Ankle Protection

           Lucky me. This past weekend I severely rolled my left ankle during my soccer game. I was unknowingly standing in a small hole on the field, when I went to turn to pass the ball and there was a cracking noise as I rolled my ankle. At first I thought it was broken due to the sound it made and the pain I was in, but it ended up being sprained. So, for the past week I have been wearing a boot to help keep my ankle in place so it can heal quickly for my team’s upcoming state cup tournament.

            As a precaution for this type of injury, many athletes wear ankles braces. In the past years I have rolled my ankle several times in both basketball and soccer and I have experimented with many different types of ankle braces. From my own experiences I have found that the ASO ankle brace is the best one yet. This ankle brace incorporates the straps needed to set your ankle in place and it laces up so the brace is tight on your foot. I really like that it has both these features because it does a great job of keeping your foot and ankle set in place. Before I bought the ASO Ankle Brace, I had worn both just the regular lace up brace and a brace that only had the Velcro straps to keep it in place. These two types of braces had worked well for me in the past, but they weren’t as durable as the ASO Ankle Brace.

So if you are one of those people prone to spraining or rolling your ankles, as I am, then the ASO Ankle Brace is the perfect buy. It is like a two-for-one deal because it incorporates both the lace up and strap up aspects of the brace and it’s very durable.
