Better than a boot

The Walking Boot Recovery X has been an excellent device to help recover from an ankle fracture and sprain. I am able to walk without a hip hike. I was on crutches and scooter for awhile but the brace allowed me to walk short distances (as I was permitted). I wear it now, walking without assistant device for whatever distance I need to go.
Comfortable and breathes.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Pat! We're thrilled to hear the RecoverX Brace provided a comfortable alternative to a walking boot and helped you transition from crutches to walking with confidence. We appreciate your support and are so glad the brace has been part of your recovery journey.

Great help

These braces help stabilize my ankles wonderfully and are comfortable to wear. My only frustration is getting the Velcro straps from sticking to themselves when putting the braces on.

Thank you for sharing your experience, George! We’re glad to hear the RecoverX Brace has provided the support and stability you were looking for. We appreciate your feedback and are grateful you chose TayCo Brace to help you get back to doing more with confidence.

Amazing support!

TayCo team,
I wanted to first say thank you for creating such an incredible ankle brace! You may not ever see the results, but please know that I'm a big fan!

I tore a tendon on the inside of my ankle jogging one morning several years ago and actually caused my arch to collapse. The doctors put me in a boot with hopes it would heal vs surgery.

Fast forward 6 years later, the damage grew and basically was rolling off of my ankle. So I went through major surgery to rebuild the 2 main tendons on the inside of my foot, rebuild the achilles tendon, reposition my foot back where it should set and clean out calcium buildup and other joint issues. Quite a journey but needed done before I eventually rolled off my foot and would have to fuze it all together.
I'm 58years old and never thought I would be in this position because I've been athletic most of my life. It was just a fluke that the tendon snapped while I was running and had to go under surgery to correct the overall damage.

That was 4 months ago. I transitioned to the big walking boot and all was going great so I ordered your boot to help with the transition out of the boot. It's amazing!

I met with my doctor today, she's never seen the boot but approved the use and transition out of the main boot to just the walking shoe. This will help on longer journeys, hiking or beach walks too.

All in all, the fit is incredible and the stability it provides is exactly what I needed. I'm adding a couple of photos to see my journey but please know that you ah e a great product and my only wish is that I found it many years ago vs makeshift boots or braces.
Thanks again,
Rick

Thank you so much for sharing your journey, Rick! We’re thrilled to hear the RecoverX Brace has given you the stability and confidence you needed as you transition out of your walking boot after such an extensive recovery. Your story is exactly why we do what we do, and we’re grateful you chose TayCo Brace to be part of your journey back to hiking, beach walks, and the activities you love.

GREAT ALTERNATIVE TO WALKING BOOT

The walking boot I was given after ORIF surgery for a bimalleolar fracture was heavy, awkward and uncomfortable. I bought the TayCo RecoverX Brace as a lighter alternative, and then asked the surgeon if I could ditch the torture boot and replace it with the RecoverX brace. (Which, voila! , I then pulled out of my bag and handed to him) He was completely on board right away and was impressed that rather than just complaining, I had found an effective and safe alternative on my own.

I wear a lace up brace under my shoe in addition to the TayCo brace sometimes, but to protect sensitive surgical scars rather than for lack of stability. If I had one suggestion, it would be to add more and softer padding at the ankle.

The TayCo brace has given me great ankle support for return to work, starting weight bearing, walking, climbing and descending stairs. I'm sure all would have been more difficult with the walking boot. Hoping to have made enough progress to remove the top pins by the end of the month.

Thank you for sharing your story! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace provided the support and confidence you needed to transition out of your walking boot and get back to work and everyday activities. We also appreciate your thoughtful feedback about the padding, and we’re grateful you chose TayCo Brace to be part of your recovery journey.

Stability

I use it for golf and walking my only thought is the racket strap on bottom is how long will it last before it brakes

Thank you for sharing your experience, Ron! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is providing the stability you need for golf and walking. Regarding the stirrup strap, it’s reinforced with Kevlar to withstand repeated use under your shoe, and it’s designed to be one of the most durable components of the brace. We appreciate your feedback and are confident it will continue supporting you for many rounds ahead!
