    Didn’t prevent rolling ankle

    I bought this brace for my son who plays club college volleyball and has had issues with rolling his ankle. We were careful to make sure the brace was sized properly and was used correctly. The second time he wore it, he again rolled his ankle and while the injury wasn’t as serious as it could have been, the brace did not engage as expected to prevent the injury. The jury is still out for us on its effectiveness.

    Dear Christopher, we sincerely apologize for the experience you've had with our service. We've reached out to you privately to address your concerns and work towards a resolution. Please allow us to understand and resolve the issue. We appreciate your patience and feedback, which helps us improve. Thank you.

    Amazing ankle support

    No longer do I have to worry about twisting my ankle due to them healing incorrectly. Betterguards gives me the support needed while in the office and while exercising! Wish I knew about this 20 years ago!

    It actually worked

    This thing works! I was weird when I stepped on another player's foot with the inside of my foot, and instead of rolling, my foot locked in place, this saving me from spraining my ankle. This is the type of product you wish you would have had after the fact. Don't make the mistake and wait til its too late.

    Product story:

    Sprains: pain, downtime, a long rehab journey back into the game, and then still more secondary injuries. Whether it's with ourselves, friends, or sports idols - we've all experienced it in different ways - and even once is too often.

    Such injuries prevented our founder Vinzenz from pursuing a professional sports career. Commercially available legacy braces offered either too little protection or restricted and limited his body, mind, and performance. Reason enough to bring BETTERGUARDS to life and to create a completely new type of injury prevention together with pioneers from science and technology: The BetterGuard

    As part of the NBA Launchpad - the NBA's start-up accelerator - the first proprietary ankle brace was developed in 2022. It has been successfully tested with international research institutions, such as the Charité in Berlin, as well as other institutes and athletes worldwide.

    Our goal is to help athletes achieve their best performance. Unhindered by injuries or mental barriers. At BETTERGUARDS our goal is to banish ankle injuries to the history books.
