Ankle Brace

Trail Brace – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can I wear Trail Brace with running shoes?

Yes, absolutely. Trail Brace is designed for trail runners and fits easily inside running shoes. The material is slim and flexible, so it won’t cause discomfort or pressure points even during longer runs.

2. Can I use it with hiking boots?

Yes, you can. It works well with high-cut hiking boots too. The brace sits comfortably under the boot and still gives full ankle support without creating extra bulk.

3. Does it actually help with ankle pain or instability?

Yes, most users notice better stability and less strain, especially when running on uneven terrain or recovering from a sprain. It gives steady compression and support that help reduce swelling and keep the ankle stable.

4. What’s the quality like?

Trail Brace is made from durable elastic and breathable nylon. It keeps its shape well even with regular use and doesn’t lose support quickly. The fabric is strong but still comfortable enough for daily wear or long runs.

5. Is the sizing accurate?

Yes, sizing is based on your regular shoe size.

S fits EU 36–39

M fits EU 39–42

L fits EU 42–46

If you are between sizes, for example EU 39.5, we usually recommend going with M. The S will feel tighter and might stretch out faster because it’s under more tension. The M will hold its shape longer and still give firm support. If you prefer more compression, go with S. If you want a longer-lasting fit, choose M.

6. Will it stretch out over time?

A bit, yes. The fabric softens slightly after the first few uses but still stays supportive. It adjusts to your ankle shape for a more natural fit over time.

7. Can I wear it on both feet?

Yes, Trail Brace is universal and can be worn on either ankle.

8. How do I wash it?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry flat. Avoid hot water, tumble drying or twisting to keep the elasticity strong.

9. Can I wear it all day or overnight?

It’s fine for all-day use during activity or recovery. Wearing it overnight occasionally is okay, but not every night, as compression should support rather than restrict circulation.

10. Can I use Trail Brace to prevent injuries?

Yes, definitely. Trail Brace isn’t just for recovery. Many runners and hikers use it as a preventive support on uneven terrain or during long sessions to keep the ankle stable and reduce the risk of rolling or twisting.
