softball game last season so I get the want for them. I still have a lump from it. I wore soccer shin guards the rest of the year, both plate and bases, for slow pitch.

I would say no. It is better used to wrap around a pole, like smething on your weight bench, and then your ankle. Bring your leg back and exercise your muscles using the resistance the band creates. You can also step into the band each end wrapping around your ankle, and walk sideways across the floor and back, again using the resistance to strengthen muscles. That's how I use them. Good luck.

I don't think that's what this is meant for. This is so you can keep hockey socks from falling down. There's a clip on each end to connect to the socks. I don't even know what you'd attach it to for basketball or football or running.

Actually, they can be worn during any physical activity. Since I'm a gym rat they work great during interval or circuit training. Try them either way and I'm sure you'll be pleased.

I do use them for tennis. But then I have really expensive, supportive tennis shoes on, like asics gels on. My problem is more my knees, so with these it corrected the supination that I have, so my knees hurt less. The asics, and the prince T22's and the nike shoes I wear keep me from having ankle problems.
