Used it for volleyball after a strong ankle injury
Great support and not 'too much' for everyday training and VB games. Feel the support but also lets your ankle to perform well (compared to a strapped ankle).

The patent pending design incorporates a sleek stabiliser located on either side of the ankle. This stabiliser is molded at a 60 degree angle to help guard against ankle sprains and prevent rollover. Manufactured from breathable material, the A60 Ankle Brace ensures that the wearer stays comfortably cool and dry, while the light-weight anatomic design easily fits in athletic footwear without creating additional bulk. The Aircast A60 is applied and adjusted with a single strap that securely holds it in place; replacing time-consuming lacing.

Brilliant customer service. I opted for collection as I work in Guildford and it went very smoothly and I was impressed with the level of service, great ankle support too - no problems at all :))
I bought this as recommended by my consultant. Although a little expensive I thought I'd give it a whirl as I have poor ankle stability due to playing a lot of football, playing time reducing, recovery time following injury increasing. This product has given me added confidence and feels extremely comfortable to wear. I have not had a problem since I started wearing the brace. A great buy to date.
I bought this support as i twisted my ankle whist playing in an international volleyball match. I have worn it to train and play ever since. My ankle is recovering yet is still weak but it is well worth buying.
It is a good support, I use it in my work boots that have a high ankle on them and it is brilliant. It holds the foot to run over uneven ground, really good... however, being female and having small ankles, it doesn't hold my ankle as much as I would like to in trainers, even with the smallest brace. I have had to make some modifications to get the brace tighter around the ankle bones, however, this is a foot fault and not the product!! The product is good and Racquet Depot have been really helpful trying to sort out the best fitting brace.... I have others friends who use this brace and swear by it....
I purchased two of these ankle supports (one for each ankle) as whilst playing badminton, I have managed to cause damage and tear to the tissue around my ankle several times that caused a lot of pain, resulting in 6 months of healing time before being able to play again. As a torn tissue is never the same, this support does assist my now "weak" ankles and does stop them twisting the ways they shouldn’t do. It has a fairly solid strip down both sides that keeps your foot in place but still allows enough movement for sports. The only bad thing I can say is, they are not the most comfortable, but a choice of that or 6 months repair time and potentially not being able to walk properly again, then it is certainly worth investing the small amount to protect your ankles. Do read the instructions to ensure you use the right one on the right foot and remember the support un-does with Velcro so you can slide your foot in without stretching it unnecessarily. By the way, I looked everywhere for a cheaper one of these and Racquet Depot are the cheapest by far.
This brace is pretty good - after a very bad ankle injury, I can play near normal badminton without the fear of rolling my ankle. It's not cheap but it does the job - buy it and start running on the court!
I play five and seven a side football and kept going over on my weak ankle. The support has stopped that happening and now I can play with freedom and confidence!
I have used the ankle guard for squash and tennis and it is very comfortable for both sports. Since I have almost recovered from my pulled ligaments 6 months ago from a squash injury this has assisted me to get back into my squash and tennis with confidence of the support that it offers.
