I've been doing MT for a few months now and have gotten a lot of ankle collisions lately from my kicks being checked. My ankles are all swollen now so I have to break from sparring. I am wearing Hayabusa MMA shinguards but they don't protect my ankles.
So I'm looking for a ankle protection and I'm reading about CageFeet, and about ankle socks.
CageFeet is to help grip the mat. I'm pretty sure it will fit under my shin guards but doesn't look like it's gonna offer much in the way of padding.
Then I saw "Combat Sports Grappling Socks" -- a "grappling sock and ankle support hybrid". Looks like the best of both worlds -- you get ankle padding and mat grip.
Anybody here have any feedback on these products or any advice for ankle protection for me?
