10 years ago i had a motorcycle racing accident that smashed my ankle and ripped all ligaments, i still now cannot use my ankle fully and had trouble playing paintball and had to use nothing other than big heavy boots, then i found this ankle brace its by mcdavid and allows me to use any shoe/cleat/boot i want and offers 100% support and does not limit me to boots anymore, highly recommend it.
We have been getting these direct from Tanel 360 rev-d , i will give you the contact details if you likeI'm gutted they stopped making the high top JT paintball cleats, which were an excellent paintball boot. I'm still using mine, but they are pretty knackered now. when they finally wear out I'll probably replace them with Tanel 360's. I need good ankle support.
I used an online coverter i am a size 9 which said was US 10 and i added half a size so ordered US 10,5 and was a perfect fit. Darron and Skin did the same so i would say add 1/2 a size on.
I've been toying with the idea of getting a set of vibrams a to play in haha, I reckon I would get the trek versions if I did go ahead with itI recently started playing in Vibram Five Fingers. I've used everything from cleats to track spikes, combat boots, and running shoes. I really like them! The only thing that gets annoying is that stuff gets stuck in between my toes sometimes, but the trail running versions are awesome IMHO.
The trail running versions have some teeth on the soles to grip and they are a bit stiffer, which help in the woods when you run into that random rock or tree root. Here's a picture of the ones I'm currently using:
