For those of you who have used Active Ankles, I have a couple of
specific questions that I couldn't find in past threads:

1. Do they fit OK underneath your leg armor? (I wear 661 4x4s)

2. I wear a size 9 shoe and have thin ankles and feet. Does anyone
with similar feet and ankles have anything to say about the fit?

3. Most importantly: Has anyone had occasion to "use" them in an
actual crash/UPD that would have twisted your ankle? Did they do a
satisfactory job saving your ankles?

Thanks for the help!

1. They fit fine under armor.

3. They really do work.

I like em.

i like them too.

1) fine under armor
2) i wear size 8.5 shoes, and have normal width feet - they fit fine,
feel great.
3) there have been a few times where i wrecked and my feet hit the
ground at a odd angle. i don't know what would have happened, but i'm
not worried about it anymore.

Yes, they are cumbersome. I got my nephew the lace-up kind, but he wants
my active ankles. The lace-ups take him forever to get on and off.
