Great improvement

My wife had a stroke and left her left side affected to where her left ankle would turn out with each step. This made walking very difficult and a couple of times she has fallen once breaking her left arm. This ankle brace keeps her ankle from turning out now and has improved her walking ability with assistance from a walker.

Thank you so much for sharing your story, Terry. We’re incredibly glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is helping your wife walk more safely and confidently after her stroke. Preventing those ankle rollouts—and the dangerous falls they can cause—is exactly what we aim to do. Wishing you both continued progress and strength on her recovery journey!

Works great

The brace fits well and is comfortable.

That's great to hear. Thank you, Michael!

Bottom Strap not Long Enough

I bought the 7-9 Male brace and wear an 8.5” Wide shoe and it will only fit on my tennis shoes, and is way too short with any of my boots. Strap needs to be longer under the shoe, disappointing.

We appreciate the feedback, Michael. We will send you a larger size brace to see if that helps make a difference. Keep us posted.

Strap question

I think this brace will work but I’m concerned about the strap that goes under the shoe. I’ll be wearing the brace with shoes that don’t have cleats, if the strap wears out can the strap be replaced?

That’s great to hear, Vickey! The strap that runs under the shoe is reinforced with Kevlar—so while it may wear down over time like a shoe sole, it shouldn’t break. If it ever does, just let us know and we’ll replace it for free.

Support I needed

After surgery on my ankle my doctor recommended an over the shoe brace. I chose the Tayco Brace. It helps support my ankle yet lets in flex. I have only been using it a little over a week but am pleased with the way it works. once fitted for the shoe it's easy on and off.

Thank you for your reivew, Charles! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the support you need after surgery while still allowing for some flexibility. Wishing you continued progress in your recovery!
