Most ankle braces force a change of shoes. The MalleoLoc L places its rigid shell only on the outside of the ankle, in front of the malleolus bone, and remains thin enough to fit into a sports or city shoe. This shell blocks outward twisting movements that cause repeated sprains.

• Two non-elastic straps secure the shell to the lower leg and foot for support that does not loosen when walking
• The foot's roll, from heel to toe, remains free on stairs, hiking, or cycling
• A small plantar cushion can be added under the foot if needed to engage the muscles that lift the foot
