Quick answer: This is the Össur Formfit ankle brace with Speedlace — a low-profile lace-up ankle brace that stabilizes and protects the ankle for sprains, chronic instability, and sports/prophylactic use. Its Speedlace single-pull system laces up and adjusts quickly (even without removing your shoe), while figure-8 strapping mimics athletic taping for inversion/eversion control, and removable semi-rigid stays add adjustable support. Breathable, lightweight, and slim enough to fit inside most shoes. Fits either the left or right foot. Available in 7 sizes. FSA eligible; no prescription required.

About this product
The Formfit ankle brace combines the security of a lace-up with the motion control of taping and rigid stays — for stability during recovery or activity:
- Speedlace quick-lace system — a single-pull lace tightens and adjusts fast for a secure, customized fit; easy to re-tension without taking your shoe off.
- Figure-8 strapping — wrap-around cross straps mimic athletic taping and provide a heel-lock, limiting inversion/eversion (the side-to-side motion that causes ankle sprains).
- Removable semi-rigid stays — medial/lateral stays add extra support; leave them in for maximum stability, or remove them as you progress through recovery.
- Circumferential elastic cuff — support, stability, and compression around the ankle.
- Low-profile & breathable — lightweight, ventilated fabric that fits easily inside most shoes for all-day or athletic wear.
- Fits left or right — one brace works on either foot.
Used for: grade I–II ankle sprains, chronic ankle instability, tendonitis, post-injury support, and prophylactic (preventive) use in sports like basketball, soccer, and football.
Sizing
Available in 7 sizes (2XS–2XL). Sizing is based on ankle circumference — measured diagonally over the base of the heel and across the ankle bone. Check the size chart to find your size.
