Does this version of the brace have any plastic or metal stays that support the sides of the ankle? If so are they removable?

No. The Speed Lacer does NOT have stays. It is supported by the long strips that come up from the bottom. So they're sturdy but soft at the same time.

no there are no metal or plastic stays in this brace. It is a tight wrap held by velcro and the straps wrap under the foot for arch support. The is the same one that orthopedic doctors order for you for $125 and up

Secured via a single elastic strap in the middle of the shin guard. The straps work fine, I use mine all of the time without any problem. I would suggest using a little bit of medical tape around the ankle to keep them from slipping down.

I use sensi pink self adhere wrap around the ankles. It keeps them from twisting or falling off. Just be careful not to wrap it too tight. I buy the sensi wrap here on Amazon. http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NHB4BY/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

There two strong plastic braces inside the brace. Doesn't appear to be any metal on or in brace.

i am not sure which support is level 2, but i bought these because i have broke both ankles and my right ankle has plates and screws on both sides of it and i am limited ambulatory and do use a wheel chair, but do walk around the house here and there and these support my ankles perfectly and they help ease the pain a bit also...well worth buying...hope that helps ya

The sleeve offers no support. It is simply a fabric barrier between your body and the brace so that the brace stays cleaner longer. It is thin nylon.

You must be thinking of a different product. My MalleoTrain brace is nearly two years old, but it did not include any tape or strapping of any kind. It is simply a very well-reinforced sleeve (exactly like the photograph shows). It was one of several different braces I purchased for use after ankle reconstructive surgery. I found this MalleoTrain brace to be most comfortable and effective for my needs. I hope this helps you.

Because of the stays on the sides, this brace stays put. I does not slide down, slide down, or roll down. I love this brace because it does the job and is comfortable....more so than most elastic or neoprene braces.

It does not have a splint. It's much more comfortable than the plastic versions.

It worked great when I used it,especially as it was easy to use vs. proper laces, but can't honestly compare it to other braces on the market due to no experience with any others, sorry! I finally succumbed to foot surgery due to major pronation of my foot sliding away from my ankle (ouch!), and now I no longer have need for a brace, but it worked fine when I needed it! Sorry I can't be more helpful!

There is a cushion but I suggest you remove it (it just sticks to the hard plastic part of the brace) and put the whole brace under the insert in your shoe. It's much more comfortable and more stable is you were the brace this way.

Turn the brace around and move the small strap to the backside. There aren't different braces for left vs right ankle.

No. I was not impressed with the "brace"- it really did not add that much stability- much better products available

You put the main part if the brace on and adjust with Velcro. Then there is another set of elastic bands that you pull over this for more support and it also attaches with Velcro. It provides great support that you can adjust to your comfort.

It's all elastic or neoprene; no metal. It's good for moderate support. If you need more support, you need a thicker brace, or one with metal bracing.
