if i was you i would just strap it my self. heaps cheaper and more effective. buy some elestoplast from a chemist. shave your calf (lower) then strap it tight. it will work better than some neoprene support, and last longer.

Buy in bulk dude! Three torn lateral ligaments and a tendon requires such action these days, if I want to chase the baseball again!

You can get the ankle support braces from your local chemist.
they are fine for the first few times you ues them but they stretch very quickly. I use the tape and after you know how to correctly tape yourself you shouldn't use much tape to provide proper bracing.
But Oh yes Shave your ankles!!!

I've bought some from a chemist, they are with laces, provide very good support, but can give blisters. Around $100.
If you interested let me know I'll get all the details for you, ie; name, exact cost etc. my fiance works at a chemist.

ive rolled my ankle a few times at work and have just used a bandage with a safety pin to hold the end on & keep it tight....it works really well. I'm walking about for most of the day (10hrs) and the bandage holds firm & supports the ankle until i take it off
5m roll & a safety pin...less than $20 id say

Go to a Medical supplies store. Like where they sell those carts that old people drive they sell strapping tape but the truckload at cheap prices. It's good quality too they should sell all the top brand names.
I buy it by the box and would never use anything else. The other stuff isn't good enough to trust and trust me i've tryed everything i could get my hands on .
