When You’re On The Trail, Keep Ankle Injuries Off Your Mind
Ankle sprains and acute ankle injuries are quite common among hikers as the nature of their activities puts a lot of strain on the ankle joints. Since you cannot hike with a sprained or injured ankle, it is recommended to keep your ankle stable and protected using an ankle brace for hiking. At Vero Ankle™, we have developed the best ankle brace for hiking that can improve your performance while protecting your ankle all the time.
The adjustable design of our hiking ankle brace fits your ankle perfectly. The BioMemory™ materials used in the braces mimic the shape of the foot to give you a snug fit. So, when your ankle receives some tension, the brace offers dynamic stability to the ankle, restricting the ankle’s movement within the safe range of motion. In other words, the ankle brace keeps your ankle safe without compromising on your mobility.

The Vero Ankle™ - Best Ankle Brace & Support for Hiking
![SizeChart Image](http://veroankle.com/cdn/shop/files/image_15.png?v=1700634512)
Unlike traditional ankle braces, the Vero Ankle™ braces do not limit the ankle’s safe range of motion. Our hiking ankle brace is designed specifically for hikers, keeping in mind the activities they generally perform. The elastomers used in the braces offer dynamic stability, allowing the braces to return to their original shape when tensioned. This feature ensures that your ankle remains properly functional during a long hike.
The adaptable hinge feature of the ankle support hiking braces aligns with the natural ligament constraints of your ankle so that it gets proper support during intense physical activities. As the braces reduce the risk of ankle sprains and injuries, you can focus better on hiking and enjoy the adventure to the fullest.

FAQs about Ankle Brace For Hiking
Can Ankle Support Hurt My Ankle?
If you have chosen an ankle brace that does not fit properly or limits your ankle’s natural range of motion, it can do more damage than good. The braces are supposed to protect your ankle from injuries and offer enough compression to help you recover from an ankle sprain or injury. If they are too tight or too loose, your ankle becomes vulnerable to injuries.
How Do I Protect My Ankle While Hiking?
To ensure your ankle does not get injured while hiking, you need to do strength training exercises for a few months to improve ankle strength and balance. You should also consider wearing supportive ankle braces, which can stabilize your ankle even while hiking. Lastly, you should wear proper footwear that is appropriate for activities like hiking. The Vero Ankle™ braces have a low profile that allows you to wear shoes over them.
Can I Wear Ankle Brace On The Right And Left Foot While Hiking?
Your doctor or physician may advise you to wear an ankle brace during physical activities such as hiking if you have sprained or injured your ankle. In that case, you need to wear an ankle brace only on the affected ankle. However, if you want to wear such braces for additional support and stability, you can wear them on both ankles. The Vero Ankle™ braces can be worn on both the ankles.
Does Wearing An Ankle Brace For Hiking Create A Dependency Or Weaken My Ankle?
There is a misconception that wearing ankle braces during hiking or other high-intensity physical activities can potentially weaken the ankles by limiting the joint’s natural range of motion necessary to keep the muscles strong. However, there are no clinical studies to support this theory. If you are in doubt, consult your doctor or physician to know if you wear ankle braces for hiking or not.
