I sprained my ankle twice in one week, putside of ankle hirts & is swollen. The Dr gave me a ankle support, plastic with velcro & a boot. Cant wear regular pants with ot (Im a female) - Thank you for contacting Better Braces.

- I rolled my ankle jogging in my gym class with the result being an avulsion fracture to the tibia. I want some support after I get out of the boot I received from the ER. What Aircast product do you recommend?
- The Aircast Airsport Ankle brace will give you a moderate support on your ankle. For maximum support, I would recommend either the DonJoy Velocity Ankle brace or the DonJoy Performance POD Ankle. Both provide excellent support and protection.

- I wear a size 10.5 EEE walking shoes. I need the width in the toe box because of some arthritis issues. My Dr. fit me with a large Aircast left ankle brace. It seems to be doing the job, but I need to pull the cross over strap very tight to keep the brace straight. Your size chart says I should order a medium size. Any suggestions?
- According to the size chart, you should be wearing a size medium. Since you do have wider feet, I suggest that you go up one size and order a size large.

- Can this brace be worn with high top basketball shoes & does it provide adequate ankle protection? My son wears size 16 shoes.
- The Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace may be slightly too wide at the top to be worn with high top shoes. A better option may be the POD which was designed to fit well in athletic shoes. The protection that the POD provides is maximum to prevent rolling of the ankle joint. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-performance-pod-ankle-brace

- I have a size 5 shoe. I can fit into a 4 and I can fit into a 6 what size airsport ankle brace should I get? I was a competitive gymnast and have had a lateral ankle sprain for 2 years and have not taken proper care for it should I use this brace or something smaller or something bigger?
- We would recommend ordering the extra small Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace if you generally wear between a size 4 and size 5 shoe.

Is this brace good enough. I try and stay active. Thanks
- This brace would not offer enough support based on your injury. We would advise you look into the Aircast FP or XP walker boot, this will provide the support and protection and still allow you to remain mobile.

- I was given a med size air cast at my ortho md office but my shoe size is a 7. I cant wear it with my sneaker cause it feels too tight over brace. Is that because its the wrong size. I got a 7 wide its a bit bettter. But still think i need a small
- Based on that shoe size, the size cart states you should be in a small for the Aircast Airsport Brace. You might want to return to the Dr and get a smaller size. While wearing an ankle brace, there is a possibility you will need to a bigger size shoe.

Which would u redeemed for her to use for basketball? And should she wear it all the time until she can walk with no pain. Starting to walk on it, but if she rotates it, she heard it pop again, not all the time though. Then always wear during games. Thanks

- Are any of your braces safe for the swimming pool (chlorine)? My daughter has a tendency to roll her ankle. She spent the last month of soccer season being taped up by the trainer. However, we are now into swim season and there is not a trainer at the pool to tape her up. She is having ankle pain when pushing off the walls during flip turns, so I am looking for a brace that will last in the pool (which it seems most say they won't) but can't find that information for the Stabilizing Pro or Airsport.
- Any of our ankle braces can be worn in the pool, you just need to rinse the brace out with clean water afterwards and let it air dry.

- I had a grade 3 ankle sprain years ago, non-surgically managed, but have remained a runner for years (...with recurrent injuries). I would like a brace with good lateral support for running. My issue with most braces are the seams - they cut into my foot even on short runs. It seems like the Aircast Airsport has the stability I'm looking for. How bulky are the seams? Are there any seamless options? Do you have any other suggestions?
- The Airsport is a bit bulky, take a look at the A60 ankle brace it is a lighter version of the Airsport

Thank you for contacting Donjoy. Since you do have a wider foot I recommend that you go up in size. Size at the forefoot the brace slides on like a sock. It may be a little too snug for you in this are.

- I was given this brace by my Dr when I sprained my ankle yesterday. I sprained my right foot but they mistakenly gave me a left. Can they be worn on either ankle or do I need to get one for the correct side?

