Short Description
The Hely & Weber Webly Zap Ankle Orthosis (314) delivers exceptional lateral ankle stability while allowing natural foot movement. The brace's figure-8 strap system mimics professional ankle taping to limit inversion and eversion without restricting plantar and dorsiflexion. Lightweight, low-profile, and shoe-friendly, it provides durable protection for athletes and active individuals alike.
The Hely & Weber Webly Zap Ankle Orthosis (314) by Hely & Weber is a low-profile, high-performance ankle brace engineered to stabilize the ankle without sacrificing motion or comfort. Designed to limit harmful side-to-side movement while allowing unrestricted plantar and dorsiflexion, the Webly Zap is ideal for both rehabilitation and injury prevention during sports or demanding activities.
This versatile brace uses Figure-8 stabilizing straps that replicate the feel and function of athletic taping-providing targeted control of ankle inversion and eversion. Its ballistic nylon shell and NoSwet spacer fabric tongue enhance durability and moisture management, while the seamless sole construction maximizes comfort inside footwear.
The elastic strap closure enhances compression and control of the syndesmosis, making it effective for mild to moderate sprains and ligament instabilities. The Webly Zap's universal design fits the right or left ankle and can be easily worn inside most athletic shoes, cleats, or work boots.
For users seeking extra rigidity, optional removable stays (308A) can be added for additional medial-lateral support.
