After looking at the link provided I'm guessing they are called Twins Special Ankle Support

Shoes was my first thought as well. LOL

Are the "Twins Special Ankle Support" used for "bracing" the ankle as in a knee brace? Or are they also used to prevent slipping on the mat while barefoot?

I dunno about MMA, but in high school football I used them for support and another time years ago after a nasty ankle injury in Tae Kwon Do. They're just a neoprene-like wrap and essentially does the same thing as wrapping your ankle just in a slip on form as opposed to using a wrap.

Yeah, they wouldn't do much to keep you from slipping on the mat as you spend most of your time on the ball of the foot or the heel and both of these points are left open.
