Aircast A60 Ankle Support – Stabilizing Ankle Brace for Sprains & Instability
Call 866-218-0902 to confirm the correct size and left or right foot selection before ordering.
The Aircast A60 Ankle Support is a lightweight stabilizing ankle brace designed for patients managing ankle sprains, chronic ankle instability, ligament weakness, and return-to-activity recovery. Unlike soft compression sleeves, the A60 uses molded stabilizers positioned at a 60-degree angle to help reduce inversion and eversion injuries while maintaining a low-profile fit inside most shoes.
This brace is commonly selected for patients who need stronger lateral ankle protection without moving into a rigid walking boot. Its single-strap design makes daily use faster and easier than traditional lace-up braces while still providing strong functional support for both walking and athletic activity.

Why Choose the Aircast A60?
Many ankle braces either provide too little support or feel too bulky for daily wear. The Aircast A60 is designed to prevent rollover injuries by controlling ankle motion while staying comfortable enough for daily walking, work, and sports use.
This brace is commonly used for:
- Grade I and Grade II ankle sprains
- Chronic ankle instability
- Ligament weakness after injury
- Recurrent ankle rollover injuries
- Sports recovery and return-to-play support
- Walking support for unstable ankles
- Post-rehabilitation ankle protection
The stabilizers are angled to help guard against the most common ankle injury mechanism—inversion—while the low-profile design allows easier use inside athletic shoes and work footwear.
Sizing Guide – Choose Size + Left or Right Foot
This brace requires two selections:
- Choose your correct size
- Select Left or Right foot
Sizing should be based on your normal shoe size and ankle fit. Proper fit is critical for stabilization and comfort.
| Size | Foot |
|---|---|
| Small | Left or Right |
| Medium | Left or Right |
| Large | Left or Right |

How to Choose the Correct Brace
- Select the injured ankle — left or right
- Use your regular shoe size as your starting point
- Consider swelling or post-injury wrapping that may affect fit
- Choose the size that allows secure closure without pressure points
- Call before ordering if you are between sizes or unsure
When to Size Up
- If swelling is significant
- If you are between sizes
- If you wear thicker athletic socks regularly
- If previous braces created excessive pressure points
When Not to Size Down
Do not size down for tighter compression. Proper ankle positioning and stabilizer alignment matter more than aggressive tightness.
Fit warning: A brace that is too loose will not properly control ankle instability. A brace that is too tight may create discomfort and poor shoe fit. Call 866-218-0902 for sizing help before ordering.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Aircast A60 used for?
It is used for ankle sprains, chronic ankle instability, ligament weakness, and return-to-activity support when stronger stabilization is needed than a compression sleeve provides.
Is this better than a soft ankle sleeve?
Yes. The molded stabilizers provide real ankle control and rollover protection, while soft sleeves mainly provide compression and light support only.
How do I choose the correct size?
Use your regular shoe size and select the affected foot (left or right). If you are between sizes, call before ordering for fit guidance.
Can I wear this all day?
Yes. Many patients wear the A60 during work, walking, sports recovery, and daily activity where ankle support is needed.
Do I need a prescription for this brace?
Most patients purchase directly, but insurance reimbursement may require a prescription depending on your provider and plan.
What if I order the wrong size?
Call before ordering whenever possible. Proper fit is the biggest factor in avoiding unnecessary returns and ensuring strong ankle stabilization.
What if my ankle instability gets worse?
Persistent pain, repeated rollover injuries, or increasing instability should be evaluated by your physician or orthopedic specialist. A brace helps support recovery but does not replace diagnosis.
Can I use this for sports?
Yes. The A60 is commonly used for return-to-play support and ongoing ankle protection during sports and active recovery.
