FAQs
What material are the ankle protectors made of?
They are made from a Polyester knitted fabric with integrated protective discs.
Are these suitable for sports other than football and rugby?
While designed for football and rugby, they can be used in other sports requiring ankle support and protection, provided they fit comfortably within the footwear.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the sizing chart provided by the manufacturer, typically based on shoe size or ankle circumference. A snug fit is recommended.
Can I machine wash these ankle protectors?
It is recommended to hand wash them in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the material and padding. Avoid machine washing and drying.
Will these protectors fit inside all types of shoes?
They are designed to fit within most athletic shoes, particularly cleats. Ensure there is enough room within the shoe to accommodate the protector without causing discomfort or altering the shoe's fit significantly.
How much protection do the discs offer?
The protective discs are designed to offer cushioning and absorb some impact, providing support to the ankle joint during athletic activity.
Troubleshooting
Ankle protectors feel too tight
Ensure you have selected the correct size. If the issue persists, consider wearing them for short periods initially to allow the Polyester to adapt slightly. Ensure they are not bunched up inside the shoe.
Pads shift out of position during activity
Confirm the protectors are worn snugly against the ankle and the athletic shoe is properly laced to secure them. Ensure the correct size is being used.
Material feels restrictive
Allow a break-in period. The Polyester knit will become more comfortable with use. Ensure the ankle protectors are positioned correctly and not folded or creased.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Ensure they are positioned before lacing up your shoes.
Compatibility: Primarily designed for use with football and rugby cleats or athletic shoes that accommodate an internal sock-like layer. The stirrup design is intended to work in conjunction with footwear.
