Query: not perfect, but nothing is

These make a nice substitute for taping, as they are strong and light. They are not quite thin enough that you will be able to to tighten your shoes the same, but they are pretty close.I have used and own several other styles, but this is my favorite brace I've found. I wear mine for basketball, and while they will not prevent a catastrophic sprain like I am recovering from, they provide the support and reassurance you need to be able to work your ankle back into shape.If you have unlimited free tape, and somebody to do it for you, go with it. If you want something strong, light, flexible without feeling unstable, and as thin as one can expect, try these.