Since I have not recently had an ankle injury, I am looking for a product that would help to prevent having these same ankle injuries that I have been having. Is this the best option for that?
- Yes the Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace will prevent ankle injuries, and offer support and protection. Another alternative would be the Aircast A60 Ankle Support, this is also a very excellent preventative ankle support https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-a60-ankle-support-2

I suggest the Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace. This brace is a lace-up ankle brace with two figure-of eight straps. the brace will fit into all cleats easily and will provid protection of the ankle. https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace

I am not sure what you are asking. The size chart is on the website and this brace is measured by shoe size, and we feel confident that it is accurate. We do have a 90 moneyback guarentee on all of our products

- I have a minor fracture of my talus and am going to be transitioning from a boot to a brace. I was wondering if the airsport brace can be worn with a pair of dress shoes or flats. I have a function that I need to attend and dress up for.
- Jessica
The airsport is a bulky brace I do not believe it would fitinto dress shoes. The Aircast A60 Ankle support is a similar brace but much thinner so it may work better with dress shoes. https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-a60-ankle-support-2

- i had a medial malleolus fracture an my ankle is just out of cast.i do lot of running and play games like basketball,football so i wanted to know which brace between A60 and Airsport would suffice my requirements also i wear a size 8, should i go for a small or medium size brace?
- Franklin
since you just got out of a cast, I would suggest the Airsport ankle brace. If will give you more support than the A60. the A60 is a lower profile brace and is a little slimmer in design but offers only mild support. That might be something you could transition into after you ankle has gotten stronger.
- at 7/15/2014 7:46 AM
- Does the Air cast Ankle brace come in white? The one that has the cross strap. It's for a level 1 or 2 ankle sprain. I am only seeing it in black.

- I am coming up on 12 weeks post achilles rupture surgery and will be coming out of my rigid boot. I'm not to wear a brace fulltime but feel I need something for those days on the job when I'll be on my foot most of the day. Is this recommended for achilles therapy?
- The Airsport is an ankle brace ans will support the ankle. The Aircast Airheel Ankle brace might be something you will want to try. It has air bladders in the heel and in the back of the brace where the achillies is located. When you step down the air bladder in the hell acts as a cusion and pushes air into the bladders around the achillies creating some compression. The brace comes with ankle stabilizers as well but the most important part for you is the inflation of the pads around the achillies tendon. https://www.betterbraces.com/aircast-airheel-ankle-brace

- My son is 9 and has fractured his ankle twice in the last six months due to chronic ankle instability, once during gymnastics and the second time during soccer. His orthopedist has him in a neoprene brace with a figure-8 strap, but this brand brace is not very durable. I'm looking for a brace to control ankle eversion during sports and that can be worn barefoot, as he surfs and needs protection in the water. Would the Aircast A60 or Airsport provide better support and prevent rolling? Thanks!
- Tina
The Airsport would give him more support, especially if not wearing shoes. The A60 is a lower profile version of the Airsport, not as supportive
- at 6/16/2014 6:14 PM
- Hi I recently had surgery 4 weeks ago for an Osteochondral Defect in my Talus. I will be getting off crutches and boot hopefully soon and I was wondering what ankle brace you recommend. I do not want my surgery to fail and since I'm an active person I just want to prevent it. I'm between the Airsport and A60. However, I don't know which one will be better for me. I am a Zumba Instructor and very active like I said. Advice?
- Thank you for your question. The AirSport will offer more support than the A60. The A60 is more streamline. Both will fit into an athletic shoe. If you are looking for mild stability the A60 would be appropriate. However, if you are looking for a more moderate level of support you would want to go with the AirSport.

- Hi I recently suffered a Grade II ankle sprain tearing a ligament and a fibula fracture, no surgery needed. Im recovering nicelly but had chronic ankle inestability on both ankles but love doing canoeing, kneeling on the floor of the canoe to paddle.
I would like to know which one of your braces would be better to wear when I will recover and go canoeing again?, because it will need to fit inside a sport shoe, get wet and allow me to stay kneeling down over my feet. Would you suggest 2 different styles, one for the ankle that had the recent lesion and another type for the one just with chronic inestability?
Thank you very much
- Thank you for your question. The AirCast Airsport Ankle Brace would be appropriate for your injury. The DonJoy stabilizing Ankle may be a better option as it is a little more streamline.

