Why We Recommend the ASO
- Figure-8 stabilising straps – replicate professional sports taping techniques

- Elastic cuff closure – enhances strap support and secures laces during activity
- Removable medial and lateral stabilising stays – provide structured side support
- Ballistic nylon boot – durable and long-lasting construction
- Low-profile design – fits comfortably inside most athletic footwear
- Bilateral design – each size fits left or right ankle

Unlike simple elastic ankle sleeves, the ASO provides structured stabilisation without the bulk of rigid orthoses, allowing functional movement while supporting vulnerable ligaments.
How to Choose Your Size
Measure around your ankle just above the ankle bone (malleolus) while standing.
