Best ankle support to buy....... Any Recommendations?

Does anyone have any recommendations for a good ankle support to wear whilst running that's not too bulky to wear in trainers but still gives good support.

Having a few problems with my left ankle when I start running that's pretty uncomfortable. It goes away after about 15 minutes of running.

Just had gait analysis done and I over-pronate when I run which I think may have been the root cause. Have now fitted orthotic inserts into trainers to correct it but ankle is still painful to run on initially. Wonder if I might have slightly sprained it or something?

Don't really want to stop running unless I have to as I'm scared I'll stop altogether!

Not sure what type of strapping to get, but have your tried to rest it, and take some anti inflammatory such as brufen. This happened to me, but once I took 2 days off it seemed to resolve itself.
