Is this any better than the last version of these ankle braces? The version I am referring to is the one with the old logo and full black laces.

My guess would be that the design is similar, but made of some newer materials.

I would say a II. It is the most support that I can comfortably compete in. Other systems such as hinged supports like the "active ankle" do give more support but are far to rigid to cut and accelerate in. The mcdavids are the best ive found.

They are labeled as Active Ankle on the brace and do have the trademark symbol, so I believe they are.

That is a more personal question as to the feel of a cleat. I like the blacks, no float. It locks my foot in the place I want it. Try the blacks and see if you like being locked in place.....if not...then buy the reds.

The problem here is that the entire web page was clearly written by someone with poor knowledge of English. There are two Delta cleats: red (for free rotation) and black (for fixed position). (Black Deltas will allow free rotation with a few specific models of Shimano-branded Looks from the mid-1990s, but these are very rare today.) There is no "true" or "one size." I don't know what will happen when you order this, since it is gibberish. I'd suggest buying it from someone who speaks a language other than gibberish, so you can tell what you're ordering. Just be sure you need the Delta cleat, not the newer Keo cleat for more recent models (they switched some time after 2005 or so). Most bike shops carry the red Delta cleats and the Keo cleats; black Delta cleats are not common, so you might need to order them online. But don't order from someone who bite the wax tadpole other so many differences become grapefruit. Get it?

The compression is very strong, but if you are going to wear this brace on a regular basis, I'd get two. Our daughter is a soccer player who had broken each of her ankles playing other sports in school. We've tried every lace up brace on the market-this brace was the best one-hands down. She had more natural mobility and less foot pain. For me, it was a 5 star purchase! Hope this helps!

the new version is nice because you can keep the net very tight. It is also a lot easier to fasten the net. I hope this helps. My family loves this game!!!

The only difference's are the logo has been changed, and the shoulder strap no longer hooks in to the front using a hook. This is a plus and a minus, the plus side is it would be more comfortable for the child, the downside is the new design is a bit harder to get to and change the position, not that hard to do. The only other thing i've noticed is they have improved the buckle design. If you can get the older version I'd go with that as the price difference isn't worth it in my opinion.

These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles. I think I've had them for like 8 months in my badminton shoes and they are still in good shape. The top is showing a little ware, but that's nothing, when you compare them to the older blue foam bottom models which I would burn holes clear through within a matter of months. (They still give support where I need it, though, so I still use several older pairs in my other shoes, despite them having multiple large holes in each one.) Just make sure you get the newer model with the green rubber bottom. These new ones are very good. The base is some sort of rubber, similar to thr new balance insoles.

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

Hi David, since my husband has severe back issues. I did a lot of research online and was worried about him having to reach so low to lock in the ankle adjustment. I chose the 960 for the ease and comfort for him. the 960 model also has longer handles on each side as well as other handles to grip or push for more of a stretch. which I seem to like more than he does. If you'd like more info I looked up on You Tube a side by side comparison. I'm including the link for you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a21CTqahr4o. He is a little slow to get started if you start the video about 1:43. he will get into more of the description and will show the differences on each one. I hope this helps. J

Yes there is a real advantage. I split my tibia up the middle. I was non-weight bearing for 6 mos. Once I was allowed to start weight bearing, it was the only brace my orthopedist wanted me to use. It gives better stability, more even control of tightness, has a much better feel of control while walking. It really has nothing to do with the "speed" you can lace it up, in my view. Yes it is faster, but that is one of the least important factors. I tried some of the lace ups to cut down on the cost and use when I needed to wash the speed lacer and they just don't compare.

I wish I could help you more...I was fitted by orthopedic doctor after my "boot" was removed from my hairline fracture/sprained ankle. I am a solid women's size 9 and they put me in a small. I ordered a 2nd one from amazon as a backup and to wash first one( hang dry) as I had to wear it all day for 8 weeks. It is a very good ankle wrap. I will still be using it for racquet sports. Hope this helps!

Looks like they discontinued 1R or they are hiding it from the website. . The new dark appears to be striped or split.. the old one is not.

I haven't tried the original to compare. I have only used in women's New Balance gym shoes and casual shoes (Drew brand) that have a deep toe bed. Works for me well in these shoes. I have a narrow foot and don't feel squished, but these type of shoes are roomy.

I am not sure if it works as well as it is with underpronation. It might needs to have shoes with full support of the ankle. I use it a lot because of my foot injury history from sport incidents while I was playing sports. I have a normal arch with no over/underpronation. The reason I am using it is to help my heel / medial / lateral longtiudinal arch to reduce pain instead of having foot surgery. I wear them since 10 years ago as it works well for me. I do not know what is about underpronation people have if the Powerstep products will work as well as for them.
