Yes. You need to wear socks with any hinged ankle brace.

Yes. However, once you’ve begun form-fitting the brace to either your right or left ankle, you will need to label it “right” or “left” as it will be custom fit to that side. Watch our Ultra Zoom Fitting Video for more information.

This means the Ultra Zoom is a more advanced design producing a higher level of ankle support. It is designed to move like an ankle joint with a hinge for natural range of motion. Orthopedic braces traditionally have a longer break-in-period, but using external heat helps. Watch our Custom Form Fitting Video for more information.

The Ultra Zoom brace MUST BE WORN WITH SHOES for maximum support, stability, and fit. This brace is not recommended for sleeve-style shoes, tall boots, or sandals.

The Ultra Zoom is initially uncomfortable because it’s new. Like a new pair of shoes, it needs to be worn to be broken in. Wear the brace for 15 – 20 minutes IN YOUR SHOES to begin the break-in-period. The quickest method to achieving maximum comfort is to watch our Custom Form Fitting Video. Don’t forget, Ultra Ankle has a 60 day “Wear the Brace” return policy. Returns in USED CONDITION still receive a FULL PRODUCT REFUND.

The Ultra Zoom will fit into your shoe, you will just need to reset your shoelaces. This means significantly loosen the shoelaces down to the toes. This will allow for your foot and the brace to easily fit into your shoe. Then, re-tighten the shoelaces starting at the toes to account for the ankle brace. This will be the only time you will need to reset your shoelaces. Watch our Recommended Shoes Video to learn more.

Using the Ultra 360 Lace-Up is akin to having a re-usable tape job. Both provide similar support but with the Ultra 360 Lace-Up you are not spending time and money each time you are looking to help prevent an ankle injury like you would with taping.

Yes, your Ultra 360 Lace-Up can be worn on either ankle. Even if you’ve previously worn on the other ankle. This brace is meant to be adjustable to your comfort and support needs.

Your Ultra 360 Lace-Up can should be hand washed with mild soap or detergent and air dried.
