Best Overall
1. Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a stability shoe suitable for overpronators but also works well for neutral runners. It does a great job of supporting your ankles and keeping you stable on every step.
What We Like
The GuideRails System on the Adrenaline GTS 23 is great for keeping your rearfoot stable, preventing any unnecessary movement that could cause instability in the ankle. It’s bolstered by a structured heel counter, which adds even more stability to the shoes.
One of the best things about the GuideRails is how unobtrusive they are. Neutral runners can wear them as comfortably as overpronators, making them versatile shoes.
The sturdy heel is complemented by the one-piece upper, which wraps around the foot and locks your foot in place. More stability without added weight or bulk.
Underfoot, there’s a generous piece of DNA LOFT foam, which is soft and comfortable. It does an excellent job of absorbing shock, which makes quite a big difference in reducing the load on your ankles.
Another thing that helps those with weak ankles is the traditional 12mm drop on this shoe. A higher drop takes strain off the calves and Achilles, reducing the load on the ankles and lowering pain while increasing stability.
A grippy blown rubber outsole ensures that you stay steady on your feet at all times, not giving your ankles any excuse to twist or turn.
Why We Like It
The Brooks Adrenaline GTS 23 is a nice-looking shoe, but it’s great for most feet. Aside from fitting almost any runner comfortably, it features subtle but strong stability, plus a range of other features that help to keep the ankle stable.
What to Consider
The Adrenaline GTS 23 is fairly stiff – partly why it’s so supportive. This is great for overpronators and while the shoe works for neutral runners, some people might find it too stiff.
What’s New
New DNA Loft foam in the midsole is softer and lighter with just enough firmness to prevent it from feeling too mushy.
PROS:
- GuideRail support system gently guides and reduces excess motion of your foot for a more efficient stride
- One-piece mesh upper is supportive and hugs your foot in all the right places and locks the foot down well
- Soft, supportive midsole foam is responsive and absorbs impact, which reduces the load on the ankles
- Structured heel counter is well padded and provides a secure lockdown in the rearfoot
CONS:
- These shoes are fairly stiff
Top Value
2. Brooks Launch GTS 10
The Brooks Launch GTS is sleek and stylish! It’s an excellent shoe for maintaining ankle health, strength, and stability. Plus, it’s a nice value for money.
What We Like
Like the Adrenaline, the Launch GTS 10 features Brooks’ GuideRails system, which is stable without being restrictive and can be used even by neutral runners. They keep your heels in place, eliminating movement that could cause ankle pain.
A breathable, sleek mesh upper clings to the foot, locking it down comfortably but effectively to add an extra element of stable protection. It features a “Speed Heel,” which flares slightly outwards but shouldn’t affect your lockdown.
It’s surprisingly lightweight, too, at less than 8 ounces. You don’t have to sacrifice speed for ankle stability! The cushion, DNA, is noticeably lighter than others, adding some pop to your run on every step.
It also absorbs shock well, saving your ankle joints from jarring that could cause pain, weakness, and damage. The rubber outsole does the same, as well as keeping you steady on your feet on different surfaces.
This shoe is also well-priced, which is why it’s our top value pick.
If you’re wondering how it differs from the Adrenaline, it’s not quite as cushioned and doesn’t feel quite as good when you put your feet in. So if you value comfort and cushioning, go with the Adrenaline. If you prefer a less expensive shoe, choose the Launch GTS.
Why We Like It
The Launch 10 is an affordable and sleek-looking shoe. It provides just the right amount of support and shock absorption for most runners to ease ankle pain and increase ankle stability.
What to Consider
Some may feel a little less stable with the Speed Heel, although it still provides an excellent lockdown despite its unusual shape.
What’s New
This is a small update and it’s mainly aesthetic. The upper has been redesigned to be more breathable and provide an excellent fit. It’s also dropped in weight, which is fairly significant.
