So its been almost 2 years since breaking both ankles/feet and recently slowing started jumping back on the gate to get back in to it and after landing wrong and feeling like I rebroke everything all over again luckly not the case but some very sore and painful tendons that had me unable to walk a few days. Anyways anyone ever use any of the ankle braces out there on the market? Sad the orginal doctor said everything is all good and back to normal but still cant walk with out pain or with out a limp.
 
Tech 10s cured most of my ankle problems while riding

While not riding I wear one of those lace up ankle brace things I bought on amazon forever ago
 
I have some bad ankles myself. Tried buying the lace up ankle braces from EVS. There was no way my foot would fit in my boot with that thing on though. The best thing I have found for my ankles is Gaerne SG12's. I thought my ankles were getting better until i switched for a year to SIDI's lol. Sidis are comfortable boots but for some reason don't give me the ankle support the Gaerne does.

I was checking those out on motosport not many reviews on them if they are worth buying or not. At this point Im wiilling to try almost anything to get somewhat back to normal.

Maybe worth trying the brace then maybe some new boots. My tech 7s are damn near new which sucks but always sell them and go from there.
 
Tech 7s are fine boots but maybe not what you need after having such a tough injury. I would look into a Gaerne SG10 or 12. I found them to be more supportive of my ankles. I tons of Tech 6's Tech 7's and 8's. I got out of A-stars before the 10's came out.
 
I currently have tech 7's and love them. I had tech 10's before that. The 10's have way more ankle support tho! They have the slip on ankle support thing that go on before you put the boot on which have plastic on both sides of the ankle. I would go to a place and try them on though first before you buy them to make sure they offer the support you are looking for as they are pretty expensive.
 
I had a spiral fracture tib and fib and broke a bone in my ankle. The screws sticking out are what bug me the most but I wear sg10s and they are good. I've tried some tech 10s and sidi boots but none of them seemed to have the ankle support my gaernes do.
 
I used these Shock Doctor lace up braces inside my tech-10s when my ankles were messed up, and I still use them for bmx. Pretty sure these are the same thing as the "Troy Lee" braces.
They work good and are slimmer than the conventional ACE lace ups, while offering better support. Bought mine at Dicks, I tried them on before making my decision, can probably find online for a little cheaper.

As far as boots, I stand firm with tech-10s as far as ankle support goes. The inner bootie with the ankle bars does wonders. SG-10/12s are great at first, but once they really break in then they start the feel like there's too much movement like the boot can torque your ankle and spin on you. I think with the ankle braces you'll be good to go with either boot though including your tech-7s.

If this guy says they work then they work. He's pretty rad on a pedal bike. Like pro-rad. Amazes me the stuff he rips up on his instagram.
