Played hoop in my 50's and knew I would need ankle support. I read that the Lebrons were one of the best for this. Nike was too narrow. Sent away a pair for $120 in favor of this unknown but well tested pair. I've been playing 4 times a week (90 minutes) for over a month now and they still feel great. I wear an Ace velcro ankle strap and it goes with my regular size sneakers. (Width 9.5) Not for the money, but they were $40 cheaper than Nike and way better for me.
