"Just put it. Feels great. Very supportive just walking around in the house. Broke my right ankle 38 years ago and after 25 years in the Army, that ankle needs a little more support especially when i am workout and golfing or just in the yard. It feels very secure."
Move With Confidence Again
The PowerStep® Dynamic Ankle Support Sock (DASS) combines the stability of an ankle brace with the flexibility of a compression sock, helping you stay active, and get back to the activities you love without the bulk of traditional supports.
Why Choose DASS?
Engineered for Recovery, Built for Movement
Whether you’re recovering from a sprained ankle, dealing with chronic ankle instability, returning to sports, or looking for extra support during long days on your feet, the DASS is designed to help you move with confidence and stay active doing the things you love.
Its low-profile design fits comfortably inside most athletic and casual shoes, making it easy to wear during workouts, walking, work, travel, or daily activity.
Important Fit & Sizing Guidance
Designed for a Snug, Supportive Fit
The Dynamic Ankle Support Sock is intentionally designed with firm compression to provide stabilizing support. Because of this, it may feel tighter than a traditional sock or sleeve during your first few wears.
If you are between sizes, have wide feet, a high instep, swelling, or prefer an easier on/off experience, we strongly recommend sizing up for the best fit.
Fit Tips
Getting the most out of your Dynamic Ankle Support Sock starts with the right fit. Keep these tips in mind for the best comfort, support, and overall experience.
What to Expect
The secure, performance-focused fit helps provide targeted compression and ankle stabilization while allowing natural movement during activity and recovery.
Sizing Recommendations
For the best fit, refer to the measurement and shoe size chart before purchasing. If you are between sizes, have wide feet, a high instep, or experience ankle swelling, consider sizing up for easier application and improved comfort.
The DASS may feel snug during the first few wears, which is normal and expected as part of its supportive design.
Sizing Guide
Step 1:
Measure your foot circumference (from heel to instep):
Measure around your foot by wrapping a flexible measuring tape under your heel and over the highest point of your instep (top of your foot).

"Overall a decent ankle product for injury prevention. Pros: innovative design, not bulky in the shoe like other braces. Relatively comfortable. Cons: would have liked some support for the Achilles tendon. Hard to put on and take off. Need to wear a second pair of socks on top because too slippery in the shoe. The heel placement for the straps is not super comfortable and sometimes slips up during play. Would recommend only for preventative measures and not post injury. I am currently using a pair of these for pickleball 3 hours a day , 6 days a week and they are holding up. I have more mobility than my lace up ankle braces but would have liked it if the sock was more of an athletic type sock. There is definitely potential to make this brace a keeper."
Power step was not for me
"I wear a size 12 shoe so O purchased the large sock which was supposed to be good up to size 12.5. It was way too small and very hard to get on. With both straps anchoring on 1 point on the back of the heel, this created a pressure point when wearing shoe and was very uncomfortable."
Perfect active support
"This is my 2nd purchase. The best brace to allow me to keep wearing cleats and running shoes with adequate support for my ankle!"
Best Ankle Support Ever!
"I have tried every form of ankle brace/support out there and the Support Sock is by far the best. I broke my ankle over 20 years ago and have been using braces to stay active on worn out and declining ankle joint. Ive been using all types of braces and supports to stem off the inevitable Full Ankle Joint Replacement that is looming in my future. Most braces/ supports do nothing or very little in the way of support or stabilization of the ankle joint and the ones that do are big and uncomfortable, getting a shoe or hiking boot on is impossible. The Power Step Support Sock is a game changer. Ive been using it every day for 3 weeks now and the results are amazing. I can be on my ankle all day with very little pain or soreness. My ankle feels much better in the mornings where before I had a lot of pain and stiffness. This brace works! The only complaint I have is getting the brace on. It takes a lot of strength and finesse to get this support sock on, it's not easy. That's probably why it works so well, getting the brace off is not to much of a struggle. Overall, it's the best support/brace for the ankle I have ever used and Ive used them all. Great Product!"
Sock falls down
"The sock would ride down, and therefore would become loose, as the straps moved lower."
Great fit. gives peace of
"Great fit. gives peace of mind for my son recovery from an injury."
Good size fit but still moves
"The size fits correctly with the chart for the corresponding shoe size. It is difficult to put on, but still moves around inside my shoe. It feels good on the ankle and tendons, but gets a bit out of place while playing tennis."
This is so great for ranch work!
"Just got these and came right back for another one. My right ankle has peroneal tendinitis and no way can i wear a brace in my work boots. I have a 7.5 acre property with plenty of uneven ground and hills to walk. No option to "take a break" while I recover. These socks are like a warm hug to my ankle and make such a difference! sizing: I followed the instructions and measure up across the vamp and I'm glad I did that rather than go by shoe size. Had I gone my shoe size, I would have gotten a medium (as I'm a size 10). However, I ordered a large and the sock really works. Now I just need a couple so I can wear them all the time."
"Comfortable. And it works."
Q&A
- How is your power step dynamic ankle support sock/compression sock for ankle pain and injuries better than any other ankle brace?
- Hi Janice! The PowerStep Dynamic Ankle Support Sock is designed to provide support through compression and stability without fully restricting movement, unlike many traditional ankle braces. Most ankle braces work by limiting motion to protect the joint, which can feel stiff and restrictive. The Dynamic Ankle Support Sock instead combines targeted compression and stabilizing support to help reduce swelling, improve comfort, and support natural movement - making it a great option for everyday wear, activity, and recovery.
