Hey guys!  At SoleFit, we carry a
number of different ankle braces for
varying types of issues, but one of the
ones that we want to highlight this week
is a lighter weight,  versatile
option called the ASO Vortex.  Now
hopefully this is something that you
never need to use, but if you are
suffering from any kind of ankle
instability issue, maybe you've sprained
your ankle a few times in the past,
this could be a really, really helpful
brace.  ASO makes a more bulky option
called the ASO Evo which also has a foot
boot, but it can be a little bit more
difficult to fit into a soccer shoe or
a dress shoe or any shoe
that's a little bit more low-profile.  So
let's take a look at the benefits of
this brace!
Okay guys so this is a fairly
straightforward brace to put on.  You basically
just pull it up over your ankle and then
it laces up across the front.  The
difference between this brace and the
 more commonly sold Evo brace is
that the Evo brace has an extended boot
that covers the foot but it does tend to
add a little bit more bulk. So again for
someone just looking for that little bit
of extra stability it's really just
these straps for giving you that support.
So what they do, is that you pull this
strap across the front and then pull it
tight across the side.  You take the outer
strap and wrap that across the top of the
foot and then velcro that on the
side and you can adjust the
amount of tension you have and the amount of
support that the brace has by pulling
harder or less hard on these straps.  And then
to secure it,  just use this top piece of
velcro here and that's what's giving
that little bit of extra side-to-side
stability.  So as always we'd love to hear
back from you if you have any questions
or comments on this brace or any other
ankle braces that you may have seen or
have questions about.  Thanks for
listening guys!
