The Össur FormFit Ankle Brace with Figure 8 Straps is a hybrid ankle support that combines the rigidity of a traditional ankle stirrup with the comfort and conformability of a soft ankle brace. Built with Exoform technology, the brace features a stirrup-shaped plastic exoskeleton that molds to the wearer's anatomy, delivering firm inversion and eversion control while remaining significantly less bulky than a rigid stirrup alone.
The integrated figure-8 strapping system wraps around the ankle in a crossing pattern, further limiting flexion and extension movement beyond what the standard FormFit brace provides — giving it roughly 20–35% more protection than a traditional stirrup brace, according to the manufacturer. The quick lace-up closure allows for fast, secure application, and the low-profile design fits easily inside standard athletic or work footwear. Breathable, moisture-wicking fabric supports all-day wear without excess bulk or heat retention.
This brace is well suited to orthopedic, sports medicine, and rehabilitation settings, and is commonly used for Grade I/II ankle sprain rehabilitation, chronic ankle instability, and prophylactic use in high-impact sports such as basketball, soccer, and football.
