Running Braces – Pain-Free Performance

Running Supports & Braces for Every Stride

Running is one of the simplest ways to stay active – but it also places repeated load on your knees, ankles, feet, and lower back. Whether you’re easing back into a jog or preparing for an ultra-marathon, the right running support helps stabilise your joints, improve gait, and reduce injury risk so you can perform at your best.

Bauerfeind supports are trusted by elite athletes across Australia, including the Maroons, Olympians, Matildas, and NBA players. The same technology they rely on is built into every running brace, sleeve, and insole we make.

Support for Running Injuries

If running pain is slowing you down – whether it’s the knee, ankle, shin, Achilles, or back – we’ve got a solution.

Our running supports use medical-grade compression to:

• Reduce swelling and irritation
• Improve muscle activation
• Increase joint stability
• Support proper movement patterns

Ideal for conditions such as Runner’s Knee, ITB Syndrome, patellar tendinitis, Achilles pain, shin splints, and mild instability.

• Overuse-related pain and post-exercise recovery

Enhance Every Step

Running supports don’t just relieve pain – they improve performance.
Our socks, sleeves, and insoles work to:

• Improve proprioception for better control on uneven terrain
• Boost venous return and circulation
• Reduce muscle fatigue on long runs
• Support smoother, more efficient stride mechanics

From short recovery runs to long-distance sessions, you’ll feel the difference with every kilometre.

Find Your Perfect Fit

Each running brace, insole, and compression sleeve is anatomically designed using data from over 500,000 body measurements. This ensures:

• Precise sizing
• Secure, comfortable wear
• Reduced-pressure edges for all-day use

A proper fit means better support – and better results.

Find answers to the most common questions.

Can I wear these all day or just when I play?

Most of our Performance line is designed for wear during active movement rather than all day, while our main range (products ending in "Train" or "Loc") are better suited for injury management and all day wear, whether it's sports, exercise, work or just chores around the house. 

If you're unsure if the support you're looking at is ideal for all day wear, just give us a call on 1300 668 466.

Can I still move properly in these?

These supports are designed to allow for regular range of movement while stabilising the joint and preventing injury. This means you can confidently move in pivots, sudden changes of direction, jumps and landing as well as quick steps and positioning.

Will these overheat?

Bauerfeind's range of supports are made from an ultra-breathable cotton/elastic weave that's perfect for active use of any level. Clinically shown to vent heat more effectively than any other support, it's perfect for air-flow, temperature regulation and comfort.

How do I take care of these products?

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.

Is there warranty for these products?

Every Bauerfeind product is crafted with precision and care and is covered by a manufacturing warranty in accordance with Consumer Law. Warranty periods may vary subject to product range. At any point if you've got issues with the product or aren't sure if something is wrong, just contact our helpful staff.

How do I know they'll fit?

Bauerfeind have an incredibly extensive sizing system for our products based off of hundreds of thousands of patient measurements. The perfect anatomic fit system we use means that the supports are designed to fit your body, not the other way around. (We also offer custom options for a range of our products for those rare few who still can't fit into our sizing range).

Will these change how I play?

While any kind of brace or support will have an affect on your physical movement, it's in a positive sense. More stability in the joints and muscles, increased power with each movement and better balance mean that you'll move more effectively. It may take a little bit of adjustment with some supports that have rigid components, but long-term there should only be an improvement in your form.

How do these help me while I'm running?

When you're running, your ankles, knees and feet are under repeated strain, especially if you're moving along harder surfaces. Our supports stabilise the joint movement and minimise stress and fatigue in the muscles, tendons and ligaments, ensuring you get the most out of each run

Do I have to have an injury to wear these?

The beauty of these supports is their versatility. While there are a wide range of products to manage injury (the "Train" and "Loc" range), the performance line is perfect for helping you to get more out of each movement, not only enhancing your exercise for better results, but helping protect you from injury.
