When you’re grinding through a long season, one bad ankle roll can take you from Friday-night lights to the sideline. Football demands power, balance, and control, and the TayCo AthleticX Brace keeps you locked in without slowing you down. Built to fit over your cleats, this brace delivers medical-grade stability with game-ready mobility, giving football players the confidence to cut, plant, and explode through contact. It’s trusted by athletic trainers, sports medicine doctors, and programs across the NCAA and NFL because it works on the field, in practice, and during rehab.
Football Requires Stability and Mobility
Every down puts stress on your ankles. Quick cuts, jump-balls, and piles in the trenches. Traditional lace-up braces feel stiff and limit your drive, while taping loses support halfway through the first quarter. The AthleticX Brace gives you the best of both worlds: elite protection and natural movement. Players can move through routes, take hits, and stay fast off the snap without worrying about their ankles.
Backed by Sports Medicine Expertise
Dr. Sonam Maghera, MD, an Interventional Sport Medicine physician, calls the AthleticX Brace a go-to for athletes who need support without losing their edge:
“This is the TayCo AthleticX, an over-the-shoe brace that stabilizes your ankle but still lets you run, jump, and push off. I use braces that protect without killing mobility, and this one fills a gap lace-ups couldn’t for many of my patients.”

Real Feedback from the Field
Foot Doctor Zach, a podiatrist who specializes in footwear’s role in sports performance, put the AthleticX Brace through its paces and asked the question every athlete wants answered: “Is this brace stupid or genius?” After testing it himself, his verdict: genius for cleated sports. He found that the over-the-shoe design gives real lateral stability without killing agility, something tape and lace-ups just can’t deliver.

“The TayCo Brace gives football players the rare combo of real support and true movement, something most braces just can’t offer.”

Whether you’re fighting in the trenches or breaking tackles in open field, the AthleticX Brace keeps you in the game and off the injury list.
Proven on the Field and in the Lab
Independent testing at Ball State University showed the AthleticX Brace controls ankle motion in all planes during landings, without limiting knee or hip function. It maintains muscle activation and reduces impact stress, so you keep full speed, balance, and confidence in every rep.
Why It’s Better Than Tape
Taping ankles is part of the football ritual, until you realize it’s not enough. Tape loosens up, limits flex, and burns through your budget. By the second quarter, you’re already losing support. The AthleticX Brace solves that:
-
Delivers consistent protection all game long, no retaping needed.
-
Keeps your explosive push-off while locking out the roll.
-
Can be adjusted in seconds between plays or players.
Trainers love it. Players trust it. Tape can’t compete with that kind of reliability.
Why Athletes and Physicians Trust The AthleticX
From recovery to prevention, the AthleticX gives players the confidence to go full tilt. Cut sharper, plant harder, and finish the play without hesitation. It’s proven in testing, recommended by sports medicine doctors, and worn by the athletes rewriting what ankle support looks like in football.
Protect. Perform. Play full speed with the TayCo AthleticX Brace.
