It is difficult to "reinvent” certain staple products, but GAIN Protection did it again with their Stealth Pro Ankle Support - no more fuss about the laces, they are gone. DuraTec neoprene antibacterial lined semi-sock with RipStop Cordura upper part. It takes just seconds to pad up with these. As the name indicates, these support and protect your ankles, without making them too stiff or taking over the muscle / joint function completely. The elastic straps no longer go underneath your foot, so no cutting circulation and/or causing discomfort. The level of compression is highly adjustable due to the velcro loop covered tongue and side panels.  These are as sleek as it can get, while the 2+2 plastic cups and inserts provide you with the best impact protection out there. Comes with a removable elastic upper strap - you can run them with, or without! A real game changer for sure. Besides the adult size, GAIN make them in KIDS size, too! Made in the European Union.
