Frequently Asked Questions

How does the Figure-8 strapping provide ankle support?
The Figure-8 strap wraps around the ankle and foot in a crossing pattern that limits inversion and eversion by creating a mechanical restraint that resists lateral rolling. Combined with the top shin strap, the configuration provides support both at the ankle joint and along the lower leg.

What is the speed lace system?
The speed lace system allows the brace to be laced up quickly without tying traditional laces. This makes application and removal faster and more consistent, which is particularly useful for athletes who need to apply the brace quickly before activity.

Does this brace fit both left and right ankles?
Yes. The AO Stabilizer is a universal fit design that works on either the left or right ankle.

How do I determine the correct size?
Size is based on shoe size. Small fits men's shoe sizes 6 to 7 and women's shoe sizes 7 to 8. Other sizes are available in the AO Stabilizer line for larger foot sizes.
