Our verdict

An over the shoe ankle brace that blocks rolling while letting the ankle flex for running and cutting. It adds bulk outside the shoe, and this listing is a single small brace.

Overview

Strapping over the outside of a cleat or sneaker is how the TayCo AthleticX braces the ankle. A Kevlar reinforced stirrup wraps under the shoe, and a nylon shell with neoprene padding resists side to side rolling while still letting the foot point and flex.

Bracing outside the shoe gives a wider base against rolling and leaves room inside the shoe. The downside is visible bulk and a heavier feel than a sleeve. Fit is set by shoe size, and this listing is the small size.

Who it's for

Field sport athletes and hikers returning from sprains get strong side support without losing forward flex. People who dislike bulk or wear tight dress shoes should look at a sleeve.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Strong sideways support
  • Allows forward flex for running
  • Kevlar stirrup adjusts to shoe width
  • Wide size range
Cons
  • Bulky outside the shoe
  • Hand wash only
  • Single brace per listing

Performance notes

The stirrup and shell anchor to the shoe, which resists the inward and outward roll behind most sprains. Freedom in the forward direction lets running and pushing off feel natural, and a snug strap prevents slipping.
