If it was my child, I would take her to a really Good shoe store or running/sports clinic and ask people who know these problems very well.
A torn AT and her preference for gymnastics are both great reasons for her to have medical opinions– possibly a podiatrist or foot doctor visit would provide her with ORTHOTICS she could wear with various shoes. Custom Orthotics can prevent re-injury as well as support those weak ankles with the right choice of footwear.
Get some high tops to support the ankle!
and make sure there done up properly if there loose at the to they wont help at all!!!
