DonJoy Performance Ankle

Find the Right Fit:

  1. On the injured foot, wear a sports sock that covers the ankle.
  2. Stand upright if possible, or place the foot flat on the ground and weight as if standing.
  3. Measure the circumference of the ankle diagonally from the heel to the ankle crease, where the foot meets the lower leg, as shown.
  4. Use chart to find your size. If you land between sizes, choose the larger option.

A correctly sized brace will feel comfortably snug and supportive without being excessively tight.

Product Questions

Would this brace help with foot drop, for times / shoes where I don't want to wear a full-foot knee height AFO?
Question by: S on Jul 20, 2016, 1:40 PM
Unfortunately no, for drop foot you would need to wear an AFO. We have the Super LITE AFO, see below:
