How it works
On in under a minute
Two straps cross over the top of the foot and wrap the ankle in a figure-8 — the same pattern physios use with tape, without the tape.
-
01
Heel in
Set your heel into the open-heel pocket in the centre of the wrap.
-
02
Cross it over
Take the long strap over the top of the foot and round the ankle, then the second strap the opposite way to form the 8.
-
03
Set your tension
Fasten and adjust until it feels snug, not tight. Shoes on and away you go.
Support that moves with you, so you can think about your day instead of your ankle.

Support, minus the faff
Rigid braces need bigger shoes. Tape needs re-doing every session. The Flex-8 sits between the two.

Understanding ankle support
Does wearing support weaken your ankles?
It's a common worry that wearing support makes an ankle lazy or dependent on it.
Support and strengthening do different jobs. Strength work builds the muscle, balance and control. Support gives you extra stability on the day you want it. One doesn't replace the other.
Strengthen your ankles for the long term. Support them along the way.
A lightweight figure-8 wrap gives the ankle a bit of extra proprioceptive feedback and lateral support without locking the joint, so people can keep moving while they build the strength back. It’s not a substitute for rehab, but it’s a sensible thing to wear for sport or long days on your feet if your ankle doesn’t feel trustworthy yet.
Made for
Wherever you're on your feet
Running
Thin enough for a snug running shoe, secure over uneven ground.
Pitch and court
Football, netball, padel, basketball — quick cuts and changes of direction.
Walking and hiking
A bit of extra feel underfoot on rough paths and long days out.
Long shifts
Sits under a sock inside work boots and clogs, all day.
Support and strength
Wear it when you want it. Build strength alongside.
A wrap doesn't replace strengthening, and strengthening doesn't stop you wanting a little extra feel on a bumpy pitch. They do different jobs. That's why packs of two or more come with our 4-week routine: short mobility, strength and balance sessions you can do in the living room.
Fresh injury, swelling or pain that isn't settling? Get it looked at by a GP or physio before relying on any support.
Reviews
From people wearing it

I've tried a few ankle supports over the years and most have been far too bulky. The ANKORA support is lightweight, comfortable and fits easily inside my running shoes. Really impressed with the quality and how secure it feels.
I play five-a-side a couple of times a week and wanted something that wouldn't restrict my movement. This is exactly what I was looking for. Easy to put on, comfortable during training and doesn't feel bulky inside my boots.
I'm on my feet most of the day and wanted some extra ankle support without wearing a massive brace. ANKORA is comfortable, breathable and discreet enough to wear with my everyday trainers. Great product!
Questions
Will it fit inside my trainers or work boots?
It's designed to sit under a sock inside most trainers, football boots and work boots. With very snug footwear you may want to loosen the laces a touch.
What size do I need?
One size with adjustable straps, fits most adult ankles and either foot.
Can I wear it all day?
Yes, as long as it's snug rather than tight. If your toes tingle, go numb or change colour, loosen it off.
How do I wash it?
Close the straps, hand wash cool and leave it to air dry.
How long does delivery take?
You'll get a tracking link by email as soon as it ships.
What if it's not for me?
You've got 30 days to send it back for a refund. Full details are in our returns policy.
I've just hurt my ankle. Is this for me?
The Flex-8 is a comfort and support wrap, not a treatment. For a new injury, a lot of swelling or pain that isn't settling, see a GP or physio first.
Get back to it. Keep your trainers.
30-day returns and a 12-month warranty on every wrap.