PROS:
- Breathable, mesh upper with targeted structure gives you a secure fit while keeping your feet cool and dry
- Plush and responsive DNA cushioning provides excellent shock absorption and energy return
- GuideRails provide stability and helps to keep excess foot movement in check while alleviating pressure on the ankle
- Rubber outsole offers excellent traction on a variety of surfaces and encourages quick transitions
CONS:
- The Speed Heel may be uncomfortable for some
Most Supportive
3. Brooks Addiction GTS 15
The Addiction GTS 15 is a very stable shoe. If you need an extra bit of support and stability, especially in the ankle area, this one could be the right thing for you.
What We Like
An engineered mesh upper molds to your foot, holding it in place and allowing the robust heel counter to do its job. The padded counter helps to lock your rearfoot in place, reducing movement that could lead to ankle instability.
One of the most stable features of this shoe is its wide base. It adds inherent stability to the footwear on every step. And paired with the GuideRails, it makes for a super stable shoe.
The BioMoGo DNA cushion alleviates shock and protects your ankles from the vibrations of running. If the insole is too soft or too firm for you, or doesn’t quite support your arch, the interior of the shoe has plenty of space for orthotics.
Why We Like It
Although the rollbar has been removed, the addition of the GuideRails makes this shoe exceptionally stable. It’s got all the features necessary to keep your ankle safely in place, whether you’re a neutral runner or an overpronator.
What to Consider
This shoe may be super supportive, but it’s much heavier than others. If you’re looking for something lightweight, this one might not be your favorite.
What’s New
The 15 features the popular GuideRails system for stability, and the Progressive Diagonal Rollbar has been removed. There’s also been a bit of an upper redesign, making it more plush.
PROS:
- Engineered mesh upper molds to the shape of your foot, while the interior has ample room to accommodate orthotics
- DNA cushioning is responsive and provides shock absorption while cushioning each step
- Padded heel counter wraps around your ankle and reduces excess movement of the rearfoot
- Wide base enhances stability and balance, which reduces your risk for rolling your ankle
CONS:
- At 12.5 ounces, this shoe is quite heavy
Most Cushioned
4. ASICS Gel-Kayano 30
The ASICS Gel-Kayano 30 is highly cushioned, not just in the midsole but in the plush upper too. If you’re after shock absorption for ankle pain relief, the Gel-Kayano could be the right shoe.
What We Like
The medial post in this shoe, known as the 4D Guidance System, provides classic stability and support—and it doesn’t stop the shoes from being comfortable and cushioned.
The 4D post prevents overpronators from rolling their ankles, and it can do the same for those with ankle instability as it guides the foot through the proper gait cycle. At the same time, a semi-rigid heel counter just locks the rearfoot down to prevent any excess movement.
In the midsole, a soft layer of cushioned FF Blast Plus Eco padding cradles the foot comfortably and compresses on every step. This effectively absorbs shock and protects your ankles and foot bones from injury.
The wide platform also makes the shoe extremely stable, and the outsole keeps you safe on most surfaces. Less chance of slipping means less chance of hurting an ankle.
Why We Like It
These shoes are exceptionally comfortable and cushioned, and at the same time, they support the ankles very well. Excellent for shock absorption!
What to Consider
These shoes may take a good few miles to get used to these shoes. You’ll need to be patient—as long as your shoes are the right size, they’ll ease up.
What’s New
The 30 features three and a half more millimeters of cushioning in the midsole, plus a smoother ride than its predecessor.
PROS:
- Generous layer of energetic foam cushioning cradles your foot while compressing to provide excellent joint protection
- 4D Guidance System provides adaptive stability and gently guides your foot through your gait cycle
- Wide platform and increased heel bevel offer inherent stability, while providing a smooth and comfortable ride
- Semi-rigid heel counter is padded for comfort and offers a secure lockdown of the rear foot
CONS:
- May take some time to get used to these shoes
Top Lightweight Shoe
5. Mizuno Wave Inspire 19
The Mizuno Wave Inspire 19 is nice and lightweight for a stability shoe. It has a good amount of stability, so you can expect better ankle strength and support when wearing it.
What We Like
The Wave Inspire 19 features a supportive Wave Plate in the midsole, which stops the sole from twisting and compromising the ankle’s stability, and adds a bit of bounce to your stride.
This makes the shoe feel quite light – you definitely don’t feel weighed down by it.
ENERZY foam surrounding the Wave Plate provides excellent impact absorption, adding more protection to your ankles and making each step soft and comfortable.
