If you’ve ever had ankle trouble on the court, you’ve probably spent hours researching the best shoes for support. You may not have found Ektio, though, as the company is fairly new.
Ektio was founded by Dr. Barry Kratz, the father of a collegiate basketball player. Kratz was worried about his son’s ankles and so set about making a shoe unlike any other. That’s how Ektio was born, shoes designed to defend and protect against one of the most crippling injuries a basketball player can endure. Bullz-Eye had a chance to review the Ektio line of shoes and came away highly impressed.
Here’s what they had to say:
When your feet enter the Ektio Post Up you immediately feel the built in ankle support and get the feeling that your ankle is secure, like when you slip into a ski boot. When you strap the Ektio up you know this is something special, and the strong support and the “anti rollover bumpers” work like a charm. Ektio makes it near impossible to roll your ankles! The Ektio is lightweight, stylish and offers the safety that basketball players could only dream about before their arrival. On the court hooping it up, the Ektio Post Up was light weight and an overall superb baskbetball shoe. You really gain more confidence in your game and are willing to go the extra mile knowing you have a solid base to protect you from a simple ankle rollover that could keep you off the court for months.
