Great for Recovering Athletes

If you're recovering from a serious sprain or injury and really need to keep your ankle rigid, the medical inserts that run down the side of the McDavid A101 are effective at fighting unwanted movement, allowing your ankle to heal uninterrupted. They're also removable, which means that when your ankle is sufficiently recovered, the support can become much more flexible, making it great for sport. Fully laced, it also allows you to customise your level of compression to find your most comfortable fit.

Removable Medical Inserts

The McDavid A101 Ankle Support includes removable inserts for both sides of the brace. They run along either side of the brace, keeping the foot rigid and preventing unwanted rolling when the ankle is at its most fragile. As they are removable, the brace can adapt to your heeling ankle and give you a more flexible fit when you're ready.

Laces for Simple and Customised Ankle Support

When you're playing sport, the level of support needed around the ankle depends on each person. As such, you can adjust the ankle compression with the laces of the McDavid A101. The laces extend from the middle of the foot to above the foot, allowing highly customised compression.

Steel Stays for Reinforced Support

More than just a sleeve support, the McDavid Brace features reinforced steel stays on either side. This helps maintain the joint along its axis to prevent further injury. These stays aren't too rigid and move with the ankle, which is great for athletes who want protection without impeding their flexibility.

Ventilated Tongue Keeps You Cool

Great for keeping your feet cool, the HydraVent Moisture Management Material vents and drains excess liquid. Despite the comprehensive foot support, your foot won't get too sweaty!

Want the Same Brace But in Black?
