Ankle brace should only be worn with a sports sock made from natural materials. Never wear this protective equipment if you have an open wound or without wearing socks! This is unhygienic and dangerous, as you can damage the skin or cause infection in the wound after prolonged wearing and sweating. First, a sports sock is put on, then ankle brace and sports sneakers.
If you wear compression socks or staples for an ankle without a sock, then after a few hours of playing volleyball, redness and irritation will occur on the skin. Socks keep the skin dry, eliminating the ingress of infections into the wounds.
