The side supports have a configuration to encase both sides of the ankle and with the lower end of the side supports for insertion into the sides of the shoe. Pad members are formed of a dense flexible material located on the inner surface of each side support to form a cushion between the ankle and the side supports. The side supports are secured to firmly encase the ankle and lower leg and includes a counter strap extending between the side supports at a lower position just above the heel and a fastener located on the side supports to receive the laces of the shoe so that the laces can be tightened and tied to immobilize the ankle against inversion or eversion or anterior subluxation while permitting planter-flexion and dorsi-flexion.
