It's an ASO EVO Ankle Brace. One of the best ones you can purchase for basketball. I will be wearing it on my dominant leg, as it is more prone to injuries. The package came in the mail yesterday and I've been overly excited to try it on and work with it in the paint. Surprisingly, it took only 2 DAYS to arrive. I bought it Wednesday morning and it arrived Friday noon. WOW! Super fast shipping! It was free USPS First Class shipping. I highly recommend you buy ASO branded ankle braces from the same site. Fast turnover. I'm going to have to give them some credit, http://www.achillesmed.com/. Check them out!

My previous ankle injuries derived from foot inversion/eversion. Inversion and eversion are special movements of the foot. In inversion, the sole of the foot turns medially. In eversion, the sole faces laterally. If you don't follow me, imagine a pencil directly in front of you. Assuming this is your left foot, if you roll the pencil to the left, this is called inversion. Likewise, if you roll the pencil to the right, it is eversion. I suffered from extreme inversion, which landed me a visit to the doctor. My ankle rolled out and I ended up wearing a cast for about two and a half months. Since I play the Power Forward/Center (4/5) position, I am more likely to step on someone's foot. To help stabilize my dominant leg's left ankle, I decided to purchase an ankle brace for the upcoming season of my basketball league. If you are prone to ankle injuries, need stabilization, resistance to inversion or eversion, or that extra insurance to keep you out in the court, I suggest you buy some ankle braces too. You can buy them for each of your ankles or your dominant leg. I highly recommend the site I mentioned earlier. The product came in brand new and fast. It was only $37.08. Why not?

I wore the ankle brace to school today to break them in (approximately 9 hours). My heel felt very nicely snugged in, and it was much more comfortable than I had intended. I had no issues from my transition of dorsiflexion to plantar flexion, the up-and-down movements of the foot at the ankle. I definitely felt the resistance to inversion/eversion. I cannot fathom how pleased I am about my purchase. Great investment for my love of basketball. It will keep me on the court, ready to murk and throw thunderbolts down on anyone that stands my way. I can't wait to try it on the court and put some excess pressure on it. My initial reactions are quite positive. It's tough, rugged, has heavy duty support and comfortable. Look for it on my left ankle when you see me on the court... BOOM! BOOM!
