Great for Recovering Athletes

For sports that require sharp turns and dynamic movement like football, basketball, hockey and tennis, playing through an ankle injury can be dangerous, and the risk of reinjury is high. The McDavid 199 offers compression and strapping to protect your ankle, and features steel stays to maintain healthy alignment, even when running, jumping and kicking. With a fully laced design, the level of tightness and support is highly customisable, so the brace can fit exactly how you want.

Laces for Simple and Customised Ankle Support

When you're playing sports, the level of support needed around the ankle depends on each person. As such, you can adjust the ankle compression with the laces of the McDavid 199. The laces extend from the middle of the foot to the top of the foot, allowing highly customised compression.

Steel Stays for Reinforced Support

More than just a sleeve support, the McDavid Brace features reinforced steel stays on either side. This helps maintain the joint along its axis to prevent further injury. These stays aren't too rigid and move with the ankle, which is great for athletes who want protection without impeding their flexibility.

Ventilated Tongue Keeps You Cool

Great for keeping your feet cool, the HydraVent Moisture Management Material vents and drains excess liquid. Despite the comprehensive foot support, your foot won't get too sweaty!

Prefer an Ankle Brace with an Adjustable Strap?

This McDavid 199 Brace with Stays offers internal rigidity to maintain healthy ankle alignment and prevent excess rotation. However, as an alternative we also carry the McDavid 195 Ankle Support, which uses a sturdy support strap to stay in place and correct ankle movement. The hook and loop design of the strap allows for quick adjustment, even mid match.

Need Stays and Cushioned Inserts?

If you're looking for an ankle support with stays as well as added padding, consider the McDavid A101 Ankle Brace. Like the McDavid 199 it uses steel stays, but the stays are reinforced with protective padding for extremely comprehensive support.
