I have lost weight though, currently at 274, 6'2", play basketball for 2 hours about 4 times a week. Update 3: I tried the Zamst 2 brace because of the very high rating reviews, but I felt it wasn't good compared to the Ultra Zoom. Ultra Zoom has better support, easier on/off applying and has great pivot support. Zamst was lose, didn't provide as good as support and was a big hassle to put on properly. I ended up returning the Zamst and buying a second Ultra Zoom for my left ankle. Update 2: So far in about 5 months of continuous basketball at ~290 pounds, it has definitely helped with everything I needed. In fact, I may order another one for my good ankle (left) which just yesterday I rolled while playing. Great! (sarcasm) Update: So far in about 2 months there have been many times this brace has saved me from an injury. If wearing correctly, you will literally feel when it stops a rolled ankle, and you will thank the people who made this. The brace is holding up extremely well too. There is slight squeaking from sweat/water, but it's unnoticeable if you are playing sports. Do not over tighten, as it will put your foot asleep. Remember, you are also tying your shoes, so keep the foot brace a little lose. That's my advice. ------------------------- I am wearing this brace because I rolled my ankle playing basketball and my specialist suggested getting a typical wooden/metal stirrup brace for the healing process. I of course didn't want to go down that route because that's outdated medical technology. So I browsed desertcart and came across this performance/hybrid brace that you can wear in daily or sport conditions. I bought it immediately. When I received the package, it was kind of packed like it was just thrown in the box and taped up. The paper work was old, crinkled, and faded, although the brace was in perfect condition. The brace can be very uncomfortable at first, be sure you wear a high sock for added comfort. Remember, I am putting this brace on as my foot is still swollen from my injury, so my pain can be self caused. But, the brace ends up molding quite well and becoming unnoticeable at times while walking and being active. The plastic is great quality, the material they use for everything else is very well made, the straps are perfectly sturdy for even a big guy like myself. The bottom strap has actually two straps, one on each side, which is genius. Because it allows you to get a even distribution of tension focused on the middle of your foot. However, and this is where I took a star off, the top strap just goes left to right. Why?! This would be the perfect brace if the straps on top (near ankle/shin) were just like the foot straps. Since the top strap only goes from left to right, it makes the brace *slightly* tighter on the left side of your foot, which is noticeable. This not only brings worries of unbalanced support for your right side of your right ankle (in my case), but I am kind of worried about my knee. I am going to test this out much more as I get healed up and ready to play/be active again after my injury. So I will update with more impressions later on in the month. **WARNING** Wear high socks with these, as they say on the warning label/box when you get them. If you don't, the bottom part of the protection will rub against your Achilles tendon. No big deal, but it's a must or it will be extremely uncomfortable. Thanks Review: Really helps stop turning week ankles. - This is my third brace from these folks. I wear it everyday. Holds up for about 3 years, velcro just gives out...lol! My ankle is week from spine injury, this brace holds it straight and steady! Bravo to a company whose product does what they say! ## Features - βœ” Patented Soft-Shell Design – Strong, semi-flexible soft-shell construction custom form-fits to the ankle for exceptional comfort while providing side-to-side stability. Designed for individuals recovering from ankle sprains, returning from high ankle sprains, or helping prevent future injuriesβ€”ideal for rehab, practice, and everyday activity without the stiffness of hard plastic. - βœ” Protected Movement – Traditional lace-up ankle braces rely on the idea that restricting all ankle movement helps prevent injury. Ultra Zoom was engineered around a different philosophy: protecting movement instead of preventing it. Its hinged design allows natural up-and-down ankle motion while helping limit the excessive rolling or turning of the ankle that contributes to sprains. - βœ” Play Without Constant Readjustment – Unlike traditional lace-up ankle braces that wrap the ankle joint, the Ultra Zoom's two-strap system secures the brace above and below your ankle. That means no constant retightening, no stopping to readjust, and no pinching, gouging, or cutting off circulation just to get the stability you need. Set it and forget it. - βœ” Fits Inside Most Athletic Shoes - The Ultra Zoom is lightweight (under 6 oz.) and fits inside most basketball and volleyball shoes, as well as soccer and football cleats. Simply loosen your shoelaces a little more than usual before putting your foot and brace into the shoe, then re-tie them for a comfortable, secure, and stable fit. - βœ” Added Support for High Ankle Sprains – The upper cuff design provides additional support above the ankle to help athletes returning from high ankle sprains regain confidence and return to competition. It also helps protect the upper ankle from the twisting and separating forces that contribute to high ankle sprains. Engineered for multi-season durability. