They cause fungus and manky skin around the ankles.

the idea is to wear socks and put the ankle brace on top so for all those people complaining of fungus and whatever, seriously.
If its blistering then obviously ur not doing them tight enough or they are too big.
ASO definaetly the best for ankle braces, and if u think theyre expensive then consider the nxt best option of tape..at $10 a shot it adds up

wear 'second skin' tape under normal rigid tape then use braces and firstly you won't get blisters and ripped skin, secondly you will have mega protection against ankle damage. Level of support really depends on severity of ankle problems - best option if your ligaments are intact is too strengthen them, but if your ankles are not great, then strap and brace and save heaps of dollars for the ankle reconstruction you are going to need by the time you reach 30....

Just get some illegal cortisone and a syringe. Those ankles'll be right in no time.

Ortho!

Spoken like a true, easy to cure Doctor, ready to wreck yet another player's career. Why not add some steroids in too?? Too many quacks out there, even in the AFL/SANFL/NBL, too lazy to work a real solution and only ever consider "medicine" treatments. :(

you never wear tape and aankle braces

(this is what i was told) it weakens your ankle so when you dont have any tape or ankle baces you are basically guaranteed to injure them,
and you wear socks under the braces.
