I've bought rollerblades and they do not support my ankles and I feel very wobbly. How are these for ankle support?

These have nice ankle support. I am an active person, so I'm not sure if having more developed leg muscles is the reason for feeling stable butt, all in all, you feel secure while blading.

It's definitely something you'll have to build up. Also, with softer wheels, such as the ones that come standard on these, it'll be more difficult on asphalt or uneven surfaces. If you have any bike paths, I would suggest starting out there to build up your ankle muscles. I noticed my legs bowing at first so I would say these have lower support than some other brands. Hope that helps!

They're great for volleyball & jogging- so I am going to say yes for tennis.Good support to prevent rolling I the ankle without being to confining or too tight.I hope that helps!

No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either. I had major heel surgery back in early Sep last year and still in rehab with more ankle and Achilles pain now than in my heel. I'm trying out the cheap products to avoid overspending on things that Tricare won't cover and I may not need down the road. I bought this product, hoping that some of the compression would help me out in the Achilles. It doesn't. The ankle gel foam would get 3 stars maybe 3.5 max. Also, I've noticed some pain in my plantar which I didn't have before. Of course, my situation is different than yours, but I hope this helps. No- and I'm not really sold on the ankle support either.

The cross straps provide excellent support in comparison to standard lace up braces. I weigh 275 so stepping on someone's foot can put quite a bit of stress on my ankle. Standard lace up braces are good for some support but have never helped me much in injury prevention. Given I recently broke my ankle the additional straps were a must. Hope this helps

I am also on the lookout for ankle support that would fit comfortably while wearing shoes. Found this here on Amazon and since they don't specify how to choose the size, I looked up the company itself. Their website says to measure around the ankle. http://www.muellersportsmed.com/archive/lifecare_contour_ankle.htm

only exceptionally light support unless you get one smaller than your arm which i do not suggest. you could cut off the toes of a tube sock if thats what you want..... :/

Yes, They also work great for football cleats too. I haven't had any ankle issues. Not to bulky.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles. It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

If you have bad ankles, this ankle brace with work. I have a bad Achilles for years because of having really bad flat feet. I went to all kinds of orthopedics with no success. One orthopedic recommended these and I have been using them ever since (2 years). I can't walk without them. Excellent product!

Yes you can use for ankle too. But watch out the sand leak all over the place. I used the "Nayoya" weights better then the Reebok brand. You may search here Amazon find the reviews and price.

I didn't like the Water Gear ankle weights. I found them uncomfortable. I bought All Pro adjustable ankle weights, which I love. They are very comfortable and adjustable in 5-ounce increments up to 2.5 pounds per ankle.

Hello I am not positive what the support level would be but I was very heavy, am very flat footed, plus my ankles have given up and are weak. Wearing these supports help me exercise and get through an eight hour day, I hope this helps.

I am partially paralyzed and use these to build up strength with leg exercises. They're kind of 'poofy' but you CAN cinch them pretty tightly with the velcro straps so they dont slide up and down. They're larger and bulkier than ankle weights which are a pre-set weight though. I think for running or walking I'd prefer something a bit more sleek. These are perfect for my stationary exercises, but I don't think I'd choose them for running. Just my personal preference. Hope this helps!

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

It is very true that these rollerblades run small. We originally bought them, in the "1-4" size for our 6-year old who was then just into size 12 shoe. They fit her from the first day and lasted for two years until she became a size 3 shoe. At that time we bought the next size up, the "5-8" and she is still wearing them and is not even a size 4 shoe yet. Her little sister (size 12) inherited the 1-4's and wears them at the smallest adjustment. So while they may not be exactly right for your 10-11 daughter right now they will fit her soon and will then fit her for a good few years. It is very true that these rollerblades run small.

Hello there... well the ankle supports come in S, M and L sizes I believe... the thing is that I'm a skinny dude so the M fit pretty well on my foot and ankle... but on top are kind of loose... so If you're not skinny it shall fit good...cheers!

Without knowing all the details of your age, weight, physical health etc it's hard to say exactly. But if you are wearing shoes and have the table and ankle supports set/adjusted properly, you may just have weak ankles. When you are doing a complete inversion 100% of your body weight is being supported by your ankles. You may just have to work up to complete inversion before your ankles can support the weight.
