An ankle brace includes a wrap, lateral and medial stays, and first and second strap portions (e.g., a single unitary strap) secured to the wrap. A first wrap portion envelops the foot, and a second wrap portion envelops a portion of the lower leg. The lateral and medial stays have question-mark-shaped peripheries, and extend along portions of the lower leg, the ankle, and lateral and medial portions of the foot, respectively. The first and second strap portions wrap around a top of the foot in first and second directions, respectively, around the back of the leg, and releasably secure to lateral and medial sides of the wrap. Each stay overlaid by the first and second strap portions at three locations to redundantly secure each stay to the wrap. The lateral and medial stays may be contoured according to the lateral and medial sides of the foot, ankle, and lower leg.
