Since a field hockey player is always on the move, it becomes important to find braces that remain effective throughout the game. Unlike the ankle tapes that lose their effectiveness within the first fifteen minutes of applying, the Vero Ankle® field hockey ankle support retains its shape even after going through a lot of strain and tension. The BioMemory™ material used in the braces stretches dynamically and returns to its original shape when tensioned. As the ankle remains stable without losing its mobility, it can reach its full potential during the game.
If you are worried that wearing ankle braces for the entire duration of the game may cause skin irritation, Vero Ankle® has a solution for you. Our field hockey ankle brace is made of breathable material with perforated holes in the boot. This offers enough airflow to the ankle, preventing the buildup of sweat, which often causes skin irritation. You can also add or remove the padded inserts from the braces to decide the level of support you need at your ankle.