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00IUIJYI8 | | Age Range (Description) | Youth to Adult | | Age Range Description | Youth to Adult | | Best Sellers Rank | #39,949 in Health & Household ( See Top 100 in Health & Household ) #58 in Ankle Braces | | Brand | Ultra Ankle | | Brand Name | Ultra Ankle | | Closure Type | Hook & Loop | | Color | Black | | Customer Reviews | 3.8 out of 5 stars 850 Reviews | | Item Dimensions | 5.25 x 4 x 7.5 inches | | Item Weight | 6.4 ounces | | Manufacturer | Ultra Ankle | | Material | Performathane | | Model Number | 14324 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Part Number | 14324 | | Product Care Instructions | Be sure to watch fitting videos to ensure best possible fit and comfort. | | Size | Large/X-Large | | Special Features | 30-Day Return Even If Used, FSA/HSA Eligible, Hinged Cuff Design for Protected Movement, Low-Profile Fit in Athletic Footwear, Multi-Season Durability | | Specific Uses For Product | Ankle Instability Support, Ankle Sprain Recovery, Rehabilitation After Foot or Ankle Injury, Sports Injury Prevention, Volleyball and Basketball Bracing Specific Uses For Product Ankle Instability Support, Ankle Sprain Recovery, Rehabilitation After Foot or Ankle Injury, Sports Injury Prevention, Volleyball and Basketball Bracing See more | | Sport Type | Basketball, Football, Pickleball, Soccer, Volleyball | | Target Use Body Part | Ankle | | UPC | 864791000010 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Use for | Ankle | | Warranty Description | 1 Year Manufacturer | ## Product Details - **Age Range (Description):** Youth to Adult - **Brand:** Ultra Ankle - **Size:** Large/X-Large - **Use for:** Ankle ## Images ![Ultra Zoom Hinged Sports Ankle Brace – Sprained Ankle Recovery & Prevention - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/714tBGIlotL.jpg) ![Ultra Zoom Hinged Sports Ankle Brace – Sprained Ankle Recovery & Prevention - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71IlAb6IneL.jpg) ![Ultra Zoom Hinged Sports Ankle Brace – Sprained Ankle Recovery & Prevention - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71H9UHw3aQL.jpg) ![Ultra Zoom Hinged Sports Ankle Brace – Sprained Ankle Recovery & Prevention - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71qmM7bkG2L.jpg) ![Ultra Zoom Hinged Sports Ankle Brace – Sprained Ankle Recovery & Prevention - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61va4i8PnBL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color, Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: What do I do if the Ultra Zoom doesn’t seem to fit in my shoe?** A: The Ultra Zoom is designed to fit inside athletic shoes. "Reset Your Shoelaces" - Loosen laces fully, insert your foot with the brace, then re-tighten from the toes up. This one-time setup ensures proper fit, comfort, and support. **Q: Why can the Ultra Zoom initially feel uncomfortable?** A: The Ultra Zoom requires a short break-in period. Wear it inside your shoes for 15–20 minutes at a time to allow it to form to your ankle. For best results, see the Custom Form Fit video on the Fitting Instructions Card. **Q: How long does it take for the Ultra Zoom to feel comfortable?** A: Most users notice improved comfort after initial use, whether during daily activity, a practice, or a game. As the brace warms and forms to your ankle, it becomes more natural and comfortable during movement. **Q: Why does the Ultra Zoom feel loose or unsupportive at first?** A: The Ultra Zoom is designed to work inside a properly laced athletic shoes - not sandals, tall boots, or slip-on style shoes. Once secured in your shoe, it locks into place to provide maximum stability and comfort during movement. **Q: The Ultra Zoom is an orthopedic ankle brace. What does that mean?** A: The Ultra Zoom provides a higher level of stability than typical ankle braces. The hinged design supports natural motion while protecting against harmful side-to-side movements. Like many orthopedic products, it requires a short break-in period. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Sturdy, semi-comfortable, great support, questionable straps...**must wear high socks with these** *by A***R on April 8, 2015* Update 4: Many months down the road, with many hours of use on them, both of my Ultra Zoom braces are in tip top shape and still working as intended.

