- Based on your shoe size Mens 9-9.5 we recommend a size Medium.

- Can you break your lower leg cause you have this ankle brace on? Would it cause less give and then create a lower leg fracture?
- The Pod is desigend to mimic ankle taping and protect the ankle joint. If an excessive force is placed on the joint it can be dispersed elsewhere that could cause a fracture but this is possible with any ankle brace.

- I have hypermobile joints, and my ankles have rolled in the past. I use an aircast brand brace generally, but looking for something supportive but less bulky. Would you suggest this model to supplement the other?
- The DONJOY PERFORMANCE POD ANKLE BRACE would be a great supplement for your Aircast support since it will give a rigid support on the sides but still have the mobility to move around without having to hinder your movement. It is low profile and ultra thin with adjustable velcro underfoot closure for a better fit.

Best preventative brace
My daughter does competitive cheer and has been using these since she was about 8 when she was doing twisting skills after rolling her ankle. She is now 15 we have only had to buy 2 sets cause they hold up well. She wears them a minimum of 3 times a week for 2 plus hours and sometimes more when it's competition season!!!Share Your Usage: Preventing Injury, Sports, Daily Use
