What is a good ankle brace for support?

I run dog agility and role my ankle alot. Looking for something comfortable, that will provide enough support. Also that will fit easily in my shoe. There are so many out there, I haven't been able to find one that is comfy yet supportive. I have sprained this ankle a few times before, and now it just keeps happening.

Update:

Thanks everyone.

    I used to work for Aircast in R&D designing their ankle braces and walking boots, and have since struck out on my own designing a brace from everything I learned there.

    But before I pitch how wonderful my brace is, Have you done PT to rebuild your proprioception? If you haven't done PT, I wrote several blog articles on exercises to rebuild proprioception I got from Tim the PT who helped me design the final brace.

    Proprioception literally means "knowledge where your body is" and it helps prevent future injuries in the future. These exercises also help build strength which also helps prevent future injuries.

    Lastly I wrote another lengthy 2-part article titled "Which ankle brace is the best for me?" that will also help. (its way too long to repost here)

    Please feel free to call or email me if you haev any other questions.

    I really like the adiZero SpeedWrap, or adidas SpeedWrap.

    They're kind of a hybrid between the big bulky hard braces, and those looped braces(McDavid, ASO), taking the best of both, a lot of support with a TPU shank, but not a restricted feel.
