ABSTRACT:
Two wide equal length elastic flexible straps are cut on an angle at corresponding ends which are attached to opposite sides of an athletic shoe near the heel region where the shoe sole joins the upper. Each strap on its outer side relative to the shoe has a loop pile fastener component adjacent to the malleolus and on its opposite side adjacent to its free end has a cooperative hook fastener component. The straps in succession are drawn around the rear of the angle and lower leg under elastic tension and across the upper instep and the cooperative fastener components of each strap are pressed together into holding engagement. The two straps cross each other at the rear and front of the ankle and lower leg. A brace is formed which affords the greatest reduction in inversion and eversion of the ankle immediately adjacent to the collateral ligaments of the ankle.
