The brace delivers maximum stability with Donjoy Velocity technology.
Which Velocity Model is Right for Your Sport?
The DonJoy Velocity series offers three levels of rigidity based on the "softgoods" (wraps) included. Use this guide to match the brace to your activity level:
-
Velocity ES (Extra Support): Includes the full foot and ankle SpeedWrap™. This is the most rigid version, designed for high-impact contact sports like Football, Rugby, and Soccer where maximum inversion/eversion protection is required.
-
Velocity MS (Moderate Support): Features the ankle SpeedWrap™ only (no foot wrap). It provides excellent compression and stability for court sports like Basketball and Volleyball, offering a slightly lower profile for tighter shoes.
-
Velocity LS (Light Support): The "Lite" version consists of the semi-rigid shell only. Best for daily injury prevention or low-impact activities where bulk needs to be minimized.
