2. Wrap and secure the calf liner strap, carefully fastening it down
3. Run each calf ratchet strap through a the loop openings on the opposite side of the brace
4. Pull, wrap and lock both these straps snugly into place until comfortable
5. Align the tongue until positioned at the centre of the forefoot
6. Pull and wrap the ankle straps into place without impairing circulation

The DJO Velocity Brace can be used within a range of different footwear styles, including football and rugby boots. To maximise your comfort when wearing it inside tight fitting boots, we recommend adjusting the tongue placement of your boot until comfortable.

Football Boot Sizing Tips and Tricks

• Ensure laces and any tongue straps are fully loosened before putting your boots on
• For maximum comfort, wear with shin-only shin pads
• Make sure you are wearing your brace over the top of your football socks
• Place the uncovered toe end inside the boot whilst widening the entrance area with your hands

What Range of Motion Does the Velocity Brace Give?

An ankle brace is only as good as the range of motion it affords the user. The Donjoy Velocity Ankle Brace is designed to maximise the range of motion in the ankle whilst supporting and stabilising the joint to promote healing and a proper execution of motion range when walking and playing sport.

Intuitive and Innovative Heel Hinge Design

The DJO Velocity uses a hinge located at the heel to allow the baseplate to flex and move with the foot and ankle joint. This hinged design maximises range of motion and prevents the ankle feeling “locked in”, which is a common complaint when wearing more restrictive braces and supports.

Lightweight Design

The Donjoy Velocity Ankle Support is a low-profile, lightweight ankle brace that prevents abnormal ankle inversion, eversion and rotation while also allowing natural, unrestricted dorsi and plantar flexion. This helps ensure your foot doesn’t move into uncomfortable positions, which could increase your likelihood of sustaining an injury. The support also features rigid upright supports to protect the ankle during impact so you remain as safe as possible, even when you’re taking part in extreme or contact sports.
