The Push Sports Ankle Brace 8 left S is an ultra-thin ankle brace that stabilizes the ankle and provides comfortable compression. It is ideal for mild sprains or capsular irritation as well as mild instabilities to prevent recurring injuries. To apply the brace, put it on and pull your foot towards you so that the foot is positioned at a 90 degree angle. Tighten and secure the upper part of the brace. Then take the wide elastic strap and wrap it diagonally across the instep to the front under the foot along the outside of the foot to the inside of the ankle - this effectively creates a figure ''8''. Finally, fasten the strap with the hook and loop material.
