An ankle brace is a garment that is worn around the ankle to protect it or for immobilization while allowing it to heal from sprains and other minor injuries. Ankle Sleeves are made of neoprene or knit fabric and are designed to provide a primary level of protection along with moderate compression. Ankle sleeves provide support and relief from pain, swelling, and inflammation often recommended for those with tendonitis, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, or injury.
