    This might seem like an odd request - I'm wondering where in town I can buy those ankle supports, they're a bit like a sock but tighter.

    I'd imagine a pharmacy is the best bet but I've checked with Cara and they have nothing, wouldn't be too optimistic trying Boots.

    Does anyone know for sure where I could get one? Thanks

    Something like this:

    I got that exact one in Higgins in Teeling St. But that was years ago now. Still worth a look though, I'm sure?

    Got one there a few years ago, excellent support. Give it a go, will have a look next time in there.

    You're probably sorted but Lifestyle and Elvery's do ankle and knee supports.

    I use the neoprene version which are great if you play sports as the support is excellent. You can buy them in most sports shops. I got mine in Barton Smiths a few years ago and they are still as good as new.

    I'm sure I picked up mine in Boots or Tohers.

    Sadly the ones in the picture aren't manufactured anymore. Scholl took over the Pro Sport brand and phased the product out. Which is a shame because they were the best ankle supports on the market imo.

    I find a lot of ankle supports that are sold now to be too bulky in comparison.
