FAQs
What is the primary benefit of this ankle sleeve?
The primary benefit is providing a contoured, comfortable compression fit that adapts to the ankle and foot for mild support and a sense of stability during activity.
Can this sleeve be worn for severe ankle injuries?
This sleeve offers moderate support and is best suited for mild sprains, strains, or general support. For severe injuries, a more robust brace recommended by a medical professional is advised.
How do I determine the correct size?
You should measure the circumference of your ankle at the narrowest point and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. Ensure a snug but not constricting fit.
Is this ankle sleeve suitable for everyday wear?
Yes, the comfortable knit design makes it suitable for everyday wear, especially if you experience mild ankle discomfort or need extra support during daily activities.
Can I wear this sleeve inside my shoes?

How often should I wash the ankle sleeve?
It is recommended to wash the sleeve after each use or as needed to maintain hygiene. Follow the hand-wash and air-dry instructions carefully.
What material is the sleeve made from?

Troubleshooting
Sleeve feels too tight or too loose.
Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart to measure your ankle circumference accurately. If it's consistently uncomfortable, it may not be the right size for your ankle.
Material feels scratchy or irritating.
Wash the sleeve according to care instructions. Ensure no debris or washing residue remains. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult with a healthcare professional.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: This ankle sleeve is designed for simple slip-on application. Ensure the sleeve is oriented correctly, with the contoured fit aligning with your ankle and heel. Gently pull the sleeve up over your foot and ankle until it sits comfortably and snugly.
Compatibility: The sleeve is designed to be worn with most athletic footwear, including sneakers, cleats, and court shoes. Its low-profile design prevents undue pressure or interference with shoe fit. It is intended for adult use.