The seamless upper wraps around your foot, adding light support as you lock your foot down. This also helps keep the plate in the right place to be most effective.
A heel-to-toe drop of 12mm relieves calf tightness, which can have a positive impact on ankle pain that might be caused by tight Achilles or aching calves.
The durable, tractive outsole grips well to different surfaces, keeping you safe and allowing your ankles to navigate the ground without instability.
Why We Like It
For a stability shoe with a plate, this shoe feels surprisingly light. It’s a great choice for those who want a bit of pop and an array of ankle-supportive features.
What to Consider
This shoe isn’t the best for speed. If you’re planning on doing easy runs, tempo runs, or long distance runs, they’re great, but might not handle speedier runs as well.
What’s New
No big changes have happened to this shoe. The Wave Plate has had a minor redesign for added stability, and there’s also more foam surrounding it.
PROS:
- Seamless upper is breathable, with a snug fit that offers a secure lockdown without feeling like your feet are restricted
- ENERZY foam feels lighter underfoot while offering a softer and bouncier ride
- The WAVE plate provides excellent stability, absorbs shock, and helps guide your foot while propelling you forward
- Durable and grippy outsole offers excellent traction in both wet and dry conditions
CONS:
- Not the best choice for runners who want speed
Best for Wide Feet
6. New Balance Fresh Foam X 860v13
If you have both wide feet and bad ankles, this shoe can help you find the best support and stability to protect your feet.
What We Like
New Balance has always been a dependable choice for wide-footed runners, and the Fresh Foam X 860v13 is no exception. It has a wide base, multiple stability features, and extra wide sizes in addition to its naturally wide fit.
While the upper is flexible and accommodates wide feet well, it still locks down, helped by the molded heel counter holding the rearfoot in place. No excess movement in the rearfoot means less chance of ankle injury as you run.
A handy medial post in the midsole stops the ankle from rolling inwards and significantly stabilizes weak ankles. The Fresh Foam in the midsole provides good arch support, as well as being comfortable, soft, and energetic at the same time.
Why We Like It
This shoe accommodates all types of wide feet, and provides more than enough stability features to keep your feet and ankles safe from harm.
What to Consider
Those with narrow feet most likely won’t be able to wear these shoes. As nice as they look, avoid them if you don’t have wide feet!
What’s New
The midsole has been updated with Fresh Foam X, adding softness and some pep. The medial post has also been slightly reshaped.
PROS:
- Lightly structured upper is supportive with some flexibility that can accommodate wider feet
- Molded heel counter provides a secure fit, while the flared heel collar reduces irritation of the Achilles tendon
- Firm, dual-density medial post provides stability and helps reduce pronation which can place stress on the ankles
- Available in a wider option if you’re feet need extra room
CONS:
- Not suitable for narrow-footed runners
Top for Heel and Ankle Support
7. ASICS GT-2000 11
Supporting the heel is an essential part of ankle support. The GT-2000 11 is a stability shoe with excellent features that protect both the heel and the ankle.
What We Like
A stiff heel counter supports the heel in a gentle yet firm way, stopping rearfoot movement and saving your ankle from moving out of its range of motion.
Underfoot, LITETRUSS technology keeps the foot properly aligned and stops the foot from rolling over on rough terrain or due to gait problems.
FF Blast foam is super comfortable and adds a bit of energy to your ride. Plus, a beveled heel makes for smoother, more stable landings and improved shock absorption, keeping your ankles safer.
There’s also a gel unit under the heel, which adds more support, shock absorption, and comfort. All in all, this shoe is great for protecting both the heel and the ankle.
Why We Like It
The sturdy heel counter, stability features, and excellent shock absorption make this shoe a great choice for both heel and ankle support.
What to Consider
The GT-2000 11 runs a little small. You may need to size up to get the right size for your feet.
What’s New
This model features FF Blast instead of the FlyteFoam from the previous version. There’s one extra millimeter in the midsole, and the upper has received a small redesign to be more eco-friendly.
