Frequently Asked Questions

How is the Kids' sleeve different from an adult small size?
It is specifically scaled and proportioned for a child's developing anatomy, not just a smaller version of an adult product. This ensures the compression zones and fit are correct for their smaller bone structure and muscle mass.

How do I choose the right size for my child?
Accurate measurement is crucial for effective support and comfort. Measure the circumference of your child's leg just above the ankle bone. Use the product's specific pediatric size chart—do not guess based on age or shoe size.

Will my child be able to put this on by themselves?
Older children and teens often find the slip-on sleeve design easy to manage. Younger children will likely need assistance from a parent to ensure it is positioned correctly on the ankle.

Is this support suitable for a child who has just gotten a cast off?
It may be part of a rehabilitation plan post-cast, but always follow the specific instructions of your child's doctor or physical therapist. They will advise on the appropriate type and level of support for the rehabilitation stage.

Can it be worn for sports like soccer or basketball?
Yes, its low-profile, breathable design is suitable for wear during many youth sports. It provides gentle support that can help prevent re-injury. Check with league rules if unsure.

How do I wash the support to keep it in good condition for my active child?
Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Lay flat to air dry. Avoid bleach, fabric softeners, and high heat from dryers to preserve the material and compression.