- Hello,
I am a trail runner and run obstacle course races. Which brace would you recommend for courses that involve running on uneven ground and also through mud/water? The Aircast A60 or the Aircast Airsport? Please advise. Thank you! - Amy
The A60 may work better for you because it is lower profile than the AirSport but also not as much support. Another option with better support than the A60 but is still able to get inot shoes is the DonJoy Stabilizing Pro Ankle Brace https://www.betterbraces.com/donjoy-stabilizing-pro-ankle-brace

- Hello, I chronically sprain my left ankle while running (roll to the left) . Minor sprains until the last one 5 months ago which was grade II. Which is the best brace to prevent rolling/re-injury that I can comfortable run in? A60 doesn't look like enough though looks comfortable. Are the sides of the Airsport rigid? Thank you.
- Christine
The Aircast Airsport is a great brace to provide support for multiple ankle sprains. There are two plastic stays on the brace one on each side of the ankle with padding on the inside of the brace for comfort. Ther brace slides on your foot then there is one small strap in the back to hold it on and one longe strap that wraps around the ankle for added support. The brace is bigger than the A60 but should still fit in to an athletic shoe.
- at 2/15/2014 7:44 PM
- Hi. I have severe chronic ankle instability, have since childhood (i was a professional klutz), i am a Firefighter/EMT, very active, always on my feet. My jobs and hobbies require allot of standing, walking, high impact, kneeling, and running all with heavy weights. I am looking for the most ideal brace i can find, do you have any input? I would greatly appreciate it. Stability and mobility is ideal, but i understand that i cannot always have both, so stability would be priority. Thank you for your time.
- Thank you for your question. The Aircast Air Sport will offer a good amount of stability. The Velocity is going to provide the maximum support and is also very comfortable, which is also an option.
- at 1/5/2014 9:38 PM

- I currentky have both a left and a right version of the A60 but find the plastic support sometimes digs into my ankle and causes discomfort. I am currently looking at the Aircast Airsport with the hope that it will provide all the benefit of the A60 with more comfort. Is this a good assumption? Can you speak to the major differences between the two braces? My intention for the brace is to wear for prevention as I have rolled my ankles many times in the past and they are now pretty weak.
- Tim
The A60 is the lighter version of the Airsport. The Airsport does have padding on the inside of the plastic stays and will be more comfortable. If is a little bulkier than the A60 but will still fit into a shoe and has more support than the A60. If you have any other questions please let us know

- I have flat feet, especially the right one where the arch is collapsed.
I have been wearing custom made orthotics, without them i couldn't walk more than 20 min without severe knee pain on the right side, sciatic pain...
I play soccer every week, and recently sprain my right ankle twice. It seems that my ankle gets weaker and weaker.
I am looking for a brace that I can wear together with the orthotics, to recover and prevent any more sprain ankle while playing soccer.
- Sebastien,
This brace will fit fine with your orthotics. The bottom of the brace where your arch would be is nylon material and should not interfere with the fit of your orthotic. Another option to look at would be our DonJoy Stabilizing Speed PRO Ankle Brace. The Speed Pro is semi-rigid as well and will also a feature lace-up design with figure 8 strapping (similar to tape). Thank you for your question and feel free to contacting us with any more questions you may have.

- Hi I am recovering from an ankle fracture and surgery, in my sixth week. I'm out of a hard cast and in an aircast xp walker. I am at the point in my recovery when I can start to bear weight on my leg and I believe I no longer have to wear the aircast at night. Although eager to shed the bulky aircast for sleeping I find it uncomfortable not to wear it. What I'm looking for is a brace that is smaller and more comfortable to wear in bed and perhaps i could use later in my recovery for walking etc..
Thanks - Hello Posy,
Please take a look at the following ankle braces, these may be great options for you.

- Hello Val,
When the Airsport is applied to your foot. The AirCast Logo should be on your Shin, facing forward. The top strap should be secured on the top of the medial and lateral supports.
Thanks for Contacting Donjoy.

- I recently sprained my ankle and was given the Aircast Airsport ankle brace shown above to wear. I wanted to know what the material is made out of, since I have laytex, spandex, and nylon allergies. The information is not on the tag and I cannot find it on this website. Thank you for all of your assistance.
- Hello Jenn,
The Airsport has Spandex and Nylon in it. I recommend wearing a sock underneath the brace.
Thanks for contacting Donjoy.

