ASO Classic (with Stays) is the ideal choice for the active person who needs an ankle brace to play sport after injury, during the rehab phase; when the athletic taping is not an option due to skin irritation; or to prevent injury for ankles prone to rolling over or twisting. Unique stabilizing straps replicate the stirrup effect of an athletic taping application, positioning the ankle at 90°. Constructed from materials to ensure maximum comfort: mesh ankle liner contains lycra allowing the brace to stretch with motion. Plastic medial and lateral stays are removable as function improves. Reinforced with nylon webbing pockets, stays will remain in place for optimal support. Superior fit into a sport shoe.
