I used one of the ProSport ones for my ankle a while back - found it great tbh. Available in most chemists I think, about €6-7

I badly sprained my right ankle twice in quick succession and I too started to wear an ankle support. Unfortunately I read somewhere (might have been here, will try and find the article) that if you constantly wear the support it can cause trouble with the muscles of the ankle.

Have a read of the link below and see if it helps Niamho, I personally only wear a support now if I know I will be giving the ankle a hard time as in circuits, I've stopped wearing it completely for jogging. Maybe one of the weight lifters will advise as to whether you should wear one while lifting weights actually I'd be interested in knowing that myself.
