I have been pretty tough on my ankles, and they don't like me very
much anymore. I don't wear boots for support. I use these:

I can wear these with any shoe or boot and I don't have to worry about
the support of my footwear wearing out before I need it the most. If
you want ankle support, these do the trick.

Something to think about: If you are wearing tall stiff boots, you
might do more damage if you twist or roll your ankle than if you are
wearing low top shoes.
