2. Attach the ankle straps above the supramalleolar, matching the gel pad with your Achilles tendon
3. Enter the S-shaped hook at the front of the ankle
4. Hook the S-shaped hook into the tension strap and pull the end to obtain the desired traction

Please Note: The plate hook is not needed for this method.

Method 3: When Shoeless

2. Set the banding (left or right) in the middle of the foot and the Velcro closures on the instep area
3. Ensure the locking hook is pointing in the right direction
4. Enter the S-shaped hook at the front of the ankle
