Ankle supports depend on level and use: Beginners = basic lightweight protection, Intermediate = double padding (Leone AB720), Advanced/Pro = reinforced triple padding. Padding: GEL+EVA = maximum protective comfort, Only EVA = economical rigid, Foam = basic for beginners. Fit: Elastic = practical quick, Velcro = precise adjustment.
