Built for the Beautiful Game

Soccer is a sport defined by precision footwork and nonstop motion — and no joint takes more stress than your ankle. From quick cuts to slide tackles, your ankles absorb every unpredictable turn and impact. That’s why ankle injuries are the most common injury in soccer, sidelining players across all levels of competition.

At Ultra Ankle, we design ankle braces that protect your performance without slowing you down. Whether you’re a youth player working on fundamentals or a collegiate center back competing at the highest level, Ultra 360 and Ultra Zoom offer the right support — for both prevention and recovery.

Let’s find the brace that’s right for your game.

Why Soccer Players Need Ankle Braces

Soccer puts your ankles under constant pressure. Quick directional changes, full-speed collisions, uneven field surfaces — they all increase the risk of a rolled ankle or a high ankle sprain.

And once you’ve suffered a sprain, the odds of reinjury increase dramatically — especially without protection.

Common Causes of Soccer Ankle Injuries:

  • Pivoting or cutting on planted feet 
  • Tackles or contact from other players 
  • Landing awkwardly after headers or challenges 
  • Recurring instability from prior sprains 

Ankle braces can help prevent these injuries by stabilizing the joint while allowing you to stay mobile and explosive. And if you’re recovering from a previous sprain, the right brace will support your ankle through protected movement, speeding up your return to the field.

Ultra 360: Flexible Support for Everyday Play

If you’re looking for lightweight, breathable protection that fits easily inside a soccer cleat, the Ultra 360 lace-up brace is a great starting point.

Made from multi-directional stretch materials, the Ultra 360 delivers mild to moderate support for players who want everyday protection without bulk. It’s ideal for:

  • Youth athletes just getting started 
  • Recreational players 
  • Athletes with no prior ankle injuries looking to prevent their first 

However, like all lace-up braces, the Ultra 360 applies even compression around the ankle — and that can limit range of motion and reduce on-field performance. For players who rely heavily on speed, agility, and rapid cuts, a more advanced design (like the Ultra Zoom) may be a better long-term fit.

💬 “Works great, good quality, fits to size. Just what I had been looking for. I have been searching for a while for a black ankle brace (Ultra 360) to wear with my soccer cleats. You can hardly notice it and it has good support.”
Michael T., rec soccer player

Ultra Zoom: Play Fast, Play Protected

The Ultra Zoom is built for serious soccer athletes who need maximum protection without sacrificing performance. Whether you’re returning from a previous sprain or pushing yourself at the elite level, this brace gives you game-ready stability from warm-up to final whistle.

What sets the Ultra Zoom apart is its Performathane® shell, which forms to your ankle using body heat for a custom fit. Unlike lace-up braces, it restricts only the harmful movements that cause injury — allowing for protected movement during sprinting, cutting, and striking.

Ideal For:

  • High school and college athletes 
  • Players recovering from a past injury 
  • Those with chronic ankle instability 
  • Anyone who wants all-game support without bulk or stiffness

💬 “I tried taping as well as many variations of ankle braces, and nothing compares to the Ultra Zoom. I wear them for every practice and every game. I cannot play at my full potential without them.”

Heidi R., soccer mom
