ABSTRACT:
An ankle restraint device having a first or outer ankle brace configured to substantially conform to the lower leg, ankle and foot of the wearer and offer generalized support. A second or inner brace is imbedded between first and second side walls of the outer brace and is specifically configured to encompass the heel and bind it to the remainer of the foot in a heel lock type configuration. The inner brace acts independently of the outer brace and has forward edge portions with arms that extend through openings on the outer brace for purposes of fastening the forward edges of the inner brace together in order to bind the heel. Both the inner brace and outer brace have fastening means which can include a single shoelace trained through eyelets formed in forward edges of the inner brace and outer brace. In one form of the invention, the brace assembly is installed with respect to an outer item of footwear apparel such as an athletic shoe.
