Here's a quote about the DonJoy Stabilizing Ankle from the Outside Magazine's Gear Guy:
"All that said, it’s also true that once an ankle reaches a certain stage of weakness, boots alone aren’t enough to hold them in place. I have that problem on my right ankle due to an old sprain that I re-injured several years back and that has never fully recovered. So I recommend a quality ankle brace such as the DonJoy Stabilizing Ankle Brace ($40; betterbraces.com). It’s made from sturdy, non-stretch fabric and is laced up then stabilized with straps that stay in place with hook-and-loop fasteners. It will fit under a boot without going up half a shoe size. These braces really are pretty comfortable—I’ve used one for years—and will reduce your ankle problems by at least 75 percent, if not eliminate them entirely. I have NEVER rolled my bad ankle while wearing a brace. Without one, several times."
