The Swede-O Tarsal Lok is the best of both worlds when it comes to support and comfort in the realm of ankle braces and supports. With this brace, you get the outstanding comfort associated with lace-up braces combined with the exceptional support found in rigid braces. The built-in stabilizer does not restrict the range of motion but still reinforces the position of the ankle. The stabilizer is adaptive because it molds to the shape of the ankle using body heat as it is worn. This molding provides a custom fit for each user, enhancing the comfort and support with each wear. The majority of the support comes from the shape and placement of the brace so it is not bogged down with excess material near the forefoot and heal. The Tarsal Lok is quickly and easily applied thanks to its speed lacing system. The outer portion of the brace is made of an abrasion resistant and durable fabric called Poly-Tex. The internal components are laminated foam contained in ballistic nylon that provides strength and comfort.
This brace is perfect for everyday use and sports such as football, basketball, and soccer. The low profile design allows it to fit comfortably inside most shoe styles, even if they are not athletic shoes. In fact, the design is so low profile that it may even be worn with orthotics.
