How do I stop my brace from squeaking?

This is an easy fix. Yes, sometimes the Zoom will squeak because of the advanced resin used in the Performathane shell. Any type of spray lubricant, such as silicone, sprayed directly in the rivet/hinge area where the upper and lower components meet will stop the squeaking. You can purchase spray lubricant at any hardware store – we typically use WD-40 Silicone Spray but any silicone spray will do. If you’re a volleyball player and see us at a tournament, we would be happy to spray your braces for you then as well.

I wore my brace for the first time and it’s uncomfortable. Is there anything I can do?

Ultra Ankle braces require a break-in period for the shell of the brace to form-fit to your ankle. Typically this takes a practice or two with athletes or wearing for 4-6 hours for non-athletes. If you are wearing braces on both ankles make sure you mark them R or L (right or left) on the white tab of the top strap. Once the brace has an opportunity to adjust to the shape of your ankle it will be very comfortable to wear and fit in the shoe much easier. For more information, view our break-in guide.
