Why do you need ankle support on the slopes?
Skiing and snowboarding put constant stress and repetitive strain on your ankles and legs. Whether you’re carving through packed snow, tackling moguls, or landing jumps, your joints absorb repeated impact and vibration. A high-quality ankle brace for skiing and snowboarding helps stabilize the joint, prevent ankle sprains, and support natural movement. With proper snowboard and ski ankle support, you can reduce soreness, protect against overuse injuries, and recover faster after long days on the mountain.
How an ankle brace protects you
Our ankle braces for skiing and snowboarding combine targeted compression with stabilizing elements to deliver both support and mobility on the mountain. The advanced design and compression knit promote circulation, reduce swelling, and enhance your awareness of foot positioning inside your ski or snowboard boot. At the same time, the brace helps prevent common injuries by limiting excessive rolling or twisting that can lead to ankle sprains or ligament damage.
We also know how important comfort is in a snug boot — that’s why Bauerfeind Sports ankle supports are slim, breathable, and flexible, ensuring a precise boot fit without sacrificing performance or stability on the slopes.
Preventing injuries beyond the ankle
While the ankle often takes the first impact, skiing and snowboarding also challenge your knees, hips, and overall leg alignment. If you’ve experienced a sprain or instability before, you know how one weak joint can affect your entire movement pattern. That’s why many skiers and snowboarders pair an ankle brace with a knee brace for complete lower-body protection and added confidence on the slopes. By supporting both the ankle and knee, you can maintain better alignment, prevent injuries, and ride with greater freedom and control all season long.

FAQ
What is the difference between an ankle support and an ankle sleeve?
An ankle support offers structured stability with straps or pads that control movement and help prevent sprains. An ankle sleeve focuses on compression and comfort, improving circulation and reducing swelling to enhance endurance and recovery.
Can I wear an ankle brace inside my ski boot?
Yes. Bauerfeind Sports Ankle Supports are slim, lightweight, and breathable, fitting comfortably inside ski or snowboard boots. They provide targeted stability and support without restricting movement — giving you confident, controlled performance on every run.
How do I choose the right size?
To ensure optimal performance and comfort, it’s important to follow the product-specific measurement charts and instructions on each Bauerfeind Sports product page. Our products are anatomically designed and rely on precise measurements to guarantee the correct fit. The right size means optimal compression, stability, and freedom of movement — so your gear supports you exactly as it should.
How do I care for my ankle support?
Bauerfeind Sports Supports and Sleeves are machine washable. Use cold water on a gentle cycle with liquid detergent (no bleach or fabric softener). Lay flat to air dry; do not tumble dry or hang, as it can stretch the fabric. Regular washing helps maintain compression and performance.
