Do they also protect the ankle?

Yes, the cushion covers the ankles also. The top of the cushion is just above the ankles.

yes, it does come up around the ankle and the straps come around the padded part

I bought these to protect my husband's heel when he had a pressure wound. It has Velcro to keep it closed but I found that it would always be out of position and hanging off his foot after a night's sleep. I don't really care for the product, personally.

They do cover the ankle, but they are SO STIFF at the ankle bend that they didn't work for my little dog. On a big dog, the animal's leg (ankle) might be heavy enough to bend the rubber at the ankle joint. I even tried to fold them and band them in half for a week to see if i could create the bend, but the rubber sole if too thick. On a big dog this could be a very good durable boot. Hope that helps!

They seem to be. I sweat some and they still work. I think they work better on ankle when wearing shorts. Have not worn in the ocean yet. Hope this helps. I can recommend the (After Bite Stick) after a bite. Can get at Wal-Mart for $3.00.

It doesn't restrict your movement, it just adds more support to your ankle. I hope this answers your question

I am not sure I fully understand what you are asking. What I think you are saying is the active ankle for just one or a pair, the answer is it is just one. It works well if both your ankles are injured I suggest you buy two.

No, you need to order two. They come with a separate heel cup, but not ankle support.

They probably are if you want them to fit snugly. But that doesn't mean they will fall past your foot. And you could always wrap a small towel or clothing around your ankle first.

It does, or can. Sizing would be important though. I have a size 12.5 foot and possibly larger than average ankle and compression was only moderate. Smaller size purchased would have given more compression.

I don't know anything about ankle injuries, I do know that these bands are very flexible, you have 3 different strengths, the green one is medium and works for all the stretching that I need. I do stretch my legs and upper body with them and they work really well. I do believe you will be happy about buying them.

I don't know how well they'd protect against bunions, since all the padding is under the ball of the foot. I would consider using Dr. Scholl's bunion pads, and taping them in place with sports tape, or using the Danshuz to hold the bunion pad in place.

I think the ankle support would help your ankles.It is a soft support, but if your ankles swell too much it would certainly bind. Hope this helps.

Not sure since they have graduated compression. There is more in the foot and ankle.

This product can be used when you play sports, It gives added support to the ankle that is not provided by a pair of shoes.

They're not long, just barely covering the ankle. However, if you go to the socks' manufacturer's website, you might be able to find what you need. (www.bhmedwear.com)

No, they just clear your ankle by an inch and a half or so. They don't get anywhere near my calf or soleus muscle.

They're great for volleyball & jogging- so I am going to say yes for tennis.Good support to prevent rolling I the ankle without being to confining or too tight.I hope that helps!
