Ankle brace with stays for a better support:

An ankle support with stays provides an additional stability for an injured ankle. Depending on your ankle pain type or ankle sprain severity level, you can pick either an ankle brace with stabilizing plastic stays or more rigid metal stays.

To fit more easily inside running shoes, some models of ankle supports are built with low profile stays. Per example, the Ankle Brace Speed lace Stays and Figure 8 Straps Form Fit, or the Aso Ankle Support and Brace With Stays.

For sports with a high-stress level on your ankle joints, like: running, Soccer, Basketball, Baseball, Football, or Volleyball; to protect your fragile ankles, use an ankle support with stabilizers.