- Hi I recently suffered a Grade II ankle sprain tearing a ligament and I'm looking for a brace that I could wear to help with recovery but that I might also be able to wear when I return to my sports (flag football, basketball, soccer, ultimate frisbee).
Does the Airsport offer the same kind of recovery support as the Air Stirrup? And what is the difference between the A60 and the Airsport when it comes to returning to sporting activities?
Thanks. - Hello Tiffany,
The Air Stirrup is not recommended to use during activity, it's more of a walking support.
A return to play brace would be the Airsport, A60, Donjoy Pro Stabilizing Ankle. The differences;
A60- has a medial and lateral rigid stirrup, the braces slides on like a sock.
Airsport- you step into the brace, back side of achilles is open. Has a medial and lateral rigid stirrup with air cells for comfort
Donjoy Pro- similar to ankle taping, has 2 figure 8 straps, and laces up
The above are all appropriate, your choice is based on your preference.
Please call a Product Specialist with additional questions. 1-888-405-3251.

- Hello, I am a women's size nine but have a very narrow foot. I was wondering if I should order a small to avoid bulkiness? I'm recovering from an ankle sprain. Thanks for your help.
- Hello Alisa,
The Airsport isn't very wide. But it does have the air cells on the medial and lateral side so you will have to wear an athletic shoe with this brace. It won't fit in a high heel.
Depending how much support you need and the activity your returning to, you may be able to select a different brace.
Other options I would suggest.

- I've bought an Aircast A60 for my right ankle some time ago. Now I've sprained my left one. Is it possible to (maybe only temporarily) wear the right Aircast on my left foot?
The sprain does feel that bad so I need something to stabilize it during the upcoming practices and games this week. I also have an Aircast Air-Stirrup for my left ankle from a few years ago, but this one makes it really hard to put on basketball shoes...
Any recommendations would be great! - If you wear the right brace on the left ankle it will keep you from rolling the inside of your ankle outward but wont protact you from the ankle rolling inward. It would not be advised to wear the brace in this manner, as that is not its intended use..

- Hello, I just got off a severe ankle sprain but I am well into Therapy and have been cleared to play basketball next week (15 weeks total of recovery). Would you recommend this brace or the Aircast A60? They are confident I don't need to wear a brace but to prevent injury after all this hard work would be a shame.
I play basketball with Mid/High top sneakers.
Thanks,
Patrick
- I would go with the airsport, it is going to provide more support, which sounds like this is what you need.

- I would like to order the Aircast Airsport. I have had many grade II ankle sprains on my left leg, and am fully healed now. I usually wear a size 9 sneaker to accommodate my current lace-up brace (and bunions). Would the medium size brace be too bulky, or will it be a snug enough fit? Also, are they made for either foot? I am beginning to do triathlons and need a much speedier brace that I can be comfortable and confident with. Thanks.
- The Airsport is a great option for the quick and easy application and will definatley help you out during your races. This brace is made right and left specific. And Medium will be a perfect size for your foot and should not be too bulky.

- hi! my daughter's volleyball shoe size is 8.5 but sometimes a size 9 (mizuno shoes). what size should i order for an aircast a60 ankle support that would fit her perfectly? i wanted to get her the aircast airsport but im worried that it might have a bulky feel and that she might feel uncomfortable running jumping or spiking with them so im deciding on the a60 instead, but i need your advise on the perfect fit for her, thanks!
- If your daughter already had an ankle injury I'd recommend the Aircast Airsport. If she's looking to prevent an injury for the first time then order the Aircast A60. If she truly wears an 81/2 shoe size then order a medium. It's better to have a snug fit in the shoe then have it be too bulky and baggy.

- I have an Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace for a right foot/ankle but now my left ankle is sprained. The right ankle version seems to fit and feel fine on my left ankle. Do I really need the left ankle version?
- Ed - We recommend that you do get the left brace for your left ankle injury. The braces are made specific for right and left feet. The inner semi-rigid shells are formed to fit your ankle bones properly. Wearing them on the incorrect side, could potentially cause more harm than good, being that the shells and shape of the brace will not fit properly.
