Your ankle brace size is different from your shoe size because it’s based on your ankle circumference. View our size chart for instructions on measuring your ankle circumference. You’ll use that measurement to figure out which size brace will provide the best fit.
Measure around your ankle with a tape measure as shown in the photo and then reference the size chart to the right. If your ankle is measuring right at 14" then we would recommend going with the smaller size.
| SIZE | IN | CM |
|---|---|---|
| S/M | 10.5in – 14in | 26.5cm – 35.5cm |
| L/XL | 14in – 16in | 35.5cm – 40.5cm |
Traditional ankle supports were designed to restrict ankle movement to limit pain, but many people living with ankle arthritis continued to experience pain with every step because the pressure inside the joint never changed.
The Ultra CTS was designed differently. By helping reduce pressure on the ankle joint while preserving natural ankle movement, it provides meaningful pain relief without the restriction of a walking boot. The result is greater comfort for the everyday moments that matter most.
Historically, ankle braces have been designed to restrict side-to-side ankle movement to help prevent ankle injuries. While that approach works well for many people with ankle instability, it doesn’t address the pressure inside the ankle joint that causes arthritis pain.
The Ultra CTS was designed differently. By helping unload the ankle joint, it reduces weight-bearing pain while preserving natural ankle movement, helping you move more comfortably throughout the day.
Protects Natural Ankle Movement
Allows your ankle to move naturally through its normal up-and-down range of motion.
Comfortable. Secure. Adjustable.
The three-strap system provides a comfortable, personalized fit while helping the Ultra CTS stay securely in place throughout the day.
Helps Prevent Ankle Rolls.
The semi-rigid shell provides lateral stability to help prevent the ankle from rolling while supporting natural ankle movement.
Relieves Arthritis Pain. Treats High Ankle Sprains.
The removable upper cuff helps unload the ankle joint to reduce arthritic ankle pain. It also provides consistent, circumferential compression that helps limit lower leg and ankle rotation when treating high ankle sprains. As your recovery progresses, the upper cuff can be removed to help transition back to activity.
The Ultra CTS is designed for people looking to relieve ankle arthritis pain without sacrificing natural ankle movement. Whether you’re walking through your neighborhood, climbing stairs at home, or simply trying to get through your day more comfortably, the Ultra CTS was built to help you get your daily life back.

Although your new ankle braces will fit either ankle when you get them, make sure to mark them “right” or “left” on the white tab on the upper strap and wear them on the same ankle each time. Since the ankle braces will form fit to your ankle, they will become specific to one foot after you break them in.
“I had a double leg fracture near the ankle and my leg was dislocated so I tore a bunch of tendons, ligaments, etc. My orthopedic surgeon recommended your brace. I wear it all day long and it is helping. I have played racquetball twice in the last two weeks. It seems to give me great support but allows me they mobility I need to play the sport. Also, it goes on so quick and easy which is nice.”

“I purchased the Ultra Ankle after my daughter sprained her ankle playing capture the flag. Unfortunately, it was 2 days before her soccer season started and she was devastated when she heard it was a high ankle sprain. I expressed mailed the brace so she could start using it as soon as possible. Once she put it on, it was amazing. She went from being able to put no pressure on her ankle to being able to walk normally without crutches. She said it was a miracle. You should have seen the smile on her face. I have no doubt that the ultra ankle has been the reason for her very quick recovery. She will be resuming soccer after just 3 weeks which is very, very quick with a high ankle sprain. Thanks for making such a fabulous product.”

“First off, your product is far superior to any other ankle brace I have used (which is a lot). My surgeon approved me to use it instead of the lace up, and my physical therapist loves it. I’m still in a boot “ween” program, but my ankle feels significantly better in the brace. “
Wallace G.
“My daughter loves her ankle braces. She rolled her ankle bad back in May and at the AAU nationals in Orlando there was a booth and she tried them on there and fell in love. We had tie up braces and she threw them out after wearing these. We have the Ultra CTS for her bad ankle and the zoom for the other ankle. She plays volleyball and uses them every practice and game. I love how it allows the ankle to move naturally without letting it roll.”

Lessen weight bearing pain caused by an acute ankle injury or a condition such as osteoarthritis by reducing the impact on your joint. The Ultra CTS is the only ankle brace that helps lower pain by absorbing some of the painful impact normally transferred to your ankle joint. With less pain you’re able to focus on increasing your activity and shorten your recovery time.
The Ultra CTS is used extensively by physicians and sports medicine professionals with patients when they transition from a walking boot to active rehabilitation because it provides a full, natural range of motion and helps you regain flexibility and strength.
The Ultra CTS is considered a custom treatment system because it transitions with you during your recovery from an acute ankle injury. Detach the upper cuff portion of your brace to transform it into a low-profile activity brace once you’re ready for increased mobility. This ensures your investment lasts through every stage of your rehab, protecting you from the sidelines to the starting lineup.
