Frankie BasileNot having to worry about ankle injuries, helped to fully optimize my game and play on a level that allowed me to finish this season 2nd on Lond Island for scoring
Juliette Gauthier Its my third year wearing the Ektio shoes, the third generation Alexio model is incredible. It gives me the confidence to play at a higher level. Since putting on the Post-up shoe bask in 2013, I've never suffered another spain on my ankle.

Conclusions from Pilot Study Drexel Univ.
The results indicate that the new shoe provides restriction of inversion comparable to a standard basketball shoe with a brace. However, the new shoe was found to have no restriction of motion in any of the other directions, unlike braces. Also for the one subject tested with a lace-on brace, it was found that the new shoe provided the same amount of inhibition of inversion as the lace-on brace. However, the interference of the new shoe with motion in all other directions ,particularly in internal rotation, was smaller than that of the lace-on brace.

Discussion
HospitalforSpecialSurgeryStudy
Tested athletes barefoot and with basketball shoes with and without tape doing basketball related activities such as running, jumping and cutting.
Study performed by Dr. Howard Hillstrom
Tested kinetics, kinematics and muscle firing patterns.
Overall, for activities routinely executed in basketball, the test shoe performed similarly to barefoot or conventional footwear both with and without taping.
This indicates that despite the ankle support that the Ektio shoe gives (by limiting inversion of the shoe) that overall ankle range of motion and kinetics compare favorably to current shoes with or without tape.

6 Year Success RateIn 6 years, the incidence of ankle sprains in customers wearing the shoe has been almost non-existent. We have had almost unanimous success in keeping players from spraining their ankle. Ektio has been able to protect ankles in the most demanding sport where ankle injuries are most prevalent, basketball.
