Troubleshooting

Ankle support feels too tight or too loose

Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the measurement guide. Re-adjust the placement using the fitting tabs to ensure even pressure distribution.

Discomfort around the ankle bone (malleolus)

Verify that the comfort zone is correctly positioned over the malleolus. If discomfort persists, ensure the correct size has been selected.

Support slips down during activity

Check that the support is pulled up evenly and securely. Ensure the size is appropriate, as a support that is too large may slip. The fitting tabs can assist in securing the fit.

Material feels irritating against the skin

Ensure the support is clean and free from any debris. If irritation persists, it may be due to a sensitivity to the material composition; discontinue use if necessary.
