More support than lace-ups. More mobility than rigid braces Designed to fit inside athletic shoes for proper support Maximum stability for injured or unstable ankles Hinged design enables protected movement Built for recovery, return to activity, and confident performance Designed for those who want to stay active—not sidelined Maximum Stability Without Restricting Movement The Ultra Zoom® is a hinged ankle brace designed to provide maximum stability while still allowing natural movement. Unlike lace-up ankle braces that can limit performance and freedom of motion, the Ultra Zoom helps protect your ankle from excessive turning while allowing you to move freely during play. This balance of protection and mobility makes it ideal for recovery, prevention, and returning to activity after injury. Ankle Stability for Recovery and Protection The Ultra Zoom is designed to support recovery from ankle sprains and repeated injuries by combining strong stability with protected movement. Its hinged design helps control harmful side-to-side motion while allowing natural up-and-down movement—so you can move confidently during daily activity, exercise, or sport without fear of re-injury. Who is the Ultra Zoom For? Individuals recovering from an ankle sprain Individuals with 4 or more previous ankle injuries Anyone seeking maximum stability with a history of repeated ankle sprains Those needing maximum support during high-impact activity Especially volleyball players at the net and basketball players under the rim Athletes returning to sport after a high ankle sprain Why Choose Ultra Zoom Over Lace-Ups & Rigid Braces Lace-up braces can loosen during activity and may pinch during movement Rigid braces can feel bulky and restrict natural motion Ultra Zoom provides consistent stability with protected movement No more lace-up pinch. No unnecessary restriction. Just confident, supported movement. How to Wear the Ultra Zoom Designed to fit comfortably inside most athletic shoes Loosen your shoelaces all the way down to the toes before putting the brace on Insert your foot with the brace into the shoe Retighten laces starting from the toes up for a secure fit Avoid shoes with sock-style or tight collar designs, as they may limit adjustability and fit. Sizing & Fit Sizing is based on ankle circumference, not shoe size. Measure the circumference just above the ankle bone to determine the correct size. If you are between sizes, consider sizing up for comfort. Frequently Asked Questions Question: What do I do if the Ultra Zoom doesn’t seem to fit in my shoe? Answer: The Ultra Zoom is specifically designed to fit inside athletic shoes without bulk — it typically requires a one-time set-up adjustment. We recommend resetting your shoelaces by loosening them all the way to the toes before putting the brace on. Once your foot and brace are inside the shoe, re-tighten from the toes upward to ensure a secure fit. This one-time setup ensures proper fit, comfort, and support.

Answer: Like a new pair of performance shoes, the Ultra Zoom requires a short break-in period. We recommend wearing the brace inside your shoes for 15–20 minutes at a time to allow it to mold to your ankle. For best results, follow our Custom Form Fitting Video for a faster, more personalized fit. Take time to wear it and allow it to form to your ankle for the best fit and performance. Question: How long does it take for the Ultra Zoom to feel comfortable? Answer: Most users begin to notice improved comfort after a full practice or game. As the brace warms and forms to your ankle, it becomes more natural and comfortable during movement. Following the Custom Form Fitting Video will help speed up this process. Question: Why does the Ultra Zoom feel loose or unsupportive when I first put it on? Answer: The Ultra Zoom is designed to provide full support and stability only when worn inside a properly laced athletic shoe. Be sure to wear it with secure, lace-up athletic footwear — not sandals, tall boots, or slip-on styles. Once inside a proper shoe, the brace locks into place for maximum stability and comfort. Question: The Ultra Zoom is an orthopedic ankle brace. What does that mean? Answer: As an orthopedic-grade brace, the Ultra Zoom offers a higher level of ankle stability than typical compression or lace-up braces. Its hinged design mimics natural ankle motion while stabilizing against harmful movement. Like many orthopedic products, it requires a short break-in period. – Watch our Custom Form Fitting Video to learn more. Question: Can I wear the Ultra Zoom on either ankle (left or right)? Answer: Yes — the Ultra Zoom is initially universal and can be worn on either ankle. Once form-fitted to one side, it becomes customized for that ankle. We recommend labeling it “left” or “right” after fitting. – Watch our Ultra Zoom Fitting Video for step-by-step guidance. Question: The hinge on my Ultra Zoom is squeaking. What do I do? Answer: A slight squeak occurs if the hinge dries out — it’s completely normal. Simply apply a silicone-based lubricant spray to the hinge and wipe off any excess. This will restore smooth, quiet motion. Question: Do I need to wear socks with the Ultra Zoom? Answer: Yes. For comfort and hygiene, we recommend wearing crew-length or athletic socks with the Ultra Zoom — just like with most ankle braces.
