The Sportaid Universal Gel Air Ankle Stirrup provides padded support and stability for ankle sprains, strains, and instability during activity and daily use. The gel air bladder system delivers cushioned comfort while also functioning as a hot or cold therapy vessel for pain and swelling management. The high-impact, high-density white shell maintains its fit and structural integrity during high levels of activity, and fully adjustable movable straps allow a customized, secure fit. Fits left or right ankle. Worn comfortably inside a lace-up shoe. Cleans easily with soap and water. Latex-free. Regular size, fits shoe size 10.
Athletes and active individuals recovering from acute ankle sprains who need a rigid stirrup brace that provides medial and lateral stability while allowing them to continue wearing a lace-up athletic shoe during rehabilitation will find the Sportaid Gel Air Stirrup’s high-density shell and adjustable straps deliver the structural support needed for a safe return to activity. Individuals managing chronic ankle instability who require ongoing lateral support during sports, work, or daily activity will find the universal fit and adjustable strap system allows the brace to be worn consistently and comfortably inside standard footwear. People who want the added benefit of hot or cold therapy integrated into their ankle brace — to manage post-activity swelling or pre-activity stiffness — will find the gel air bladder system provides both compression support and thermal therapy in a single device. Coaches, athletic trainers, and sports medicine staff who stock ankle braces for team use and need a universal-fit option that works for both left and right ankles across a range of athletes will find the Sportaid Gel Air Stirrup a practical, versatile inventory choice. Individuals who have previously worn a standard air stirrup brace and want the additional comfort of a gel air bladder over a standard air bladder will find the gel construction provides a softer, more conforming feel against the malleoli during extended wear.
How does the gel air bladder work?
The gel air bladders are positioned on the medial and lateral sides of the ankle, conforming to the contours of the malleoli to provide cushioned compression and support. The bladders can also be used as a hot or cold therapy vessel — chill in the freezer for cold therapy or warm in warm water for heat therapy — before inserting into the brace shell for combined compression and thermal treatment.
Does this brace fit inside a shoe?
Yes. The Sportaid Gel Air Stirrup is designed to be worn comfortably inside a lace-up shoe. The low-profile shell fits within the shoe’s interior without requiring a larger shoe size in most cases, though a slightly roomier shoe may be more comfortable during the initial adjustment period.
How do I determine the correct size?
The Regular size fits shoe size 10. Refer to the Sportaid sizing chart for other available sizes to confirm the correct fit for your shoe size before ordering.
How do I clean the brace?
Clean the brace with mild soap and warm water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely before reuse. Do not machine wash or submerge the shell in water for extended periods.
