since posting my first question ive found some ankle support on the internet

http://www.firstaid4sport.co.uk/Prod...ProductID=2940

could this sort of footsupport be worn during Kendo?

Hi Scandi...

If that's the sort of support you need then you might be better off with neoprene supports like these ones from ProSport: http://www.jtsports.co.uk/Pro%20spor...le-support.htm

I have the ones that you linked to and they are excellent, but I wouldn't use them for Kendo... the laces could come undone etc... Also, the manufacturer recommends that they be used over socks...

I use the ProSport neoprene ones and find that they help a lot...

The traditional Japanese Tabi (various permutations available) might also help if you have problems at the front of your feet : http://www.e-bogu.com/SearchResults....x=0&Search.y=0

There are loads of other types of Martial Art Supports that might help: http://www.e-bogu.com/Protectors_s/88.htm

What, specifically, is your problem? The nature of the problem will determine the best solution...

Hope this helps...
