POD® ANKLE BRACE
DonJoy Performance
Moderate ankle support and roll control while allowing 360° movement. Compression similar to taping, easy on/off design, and low-profile fit for comfort in shoes. POD® technology engages support only when needed, helping to prevent ankle rolls and sprains during high-impact sports or active daily activity.
Recommended for:
- Ankle Rolls
- Grade I & II Ankle Sprains
- Chronic Ankle Instability
- Re-injury Prevention
Find the Right Fit:
- On the injured foot, wear a sports sock that covers the ankle.
- Stand upright if possible, or place the foot flat on the ground and weight as if standing.
- Measure the circumference of the ankle diagonally from the heel to the ankle crease, where the foot meets the lower leg, as shown.
- 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.

Is this brace right for me?
The DonJoy Performance POD® Ankle Brace provides the ideal balance between maximum ankle protection and natural athletic movement. The moment your ankle nears an at-risk position, the brace engages instantly, blocking the inversion before your ligaments take the force. Protection on Demand™ (POD®) technology stays completely out of your way during normal play, without altering your speed, footwork, or natural stride the rest of the time.
This brace is indicated for athletes managing chronic ankle instability, recovering from a previous sprain, or looking to stay protected without sacrificing performance. Its ultra-lightweight, low-profile construction fits inside most athletic shoes and cleats.
Ideal for:
- Return to sport after a prior ankle sprain
- Proactive protection against chronic ankle instability
- Active non-contact sports like basketball, volleyball, soccer, tennis, and hiking.
Find the Right Fit:
- On the injured foot, wear a sports sock that covers the ankle.
- Stand upright if possible, or place the foot flat on the ground and weight as if standing.

How To:
Brace Application Guide
For improved comfort, we recommend wearing an athletic sock under the brace before application. Open and loosen the straps, then step into the brace and position the foot so it sits fully within the foot cradle. Set the ankle strap above the ankle joint, feed it through the loop, and secure it snugly to help stabilize the ankle during movement.
To receive maximum therapeutic support, the ankle brace should feel snug and supportive without being excessively tight or restricting circulation.
