My ankle brace won't fit into my boot!

[jmelai]

My physiotherapist recommends that I wear an ankle brace whenever I'm doing any tedious activities, especially activities that has to do with the army.
But my ankle brace doesn't fit into my boot! I have a weak ankle and I need to wear this brace to prevent any further sprains. What can I do now? I know people who wear a different kind of boots because they have knee problems. Any solutions/suggestions?  ???

Take your brace, and go too the MIR.

It's a big pain in the bum, but if you go to the MIR and see a physiotherapist they can show you how to tape your ankle and foot so it provides the same support as the brace.  I don't know about special boots, it might be possible.

I don't know what kind of brace you're using, but I've used both the soft tensor variety, and the hard plastic lace-up variety and they will both fit inside a combat boot. You may need to loosen off the laces quite a bit, and jimmy your foot in, but it will definitely fit - I've been wearing them for years.

Worst case scenario, go to your QM and ask for a half-size larger boot.

If they gave you the type of brace that laces up, no wonder it doesnt fit, I had the same problem once.  See the MIR about getting a sport version.