PROS:
- Stiff heel counter offers comfortable and gentle support by preventing rearfoot movement
- Generous layer of FF BLAST foam and gel unit in the heel provides a energetic and comfortable ride
- Beveled heel provides smoother landings and encourages speedy heel-to-toe transitions
- LITETRUSS technology enhances stability by reducing overpronation which can place stress on the ankles
CONS:
- This shoe runs slightly small
Best for Bad Ankles and Knees
8. ASICS Gel-Nimbus 26
The Gel-Nimbus 26 is a super choice for those who need support for bad ankles and knees. It’s got the best shock-absorbing abilities, which is a huge positive.
What We Like
This shoe is impressively cushioned, featuring a spectacular stack height of 41.5 mm in the heel and 33.5 mm in the forefoot of the men’s shoe, and just 1 mm less in the ladies’ shoes.
The midsole comprises FF Blast+ Eco cushioning, soft and comfortable underfoot. In the heel, you’ll find a PureGel insert that absorbs shock on every step, relieving the ankles and knees from jarring.
A sizable heel bevel helps you smooth over the heel-to-toe transition, taking more strain off the joints. Whi;e there’s no rigid heel counter here, the padded heel collar hugs the rearfoot and keeps it nicely in place, especially as the knit upper provides a good lockdown.
The 8 mm heel drop is slightly shorter than average, but still high enough to alleviate strain on the Achilles, which can help to reduce pressure on both the knee and the ankle.
Finally, two different types of rubber on the outsole—AHAR and AHAR+—keep you safe on your feet so there’s no risk of jarring either joint with an accidental slip.
Why We Like It
The combination of shock-absorbing foam, gel, and superior stack height, makes this a fantastic choice for those who need support for both the ankles and the knees.
What to Consider
This shoe isn’t as breathable as others, so it can be easy for your feet to overheat if you’re running in a hot place.
What’s New
The most significant change to this shoe is that PureGel cushioning has been added in the heel. Aside from that, the upper has been slightly redesigned, the stack height has increased, and the heel drop has decreased to 8 mm.
PROS:
- Thick layer of soft, bouncy foam and gel unit in the rear foot absorb impact and protect the ankles and knees from jarring
- The 8 mm heel drop helps to ease calf tightness a little, reducing pain in the knees and ankles
- Two types of rubber on the outsole help to keep you safe on all surfaces, preventing jarring to the joints from slipping
- Luxurious knit upper stretches slightly but helps to provide a tight yet comfortable lockdown on the foot
CONS:
- The shoe isn’t the most breathable
Top Trail Shoes
9. Brooks Cascadia 17
Trail runners, this shoe is our top choice for looking after your ankles on uneven ground. Run with confidence and without pain.
What We Like
The Brooks Cascadia 17 is a robust trail running shoe that can handle both the uneven terrain of the trail and the instability of your ankles. Its new Trail Adapt System brings various features to the shoe’s stability.
The first element of this new system is a thick layer of DNA LOFT v2 foam, soft and shock-absorbing. A stiff rock plate is in the middle of this foam, preventing the arch from collapsing and the ankle from rolling inwards.
In the rearfoot, the plate helps to stabilize the heel, which is complemented by a stiff heel counter so your heel isn’t going anywhere.
The final piece of the system is a segmented outsole, which helps the shoe retain some flexibility despite the stiff rock plate. TrailTack rubber on the outsole also ensures you have very little chance of losing your footing and twisting something.
Why We Like It
The Cascadia is a great-looking shoe offering everything you need to stay safe on the trails. Plus, the new features do an excellent job of stabilizing and supporting the ankle as you run.
What to Consider
The shoe takes a bit of time to get used to, especially as the rock plate adds a stiffness to the shoe. It’s also on the heavy side, so be aware of this before you buy.
What’s New
The shoe features Brooks’ new Trail Adapt System, including an integrated midsole and a rock plate. The outsole also now features TrailTack Rubber Technology and is more sustainable as it’s made of recycled material.
