tbrown 26 #27 June 8, 2006 You could always wrap Ace bandages around your ankles. Alternately, a lot of pharmacies sell an ankle support made of Ace bandage type material, but shaped to slip your foot into. I wore one for a while when I first returned from a really bad ankle injury. They work great and can fit over a normal sock. Your humble servant.....Professor Gravity !

WeakMindedFool 0 #28 June 8, 2006 No...my damage goes beyond that. I have an ASO 8 brace I got from my surgeon...he knew I was removing my walking cast to skydive. The lig are all stretched out and require surg fix which I refused, for now (3 months in a cast durring skydiving season....fuck off!). So I wear boots and braces (anyone get that one? OI!).Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for lost faith in ourselves. -Eric Hoffer - Check out these Videos Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eule 0 #29 June 11, 2006 I have worn these Red Wing shoes as my "daily drivers" for about a year, including on all of my jumps. Well before I started jumping I wore Converse All-Star high-top sneakers every day and put on some Wolverine high-top boots when I had to work in the yard or something. The Wolverines came up my ankle another inch or so further than the Red Wings. When the All-Stars wore out, I started wearing the Wolverines all the time, so I was pretty used to that style of shoe. For jumping, though, the Wolverines weren't ideal - the top few lace fasteners were hooks. I went shopping for some hookless boots and found the Red Wings and they seem to work OK.

mjosparky 4 #30 June 11, 2006 QuoteI like the ankle support, but I've got pins n' screws in both ankles...The DZO here wears an ankle brace on every jump. Your doctor has a very good point as well. The Adidas boots we're referring too have very soft ankle support, nothing really stiff. I don't have any issues tracking at all. You want ankle support, here is ankle support. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
