How Does an External Ankle Brace Work?

TayCo Brace products work with your shoe to support and stabilize your ankle and hindfoot by limiting movement in different directions. It does this by controlling how your foot moves forward and backward, side to side, and even up and down — all while wearing a sturdy athletic walking/jogging shoe, work boot, diabetic shoe, or cleat.

"The RecoverX Brace was the best thing I have gotten for my ankle. I have chronic ankle instability and chronic thinning of my ATFL ligament. This is the first thing I have gotten that has given me pain relief and comfort when working on my feet."

True Professionals, a Rare Find!

"TayCo Brace has made a huge difference for my sister, who has Cerebral Palsy. Can’t say enough good things about them for going the extra mile to ensure the fit and comfort suited her and was easy to put on."

Diane F.

Couldn't Have Played

"During my sophomore year of college I had an ankle injury, and wearing TayCo helped me not miss a snap the rest of the season."

Joe Alt, NFL Draft Prospect

Not Just for Ankle Sprains

"My daughter suffered a severe brain injury which left her with paralysis in her left calf and foot. I’m very impressed with the design!! She was able to walk 1/2 mile in the brace with her walker without pain. I believe the brace has the capability of replacing most AFOs."

Lisa Z.

Back to Work

"Very lightweight and practical walking brace for those who work!
It is so much more liberating then a big old standard walking boot, plus I can wear safety shoes which are required for work. I lost 2 jobs because of the boot, the brace is a game changer. The old ways are great if you don’t really want to be mobile, I’ll let the data do the talking."

KENNETH B.

Better than a Boot

"After a diagnosis of you must wear a boot for 4-6 weeks and knowing from past experiences that I would have all sorts of compensatory issues after, I said no way. I then started looking for alternatives. This is so much better!"

Pauline C.

Returned to Play Sooner Than Expected

"Throughout my college career I dealt with several high ankle sprains. The TayCo Ankle Brace allowed me to return to practice and play in games much sooner than expected. Not only did this help my performance but it also made me more confident I would not re-injure my ankle."

Liam Eichenberg, #74 Miami

Problem Solver
