Active Ankle 277417 T2 Rigid Ankle Brace
FITTING INSTRUCTIONS
- Your Active Ankle brace will require a brief break-in period.
- For maximum support, wear a sneaker or a lace-up shoe.
- Wear a comfortable, absorbent sock at least calf height.
- Adjust the large fastening strap by sliding it up for high-top shoes, or down for low-top shoes. Positioning the strap in the center will allow you to remove the strap for washing.* The large fastening strap is pre-positioned in the LOW setting.
- Place your Active Ankle® brace inside the shoe with the logo label positioned so that it will be on the outside of your ankle.
- If your shoe has a removable insole or orthotic, place the Active Ankle® brace under it for additional comfort. If doing so, we highly recommend removing the white heel pad.
- Place your foot inside the shoe. Make sure to adjust the pivot points to be in line with your ankle bones.
- Place the small posterior strap comfortably and without tension around the back of your ankle and secure it as low as possible to the Velcro® on the inside.
- Secure the large fastening strap firmly around the ankle. For maximum support, thread your outside shoelace through the loop and tie laces.
