I have one of those & they are the best type IMO.

the lace up are OK to but don’t feel as comfortable.

my left ankle is bad…& what i did is i went to the good feet store in cranberry. got fitted for the “exerciser” type insert & its made a huge difference.  
i use to have ankle pain in my left ankle all the time, & now its pretty much gone.  
the main cause of ankle rolling is due to poor posture/ankle alignment which causes the ankle to be weak.  
this insert aligns everything so the ankle stays very stable.

i recommend going to the store & trying them out…they will show you how its stabilizes your ankles.

now I wear the inserts with a basketball sneaker that has good ankle support preferable a velcro strap around the ankle &higher then a 3/4 top  
& i have had no problems.