Thanks ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really helps stop turning week ankles. *by A***R on July 5, 2026* This is my third brace from these folks. I wear it everyday. Holds up for about 3 years, velcro just gives out...lol! My ankle is week from spine injury, this brace holds it straight and steady! Bravo to a company whose product does what they say! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Brace, & juxtaposed to Ultra CTS & competitor products *by B***O on May 11, 2025* This ankle brace is a great option for peace of mind, while maintaining mobility with the hinged design! Playing basketball has been the biggest issue for my ankles, mostly mild to moderate sprains over the years like a lot of people. I had a severe left ankle sprain and fibular avulsion in 2021, that I didn't get medical treatment on, and since then, my left ankle has been somewhat unstable and has less range of motion. Reluctantly, I tried lace-up ASO ankle braces, and found they slightly reduced my agility, but continued to use periodically. after suffering a sprain while wearing the braces, I resolved that I would only ever wear them when currently rehabbing an injury, as they affected my play and didn't adequately protect from injury. I eventually went to foot/ankle specialist in physical therapy, and he recommended that I needed a stiffer product to protect my ankles, and recommended the Ultra CTS brace. I purchased two and found them inconveniently bulky, not good looking, and somewhat reduced my agility as well, BUT, they were effective at stopping injuries when I had stepped on another player's foot. I determined that I do need that level of support to continue playing basketball, but that this may be overkill for my other love, flag football. That's when I doubled down and got a pair of Ultra Zoom braces, and these are similar in construction, but with softer material, preserving a more mobility. I had once incidence where coming down from a jump ball attempt, got my feet angled up with a defender and mildly sprained my bad left ankle in the Zoom braces, but I stayed in the game, and missed no time afterward, so while certainly less still, it still can be effective. I have never sprained in the Ultra CTS while playing either basketball or flag football. I've played one flag football game in the Ultra CTS braces just to try it, and really did not notice a difference from the Zoom, just for the record. Overall, I'd recommend both braces, and I'm glad I bought both. I understand the price may dissuade a lot of people from having a pair of each, so if debating between the two, here's what I'd say. Both help protect the ankles, and the hinge design does make it easier to run compared to a lace up. I like the CTS for basketball because of the high risk of stepping on feet, and given my situation, I need some actual stiffness, not just proprioceptive feedback in ankle braces to avoids injuries, given my already compromised joints. I don't like that the top part of that brace easily starts to unclip from the bottom. This has happened several times in games, and it starts clicking and gets uncomfortable, and probably is less supportive in that case. It requires taking off your shoe and braces to reinsert. But I've had zero injuries in over a year playing in them. I like the Zoom for flag football because it allows less inhibited movement, while still adding a little bit of structural integrity. However, the straps did start to come unglued within about 6 months of owning them. I still use the braces, but at the price point, I think they could be built more sturdily. I also think that given 230+lb frame and athletic play style, I am vulnerable to basketball landing injuries more than most, so for people who don't have x-rays showing an abnormal joint, this is the better one to use for basketball- I just needed something stronger than most of us will to stay in the game. I have played basketball in the Zoom braces a few times, and it is more comfortable and easier to play in them than the CTS, and offers plenty of protection while "on the floor". Coming down from above the rim? Again, at my weight, I wouldn't totally trust it. If you're reading this, you're probably considering a better option because you don't like or haven't had success with lace up ankle braces. I'd say for larger/more powerful bodies with a significant history of ankle injuries, Ultra CTS is the best option for you. For smaller athletes, or those who have only had more mild sprains, Ultra Zoom is rigid enough for you, looks better, and is easier to play in. Before trying Ultra Ankle, I purchased the Zamst A2-DX braces worn by Stephen Curry, and I do think that's probably a good option for a smaller body who's game is predicated on shiftiness, it's not nearly rigid enough for someone like me. Ultra Zoom is probably the best option for most people. If it's not stiff enough for you, go CTS. Zamst A2-DX is more expensive, and less supportive, but is more comfortable than Ultra Zoom, & perhaps a better fit for soccer (I don't play soccer). Hope this helps. ## Frequently Bought Together - Ultra Zoom Ankle Brace – Hinge Design Promotes Faster Healing and Accelerated Recovery with Natural Protected Movement to promote Early Activity After Injury and Prevent Future Injuries in Life and Sport. - Zamst A2-DX Sports Ankle Brace with Protective Guards For High Ankle Sprains and Chronic Ankle Instability-for Basketball, Volleyball, Lacrosse, Football-Black, Size, Right and Left Specific --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sn/products/13374524-ultra-zoom-hinged-sports-ankle-brace-sprained-ankle-recovery-prevention](https://www.desertcart.sn/products/13374524-ultra-zoom-hinged-sports-ankle-brace-sprained-ankle-recovery-prevention) --- *Product available on Desertcart Senegal* *Store origin: SN* *Last updated: 2026-09-03*
