Unlike soft or lace-up braces, the Ultra High-5 features a durable U-shaped shell and hinge system that provides targeted support and stability while still allowing for natural up-and-down motion. This motion allows for “protected movement,” accelerating healing and recovery from an ankle injury. The result is a comfortable, secure fit that supports healing and reduces the risk of re-injury.
This brace is easy to put on and take off, using just one adjustable strap for a customized fit. It’s designed to fit comfortably inside most footwear, and works great with custom orthotics, making it ideal for daily use by individuals who need reliable ankle protection throughout their routine.
Whether recovering from an ankle injury, managing a history of ankle injuries, or seeking enhanced joint stability, the Ultra High-5® delivers dependable support where and when it’s needed most.
Who Should Wear the Ultra High-5?
- Individuals with chronic ankle instability due to a history of multiple ankle injuries.
- Individuals recovering from mild to severe ankle injuries and need “protected movement” to speed their recovery.
- Individuals looking to reduce pain associated with sprains, strains, overuse and arthritis.
The Best Shoes to Wear with the Ultra High-5
- Recommended: Low-top sneakers that have a traditional tongue and laces where you can loosen the laces enough to fit the brace in the shoe.
- Not Recommended: Sneakers that have a sleeve or collar design that limit the opening of the shoe. Due to their limiting design, it is very difficult to insert any ankle braces in these shoes.
- Not Recommended: Tall boots or sandals.
