Easy-On Sports Brace - AthleticX Brace
Rex M. (Clinton, NC, US)
Ankle Brace

I actually purchased this brace for my sister. She had an ankle replacement about five years ago and has gotten along well with it until recently when she began to feel pain in her ankle and foot. She suffers from several other issues, including RA. She has periodically worn a molded boot in hopes of relieving some of the pain. She has worn the new brace for approximately 1 - 2 weeks and says it’s much more comfortable and she has commented that it fits nicely and is much more comfortable. Most of her pain has subsided and we pray that will continue!

Thank you for sharing, Rex! We’re so glad your sister has found the AthleticX Brace comfortable and supportive, and that she’s already experiencing some relief. Thank you for sharing her experience, and we hope she continues to feel more comfortable and confident with each wear!

Rugged Outdoors Gear - CombatX Brace
William W. (Anchorage, AK, US)

I have only worn the brace for a couple of days. Unfortunately, I have noticed no difference between wearing it and not wearing it. I don't know if it is because of the type of boot that I wear, but I feel no additional support.
I am going to try it with a lighter shoe and see if that makes a difference.

Thank you for sharing your feedback, William. We’d like to make sure you’re getting the support you should from the brace, so our team will reach out to provide some personalized fitting support and help troubleshoot the fit with your footwear.

Walking Boot and AFO Alternative - RecoverX Brace
Barry G. (Chattanooga, TN, US)
Just what I needed for Stability and Comfort!

I recently purchased the Tayco Recover X Brace to wear instead of my very uncomfortable AFO. The Recover X Brace is super comfortable and easy to put on and gives me the stability of my AFO. I am very pleased with the brace and will probably buy another one just for outside yard work and chores. Excellent Brace!

Thank you for sharing your story, Barry! We’re so glad the RecoverX Brace is giving you the stability you need with the comfort and ease you were looking for. We appreciate the great review!
