Zamst A2 DX Left Ankle Support

Product Information

My only caveat to this statement is that each user needs to find their sweet spot for comfort and support. With the straps and the laces in place to allow for a custom level of tightness, it is very possible to go too tight around the midfoot and arch and cause foot numbing and pain. Sometimes it takes a few moments to notice and a couple times I was already mid game when I starting feeling tingling pain and the onset of numbness.I don’t think this takes away from the brace itself because this is user error when it happens. Once you find your sweet spot, the brace is consistently comfortable. Why the love for the A2-DX? Well in 2014 I rolled my ankle. Then it healed. Then I rolled the other ankle. And again, and again. Over a period of 12 months I had hit double digits in sprained ankles. Fast forward to the present day, and I’m wearing one on each foot, and have done so for over a year. In terms of stability and comfort I couldn’t find another brace that even came close.

Measure the circumference of the wrist at the narrowest part. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the one you like best based on its width. Size If the fit of an ankle brace is too loose, it won't deliver the necessary stability and protection you want. On the other hand, if the brace fits too tight, your feet will get numb due to the restricted blood flow. Make sure to buy the right size! Ankle braces with inserts or exterior support structures offer more protection and are especially useful if you want to prevent high ankle sprains or if you are recovering from one. However, they are heavier, less comfortable, and restrict your movements to a higher degree than the previously-presented lighter options. Zamst A2-DX Ankle Brace The brace can feel a bit stiff in the beginning but after a short break-in period, the material starts to feel really nice. The McDavid has 9 sets of eyelets (compared to 6 of the ASO), which makes it a bit bulkier and more difficult to put on. In return, it also offers a bit more stability compared to the ASO. There are a lot of ankle braces to choose from and the best ankle brace for you will vary depending on your needs and prior injury history.

The product affords good padding on the underside of your foot including in the area down towards your toes, which many ankle braces for basketball do not – however, the padding is a little uneven, which might be off-putting when you’re running. Those looking for protection rather than discretion may appreciate the McDavid Bio-Logix Ankle Brace, a heavy-duty, performance-grade ankle brace. Crafted from molded plastic, it offers stability without sacrificing comfort. The flex-link hinge design offers further protection, and a memory foam padding cushions the ankle joint for comfortable wear. The McDavid 199 is another very popular ankle brace offering serious protection by using steel spring stays on both sides of the brace. The construction is durable and lightweight but needs some time to break-in. Lacing them up takes a while, but eventually, you get used to it. Due to the Zamst’s design, it takes a little longer than other ankle braces to put on and take off. However, this additional time is more than worth it considering the unmatched support and protection the brace provides, as well as its anatomically correct fit that keeps comfort levels high. Basketball sport puts a lot of pressure on the ankle joints because of the explosive movements such as cutting, vertical jumps and landings. Players are more likely to experience ankle sprain, and 70% chances to re-sustain if they have suffered before. Obviously, no athlete would prefer to sacrifice ankle’s health. Therefore, we suggest using the best ankle brace for basketball in 2022 to protect against injuries and enhance comfort around the ankles.

This is a lace-up ankle brace, which means it offers a good level of support and adjustability as the laces can be pulled into a fit that’s snug to your foot. You first tie up the cotton laces, before wrapping the straps under the foot and then up around the ankle, and velcroing them in place. The product’s ballistic nylon material is strong but light and provides good durability.

Measure the circumference of the thigh 16 cm above the center of the kneecap. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger one. Size Choose a size based on your shoe size. If your measurement falls between two sizes, choose the larger one. While many ankle braces are bilateral (capable of being worn on the left and right ankles, interchangeably), this brace is specifically designed to accommodate the anatomy of the right ankle or the left ankle. This allows for precise support and stability that wearers may not find in a more variable ankle brace.
