How to Correctly Fit Your Donjoy Velocity Ankle Brace

Ankle braces can be difficult to fit correctly. To ensure you get the most out of yours, we recommend following our step-by-step guide below when putting yours on for the first time:

  1. Unfasten all straps and place your foot through the brace, positioning your foot at a 90° angle
  2. Wrap and secure the calf liner strap, carefully fastening it down
  3. Run each calf ratchet strap through a the loop openings on the opposite side of the brace
  4. Pull, wrap and lock both these straps snugly into place until comfortable
  5. Align the tongue until positioned at the centre of the forefoot
  6. Pull and wrap the ankle straps into place without impairing circulation

How to correctly fit your DJO Velocity Brace

How Does the Donjoy Velocity Brace Attach?

The DJO Velocity Brace uses a sequence of carefully designed straps to ensure stability and support are evenly distributed across and up and down the ankle. The ankle strap pictured below ensures the flexibility of the brace is not impaired by the ankle wobbling out of place when walking or running.

Football Boot Sizing Tips and Tricks

  • Ensure laces and any tongue straps are fully loosened before putting your boots on
  • For maximum comfort, wear with shin-only shin pads
  • Make sure you are wearing your brace over the top of your football socks
  • Place the uncovered toe end inside the boot whilst widening the entrance area with your hands

What Range of Motion Does the Velocity Brace Give?

An ankle brace is only as good as the range of motion it affords the user. The Donjoy Velocity Ankle Brace is designed to maximise the range of motion in the ankle whilst supporting and stabilising the joint to promote healing and a proper execution of motion range when walking and playing sport.

Learn More About the Support

Find out more about the Velocity Ankle Brace by watching the video below. The support helps stabilise the area and can be used with a wide range of shoes.

Intuitive and Innovative Heel Hinge Design

The DJO Velocity uses a hinge located at the heel to allow the baseplate to flex and move with the foot and ankle joint. This hinged design maximises range of motion and prevents the ankle feeling "locked in", which is a common complaint when wearing more restrictive braces and supports.

DJO Velocity

Lightweight Design

The Donjoy Velocity Ankle Support is a low-profile, lightweight ankle brace that prevents abnormal ankle inversion, eversion and rotation while also allowing natural, unrestricted dorsi and plantar flexion. This helps ensure your foot doesn't move into uncomfortable positions, which could increase your likelihood of sustaining an injury. The support also features rigid upright supports to protect the ankle during impact so you remain as safe as possible, even when you're taking part in extreme or contact sports.

I am satisfied with the product, but as a disabled person I am eligible for a VAT refund/zero rate on medical equipment. At the time of purchase I had forgotten about this allowance, and there was no mention of it at the payment point, or if there was it was hiding in the small print and was not prominent. I like most disabled people am unemployed and are benefit dependent and on a low income and although it is a small amount it does make a difference . Thanks for the opportunity to tell you want I think. best wishes Tim Seabrooke

The product is great quality and does the job however I was disappointed that it arrived with damaged packaging and squashed, I can provide photos if needed. I could not return it either as I needed something to support my ankle.

I've been using this for weeks now, for golf. Provides really good support and stops me rolling my ankle. It fits into my golf shoe and it's a lot more comfortable than other braces I've tried. Would definitely recommend this!

I was very impressed by the speedy service and excellent design of the ankle brace. Although it was expensive, it has been worth every penny as my very sporty son can continue to enjoy cricket with confidence.
