While cheaper and less effective braces can cause an issue known as reliance (where the muscles become weaker and rely on the brace), Bauerfeind have perfected the blend of stability and movement. By restricting or immobilising specific parts of the ankle that need it, and freeing up the rest, you can continue to exercise, building and maintaining strength in the joint.

When a splint or brace is poorly fitted, not fitting to the anatomy or sized incorrectly, it can put pressure on other parts of the foot and leg, causing bruising and pain. Bauerfeind's perfect fit system and anatomic design means you can get the right splint for your ankle, not matter your shape. We've also got a 30 day exchange policy so you can try it on to make sure and swap it for something more suitable if you need to.

Part of our anatomic fit and design means that the braces fit where they need to without being bulky or taking up space where they don't. Our ankle splints follow the shape of your foot and ankle, meaning that most shoes will easily fit over the top of them, sometimes needing a bit of loosening in the laces.

Virtually all of our products can be machine washed on a cold gentle cycle and air dried out of direct sunlight. Putting them on and taking them off carefully is recommended, and for specific product care, refer to the product manual or contact our friendly staff.

All supports and insoles come with a 12 month warranty, and compression stockings with a 3 month warranty for any manufacturers faults. At any point if you've got issues with the product or aren't sure if something is wrong, just contact our helpful staff.
