7930-20 ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE An ankle support system is provided which comprises an ankle brace portion removably attached to the user's foot and a strap support portion attached to the user's shoe and including one or more straps, said one or more straps being connected to the ankle brace portion during use and being of a length which will: 1) restrain the joint from overextension, and 2) provide relatively unimpeded motion of the ankle joint through its normal range of motion. In certain preferred embodiments of the invention, the strap support portion includes a first strap and a second strap, both of which are attached to the same side of the user's shoe, the first strap being wrapped around the lower part of the user's leg after first having passed around the back of the user's foot, and the second strap passing around the back of the user's foot after first having passed over the top of the user's shoe. The free ends of the straps may be removably affixed, as by means of "Velcro", to an ankle brace member in the form of a laced inner-shoe or, preferably, a Velcro(TM) sleeve wrap- ped around the leg just above the ankle bone, with the straps counter- directionally wrapped about the lower extremity.
