• Hello, so I was looking at the sizes and I am right on the edge of the Small or Medium as I wear shoe size of 9-9.5. So I am not sure which one I would be better off either the Small which is the end of the range or the Medium which is the beginning of the range. Any suggestions?
• 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.

• Does this brace require a lace up shoe? Will it work with slip on shoes or barefoot?
• The DonJoy Performance POD® ANKLE BRACE does not require a lace up shoe, however wearing barefoot may affect the lifetime of the bottom of the brace.

• Have ruptured peronal longus and brevis. Resulting in a lot of lateral instability. Am wearing a brace from biuerfiend that controls some but not enough Would your brace control more of the lateral instability I feel when I'm walking?
• The Donjoy POD Ankle Brace has been tested as one of two braces we carry that are considered "maximum" stability braces. It is designed to control medial as well as lateral rolling of the ankle joint

• HI, i have a ligament tear in my right ankle that causes pain to the back of my Achilles but once i tape my ankles up and wear a brace the pain reduces. now my question is, is the POD more efficiant than the normal ankle braces? and also i would like one for both lefthand right ankle, do i need to purchase them separately?
• Yes, you will need to purchased them separately. The DonJoy Performance POD® ANKLE BRACE is a lightweight brace, that provides excellent support that replaces taping.

• Will this brace help to prevent re-injury of the Achilles Tendon?
• No, this is not an Achilles Tendon brace, a better support for that specific injury would be the Aircast Airheel

• Would this brace help with foot drop, for times / shoes where I don't want to wear a full-foot knee height AFO?
• Unfortunately no, for drop foot you would need to wear an AFO. We have the Super LITE AFO, see below:

• 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.
