If you're looking to get back into sporting activities following an injury, you might feel a little reluctant to do so without suitable protection.

What Does a Three-In-One Brace Look Like?

The Aircast Airsport Brace works by combining three vital elements to increase performance.

• Smart Design: A high posterior ankle strap is scientifically proven to enhance support and performance

Sizing for the Aircast Airsport Ankle Brace

The Airsport Plus Three-in-One Brace is available in five different sizes ranging from Extra Small to Extra Large. To find out which size you require, please refer to the sizing table below.

Tips and Tricks for a Comfortable Fit

• Your brace should feel compressive when correctly applied 
• Follow our step-by-step fitting guide when putting your brace on
• Ensure your brace is comfortable before adjusting the BOA fastening
• If your heel feels unstable, you may need to reposition

How Should a Correctly Fitted Aircast AirSport Plus Ankle Brace Feel?

The Aircast AirSport Plus Ankle Brace is designed to feel compressive. When correctly fitted, you should feel both sides of the brace gently pressing against the base of your heel and ankle where the shin begins.

This snug fit stabilises the ankle, preventing your foot moving around inside the brace and your ankle rolling once you start walking. If you've correctly fitted your brace, you should start to see a reduction in ankle movement and instability when walking.

How to Correctly Fit Your AirSport Brace

Once you have purchased the correct size AirSport Ankle Brace for you, please follow our step-by-step instructions below to ensure you correctly apply your AirSport:

1. Unfasten all straps and open the brace fully, sliding your foot into the back of the brace
2. Pull the top strap around the back of the calf and fasten down
3. Pull the bottom Achilles strap around the back of the ankle and fix that down
4. Unlock the BOA fastening system by gently pulling the dial toward you
5. In order to tighten the brace, turn the dial clockwise. To loosen, simply turn the dial anticlockwise.
6. Complete your fit by pulling the front cross-strap tightly through the buckle and fastening it down at the front of the brace

Cushions and Protects the Ankle

The Aircast Airsport Plus Brace uses patented and clinically-proven Aircast air cells that cushion and protect the ankle. This is ideal if you've recently suffered from an injury and are nervous about knocking or re-injuring your ankle. The air cells are filled with foam to compress and support the ankle, therefore effectively preventing further damage.

Innovative ATOP Lacing System

The Three-in-One Ankle Brace uses an ATOP lacing system that provides you with customised compression. This allows you to alter the brace according to your needs. This particular system also uses criss-cross laces, which uniformly compress your ankle so as not to create painful pressure points.

Revolutionary BOA Fit System for Customisable Compression

Donjoy are aware that the tightens of a brace effects the entire foot. A BOA fastening system changes the way you think about tightening laces. 

Working in conjunction with the innovative criss-cross lace fastening design, the BOA tightening system works at the turn of a dial. To tighten the brace, simply turn the dial clockwise, and visa versa when a looser fit is required. 

Which Shoe Styles Can the Aircast Airsport Be Used With?

The Aircast Airsport is a highly supportive brace that is suitable for use with trainers and other loose fitting sports shoes. We do not recommend you use the brace with tight fitting boots or shoes. 

If you require a supportive ankle brace for tight-fitting sports shoes, we recommend the Aircast A60

What Are the Advantages of the BOA System?

A BOA system allows the user to tighten a brace across the entire front side. This gives a greater level of customisation when it comes to compression levels and helps to prevent uneven tension points arising.

Posterior High Ankle Strap

The AirSport uses a higher than standard posterior ankle strap to help provide compression at the tibia and fibula. This further enhances stability in the region, creating a more stable platform for pushing off, landing and taking weight.

Stability Enhancing Stirrup Design

Bilateral anatomically-shaped shells help minimise the risk of ankle rollover. This enhances medial and lateral support at the inside and outside of the ankle, helping to make instability and rollover a thing of the past.

Why Is Ankle Stabilisation Important?

Ankle Stabilisation helps prevent rollover, medial/lateral inversion and heel instability, ensuring these potentially highly dangerous issues don't prevent you getting the results you're after. The AirSport is all about spreading compression and stability in order to protect the entire ankle, not just one area.
