I am a hockey player and I hurt ankles over the last year. I am looking for a brace to wear inside my hockey skates to prevent injury, will it work?

You would most likely have to use a larger skate but it would definitely be worth a try.

If it isn't as snug as you'd like it to be, you can pick up a simple ACE (or whatever brand it is) bandage wrap from the dollar store and wrap your foot for compression and to give it a bit more bulk before putting it into the ACE Deluxe Ankle Stabilizer for added support and stability. That way it probably will fit just fine, quite snugly. Hope that's helpful.

You might try the extra large elastic brace, that is the size I have & I wear a size 10 shoe. Brace fits fine in my shoe even with a sock.

For sports, I would purchase something more robust. I have bad ankles and I wanted something more than an Ace elastic sleeve.

I bought this brace and cant even wear it . It is made of cheap pvc and in my opinion would break easily. It was a waste of money for me and my injuries were also sport related. It provides no support or stabilization. Hope this helps u

yes, you can. We bought the ankle braces for my daughter and she wears them for all her volleyball practices and games.

It can, if you wear it too long and/or are sitting for any length of time. I would think that's true of any brace. I wear mine to play golf. I've learned to put it on AFTER I get to the course; and take it off immediately once I'm done playing. The first and only time I put it on at home and made the 20 minute drive to the course, it was quite uncomfortable. As an extreme example, I cannot imagine wearing any knee-brace on a flight of any significant length of time. Forget comfort, that has to be dangerous to your health.

No Courtney it will not. Its only to prevent irritation from your brace. By wearing it under.

Yes it is a good brace for sports. You can adjust how tight it is on your leg depending on your activity. The hinge itself is a bit restricted, but in a good way. It keeps the bending from being too "easy" and helping with keeping the injury stable. I would recommend wearing this for sports.

Chris, I don't see any issue with it fitting into a Ankle or higher boot. I think it would work fine for that. I didn't even consider that until you asked. Great idea.

This brace has a hard material along the outside of the thumb, which might protect you from pain. However, depending on the type of injury you have, the hard material might also cause pain if bumped. I suggest that you buy it and try it. If it doesn't work, return it. I believe if you say the reason for return is that the product does not work, your return shipping is free. You might check that with Amazon first.

I don't think that this would be a problem. To release the ankle braces one just pushes down on the bar that runs up between the shins. If your back is in such bad shape that bending over with straight legs is a problem, then there might be an issue. For me its been very easy to get in and out safely - I use it twice a day, it takes seconds to get in and out.

Secured via a single elastic strap in the middle of the shin guard. The straps work fine, I use mine all of the time without any problem. I would suggest using a little bit of medical tape around the ankle to keep them from slipping down.

Absolutely! My daughter kept rolling an ankle in volleyball but after getting Active ankles - no more sprained ankles! Four years of injury free play.

If I remember right Bauerfeind has a sizing chart for these braces on its website. You measure across the middle of your ankle. But I recommend you look for it. However I also wear a 9.5 shoe size. I bought the 4. It fits good. I wear the brace against my skin and my sock over that. I hope this helps.

Absolutely!! My son is a football lineman and wears his for the extra ankle support and protection recommended by his orthopedic. In addition to the laces, the straps make all the difference in supportive protection between this product and others.

Yes. I pulled out the inside cushioning in the shoe and put the brace in and reinserted the cushioning. I take the brace on and off with the shoes, always leaving them in the shoes I play volleyball in.