PROS:
- Rigid heel counter holds the rearfoot firmly in place and prevents any excess movement that could compromise ankle stability
- Double-layered DNA LOFT v2 foam absorbs impact effectively and reduces vibration through the muscles and joints as you run
- Rock plate in the midsole offers excellent stability and stops the foot from rolling and inuring the ankle
- TrailTack rubber on the outsole ensures that there’s very little chance of losing your footing and twisting an ankle
CONS:
- The shoe takes some time to break in
- It’s somewhat heavy in comparison to others
Best for Casual Wear and Running
10. New Balance 990v6
Want something you can run in but wear to the store without looking like you’re wearing athletic gear? The New Balance 990v6 is perfect… And it’s got great ankle-protection features too.
What We Like
This shoe hasn’t changed much over time. It still has that “old classic” look and only comes in black and gray, so those who like the retro feel will appreciate the aesthetic. But it houses some great features that allow you to run in these too.
Some of the features that do a great job of supporting your ankles include a midfoot saddle that brings the upper in close to the foot for firm support, a naturally wide base—and the option to buy wider sizes—plus a tough TPU heel counter.
The combo of FuelCell and ENCAP midsole cushioning gives the shoe some decent shock absorption, alleviating strain on the ankle, while still giving it a bounce.
Lastly, there’s a good bit of rubber on the outsole so you can be confident about your run and not worry about slipping and hurting your ankle, or any other part, for that matter.
Why We Like It
The “old classic” style of this shoe makes it a good-looking option for casual wear. Plus, it’s cushioned and supportive enough to support your ankles fairly well while running.
What to Consider
If you choose to wear these for both running and casual wear, they may last for a while. You’ll need to clean them more often or risk odor in the material.
What’s New
FuelCell is a new addition to the midsole, and the sole is more bulky than it was in the previous versions. Nothing else is new—this shoe is designed to be as close to the original as possible!
PROS:
- Mesh and synthetic upper looks stylish and along with the midfoot saddle, also provides a great lockdown so your ankle can be well supported
- The combination of FuelCell and ENCAP midsole cushioning provide excellent shock absorption to protect your joints from impact
- Naturally wide base adds an inherent stability to the shoe and you have the option to buy in wider sizes if necessary
- Extensive rubber coverage on the outsole reduces your chances of hurting your ankle due to a slip or losing your balance
CONS:
- These shoes may not last as long if used for both casual and athletic wear
Buyer’s Guide – Running Shoes for Bad Ankles
Planning on shopping around for a pair of running shoes for bad ankles? If you want to look around, these are the features you need to be ticking off your list.
Ankle Support
This is obvious! If you need shoes to support your ankles, they need good ankle support, but it’s not exactly what you think. You might think of high-tops, which can be difficult to run in.
But you don’t need a shoe with a physical piece of material around your ankle. All you need is a shoe that holds your rearfoot firmly in place, so there’s no unnecessary movement of the heel and ankle.
A sturdy heel counter is a requirement here. You should also find a shoe that gives you a great lockdown on your feet, which can add to the support in the rearfoot. Also, a robust heel collar is a good idea.
Support and Stability
You need to make sure that you’re wearing the right kind of shoe for your gait. If you overpronate, you need a stability shoe. If you’re a neutral runner, you still want a firm shoe that won’t easily twist or bend.
Cushioning
Good cushioning might not seem like it helps the ankles, but you’d be surprised. When you’ve got good padding underneath your feet, it absorbs shock on every step, significantly lessening the impact on your foot joints, including the ankle.
Minimalist shoes offer little cushioning, so we advise avoiding them if you need ankle support. Maximalist shoes can be handy, but some runners might be prone to twisting an ankle thanks to their high stack height.
Whichever you choose, make sure it’s comfortable under your feet. Cushioning also comes in different firmness and density, so you need to find something that isn’t too soft or firm and gives you just the right amount of bounce to suit your running style.
Durability
You don’t want to be replacing your shoes every month. The ones you choose should be made of high-quality material and have good reviews about their durability.
Keep in mind that sizing plays a large part in durability—if they’re too small, there’s a higher likelihood of holes developing in the upper, and so on. Even if they’re too big, they may hamper your running style, causing excessive wear and tear on the shoes.
FAQs
Why do my ankles hurt after running?
Sore ankles can occur for a variety of reasons after running. It could just be the pounding on your feet and ankles, or it could be a symptom of arthritis, muscle strain, a minor ankle sprain, tendinitis, or tight muscles.
