Rolled ankle again! (Read 614 times)

I doubt there is anything that will prevent it from happening ever again. But one thing Ive read (here and else where) is that improving ankle strength through balance exercises - using a balance board, bosu balance trainer, etc, reduces ankle injuries. I'm just guessing, but maybe there are better or different trail shoes that you could get that provide more ankle stability.

When running trails, I think it's really important to get gait and pronation specific shoes. If you are like me and under-pronate your feet, getting stability shoes is a really bad idea because they tend to push your ankles out. I bought some NB 873's recently and they are the best pair of trail shoes I've ever had. They are stable in the heel but allow for some give from the inevitable root and rock you will step on sideways.
