Can these be worn while playing basketball, or are they to be used after you already have an ankle injury?

Yes, and I highly recommend it for anyone with a tender ankle. After rolling my ankle last year I had a hard time jumping off my left ankle out of fear, but when I started using the Aso supporter is gave me the confidence to do it. It's the best ankle supported I've used thus far. Hope this helps

Yes. My son play outfield for his HS team and speed is essential both in the OF and running the bases. Does not restrict his running ability for a 2 hour game and offers great ankle support.

I sprained my ankle pkaying basketball, and once it was healed although to get back out there I wore this for added assurance. I still wear it whether I play tennis, bball or any other sport that requires quick lateral movement. Highly recommend this product as a preventative brace.

This was very useful to me when I broke my ankle. I had a cast up to my knee and had no problems with it. I wear a ladies size 10 shoe, if size has anything to do with cast size. If you wear a men's 12, it my be difficult.

Hello! These are for children. These did not work for us though. They are too bulky for my girls and the velcro straps are uncomfortable. Plus ours fell apart after wearing only a handful of times.

I use them for ankles and wrists. The only concern is to make them a little (+ 2 small waits) heavier for your ankles, so I usually do the ankle exercises at different sessions than wrists. This way I avoid changing in the middle of exercising.Enjoy!

Absolutely!! My son is a football lineman and wears his for the extra ankle support and protection recommended by his orthopedic. In addition to the laces, the straps make all the difference in supportive protection between this product and others.

I wear the ankle brace under a sock. I play softball and umpire. It works great.

It works on the right or the left ankle. Gives great support to prevent injury.

I am not sure, but I use it for basketball and I seem to move freely and it works great! My last pair worked well for over 10 years of playing basketball 2-4 times a week. The new ones as in the picture are even better. They are well worth the money.

They have velcro wraps that wrap the ankle as tightly as one may desire. I like them a lot. Adjustable in 1/2 pound increments.

All depends on your injury. If you need to wear one at all, it likely you need to wear it for any prolonged walking.My personal experience with severe ankle injury is that it should be worn more rather than less, combined with carefull excersise - with my Drs advice in mind: " Let pain and swelling be your guide"

I think the plus has extra padding around the ankle to promote healing and decrease inflammation and increase stability post injury. If you are significantly past the last surgery, injury, etc. the S is just fine, and works well as preventative for pre-stressed ligaments

My daughter is 9 yrs old and they fit her. Yes, she uses hers for basketball

My daughter uses them for basketball all the time. Just break in first like a new pair of shoes.

I don't play tennis. I assume they would be good for tennis players, knowing that they're helpful for soccer players. They provide good compression of the ankle joint without diminishing flexibility.

I am not a sports medicine expert by any means, however, I find them perfect on uneven ground. They hold your ankle firmly in position. It works for my sprained ankle.

Separately. Let me add that son has worn these through half of HS varsity football season and all of basketball. I ordered them after he rolled his ankle during a football game. They've really helped stabilize his ankles. Money very well spent!

Well, I can tell myself; who is 55 years old and had plastic surgery from a horrific car accident that I use these ankle weights for short periods of time of exercise but under no circumstance should you use these for walking around the block or in the park. Only use these for " short periods of time " period.... Remember that I also have damaged ankles (broken left ankle and broken right foot with broken right leg )and other assorted maladies.