Dr. Sebastian Gonzales, who specializes in running injuries, identified the six most common reasons for ankle pain: Achilles Tendonitis, Anterior Shin Splints, Ankle Impingement, Chronic Ankle Instability, Tarsal Tunnel Syndrome, and Peroneal Tendonitis.
How can I strengthen my ankles?
The best way to strengthen your ankles is to wait 24 to 72 hours after running to try stretching and strengthening exercises. Some examples include standing calf stretches, ankle circles, heel walks, towel pulls, hand-foot wars, leaps, and calf raises.
Also, don’t forget about your core! The stronger your lower body and core is, the better support your ankles will have. Exercises like squats and lunges will strengthen your whole drive train, and in turn strengthen your ankles.
My ankles roll out when I run – what should I do?
Ankles rolling out is often caused by excessive supination, meaning that the runner’s foot does not roll inward enough, which puts a strain on the ankle and can cause the ankle to roll outward. If this describes you, you have several options.
Stretches like a calf stretch, plantar fascia stretch, and knee stretch will all assist you in strengthening your ankles. In addition, good footwear that has extra cushioning, arch support, and a roomy toe box may also help your ankles when you run. Finally, using orthotics, proper form, and physical therapy are all ways to reduce your ankle pain—particularly from them rolling out—when you run.
My ankles roll in when I run – what should I do?
Ankles rolling in is called ankle pronation, as your foot rolls inward and your arch flattens. You can have a friend easily check to see if your ankle are apt to roll in when you run by having them watch from behind and see if your Achilles tendon, which should be straight, bends.
A small amount of pronation is not just natural—it’s necessary to how your foot absorbs impacts. But if you find out that you are suffering from over-pronation, you have several stretching options: toe lifts, golf ball rolls, towel scrunches, and calf/heel stretches on the stairs. In fact, one of the best ways to address ankle pronation is walking on the beach! According to sports medicine expert Gary Moller, walking in sand will spread your toes and help stretch out the tendons in the foot and back of your ankle.
How should I treat my sore ankles after running?
There are a variety of different things you can do if you experience sore ankles after running. You’ll need to find the ones that are best for you. I personally like to stretch both before and after my runs, ice my feet, incorporate strength training on my non-running days, and make sure that my rest days are real rest days (I sometimes will do light yoga on those days).
Icing your muscles after you run is important to enhancing muscle recovery, and this is certainly true of sore ankles. In fact, a cold shower—or even better, an ice bath—will work on a larger area than just localized icing. Ice baths are definitely ideal for a preventative measure to avoid injuries.
Don’t rule out heating, but also use it with caution. Heat can be helpful if you are tight, but remember that it expands and further inflames the muscles, so you don’t want to do more harm than good. Alternating cycles of heat and ice could be a good option.
Stretching is key to helping prevent sore ankles and other injuries. Dynamic stretching tends to be more helpful than static stretching, particularly before a run. Try to avoid being lazy either before or after you run, and get that stretching in. Yoga on your off days can help too.
Strength training is another great way to improve your performance and prevent injuries. This is especially true for older athletes. If you find yourself with a lot of ankle pain, you should consider weight training, functional strength training, and core work to alternate with your running days.
Finally, don’t forget the importance of resting and relaxing. The RICE formula is a great response to a hard workout: rest, ice, compression, and elevation. Take advantage of the excuse to kick up your feet and binge watch that show on Netflix!
Should I tape my ankles before running?
Although not extremely common at your local gym, some people do like to tape their ankles before running, and it’s true that lateral ankle sprains account for the majority of leg injuries. However, research suggests that while ankle taping does successfully protect the ankle, it could move stresses up to the knee and cause injuries higher up the leg. Thus, it’s important to carefully consider if ankle taping is going to be best for you.
If you do decide to tape, it’s best to do so after you have injured your ankle, not as a preventative measure. Also, in order for an ankle wrap to be effective, it must restrict the ankle’s range of motion, so make sure that your taping is tight enough. Finally, it’s probably best to consult a physical therapist or athletic trainer to make sure that taping is the right thing for you.
