McDavid 4302 Phantom Ankle Support Sleeve

Modern sports shoes like football boots can be really narrow, making wearing an ankle brace difficult. The McDavid 4302 Phantom Ankle Support Sleeve is really thin and weighs only 73 grams, making sure it won't get in the way of you being your best on the pitch, court or track. Despite this minimalist design, it still offers fantastic bracing and uses flexible stays to prevent unhealthy ankle rotation.

Who Can Make Gains with the McDavid Ankle Brace?

With an ultra-thin build and lace-free, the McDavid 4302 Brace is ideal for wearing inside narrow shoes like football boots. The rubber grip bottom helps avoid slips within the shoe, making sure you can run, jump and kick without risk of rolling your ankle and risking re-injury. Designed with flexible compression, it protects your ankle while you heel, without compromising your athletic ability.

Anatomical Stays for Flexible Support

While some ankle braces use rigid stays to prevent harmful ankle movement, this can really inhibit flexibility during athletic activity. The McDavid 4302 Sleeve uses flexible, contoured stays which maintain healthy rotation, without making your ankle too stiff. 

Prefer an Ankle Brace with a Strap?

This McDavid 4302 Brace uses a really simple and streamlined design to provide support without any bulk. However, if you would prefer a version with a strap for easier adjustment, we also carry the McDavid 4305 Ankle Support. The Wraparound Strap functions like athletic taping for a personalised level of compression, but isn't too cumbersome.
