The Ultra High-5 is built for individuals dealing with chronic ankle instability who need a solution they can rely on long-termโnot just temporary relief.
Unlike compression sleeves or lace-up braces that rely on tension and compression, the Ultra High-5 uses a rigid, bilateral structure to help keep the ankle secure during everyday movement.
Its low-profile design fits inside low-top work boots, hiking shoes, and everyday footwear, making it a practical option for long hours on your feet, uneven terrain, and daily routines where your ankle needs to hold up.
Stronger Than Sleeves & Lace-Ups
Compression sleeves and lace-up braces rely on tension and compression to create a temporary feeling of stability.
The Ultra High-5 takes a different approach, using a rigid structure to provide a more consistent solution for those who need long-term ankle stability.
Controls Side-to-Side Movement
The Ultra High-5 uses a rigid shell and bilateral hinge design to help limit side-to-side ankle rolling.
At the same time, the hinge allows natural up-and-down movement, so you can walk comfortably without feeling restricted.
Built for All-Day Wear
The Ultra High-5 fits comfortably inside low-top work boots, hiking shoes, and everyday footwear.
Its single-strap, hook-and-loop design stays secure throughout the day without constant readjustment, while also making it easy to put on and remove.
Constructed for Long-Term Reliability
The Ultra High-5 features a structurally sound, rigid design that delivers dependable stability for daily use.
It provides consistent reinforcement over time, making it a reliable option for work, walking, and uneven terrain.
Who Is the Ultra High-5 For?
- Individuals dealing with chronic ankle instability
- Active adults who want more confidence in everyday movement
- Workers who spend long hours on their feet in boots or work shoes
- Those who spend time on uneven terrain, including hiking and outdoor activity
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Why can the Ultra High-5 initially feel uncomfortable?
Answer:ย Like a new pair of shoes, the Ultra High-5 requires a short break-in period. We recommend wearing the brace inside your shoes for 15โ20 minutes at a time to allow it to mold to your ankle. For best results, follow ourย Custom Form Fitting Videoย for a faster, more personalized fit. Take time to wear it and allow it to form to your ankle for the best fit and performance.
Question:ย Why does the Ultra High-5 feel loose or unsupportive when I first put it on?
Answer:ย The Ultra High-5 is designed to provide full support and stability only when worn inside a properly laced shoe, low-top work boot, or hiking shoe โ not sandals, tall boots, or slip-on styles. Once inside a proper shoe, the brace locks into place for maximum stability and comfort.
Question:ย The Ultra High-5 is an orthopedic ankle brace. What does that mean?
Answer:ย As an orthopedic-grade brace, the Ultra High-5 offers a higher level of ankle stability than typical compression or lace-up braces. Its hinged design mimics natural ankle motion while stabilizing against harmful side-to-side movement. Like many orthopedic products, it requires a short break-in period. โ Watch ourย Custom Form Fitting Videoย to learn more.
