Ankle Support - Appalachian Trail

#1

This is kinda a spin off from the previous post but I was wondering if anyone wears ankle braces when they hike? I play basketball and wear an ankle brace b/c i’ve rolled an ankle a couple of times. Is this practical because I’ve never heard of anyone wearing their ankle brace backpacking?

Give trekking poles a try also. They give stability in shakey situations. I used to hike with boots because of my weak ankles. I just did a 200 mile hike in tennis shoes thanks to trekking poles.
