[thephanatic]

If you really need support, go for Lace up and be sure to pull tight going through ever hole. but for less support but still some go for Compression.
i personally use lace up, i feel that i can still move my foot around and have maximum support

Compression does the job for me, but it really depends on your injury. Ask a dr., or borrow a lace up one from a friend before buying to see how you like it.

To play in I always preferred compression. I felt to limited in movement in the lace-up. But until it was safe enough to play in compression I stayed with thelace-up

it seems like I roll an ankle almost every other time I play so im looking for something thatll stabilize the ankle in a neutral position. At thesame time I want something that is pretty lighweight and not too bulky, which is why im interested in the compression brace.

Lace up is used in the Big East.
