Ankle Braces and High Top Sneakers

I've always had weak ankles. I picked up the Adizero Speedwraps a few years ago when I was in the States, and combined with high tops I haven't sprained my ankles even once since. They aren't bulky, but they are hard/impossible to find in Australia strangely - I usually chip in with others and make an Eastbay group purchase to help bring down the shipping costs.

Used to tweak my ankle a shitload in some high cuts, changed to low and somehow it stopped. It has a lot to do with how high off the ground your foot sits. Thick sole = bad times.

Anon^^ my advice is to make sure you do ankle strengthening and flexibility exercises on a regular basis, no matter what you do to make you feel safer on court by wearing protection, there is no substitute for prevention...

All the things you've mentioned will give some support. As to what's best....whatever feels comfortable for you. Over the years I've heard every theory from which tape/brace is best to the experts who'll passionately expound on their ideas that strengthening the ankle is the only way to go and are vehemently against taping
Bottom line is.....doesn't matter what you do if you get yourself in the wrong situation your ankle will be damaged. Seen plenty of occasions that professional tape jobs have just been snapped by a bad landing
