Hey guys,
Do any of you use ankle braces on a regular basis?
I've got pretty dodgy ankles now so I have to at least strap them both up of use a brace. I'm trying to find a good supportive one that isn't too bulky or restrictive.
Any good ones you guys know of?

Nope, not me! What about the ones Cristiano Ronaldo wears, i heard he wears some sort of ankle brace. Check on soccer.com or some sports health website they should have something, otherwise your stuck with your bung ankles...

Yeah, C. Ronaldo tends to wrap that white tape over both ankles (on the outside of his socks). I've used tape a fair bit but it's a pain cause if you want to do it right you have to shave up your leg a bit. Not a good look down at the beach in summer

.
I've got a moulded ankle brace for my left ankle (which is the worse) and it's very supportive but quite bulky. I'll go have a look on soccer.com and see what they've got. Just was looking for other peoples experiences.
Thanks

There's another thread goin on about this stuff at the moment. They talk about what Ronaldo wears, pressure bandage or something to keep the blood flowing.
