Great! Thanks

Mymost recent purchase of the ankle brace was rewarding.After two ankle surgeries I can walk much better .Thanks for your product and your prompt service!

Patrick Desmond here. I have been a long time user of TayCo Braces, I have the Custom External AFO Brace for both ankles. I have irreparably damaged ankles where no manner of surgery, including ankle replacement, would be effective. I was recommended TayCo Braces several years ago by my Podiatrist and Ortho. The braces have totally changed my life - enhancing my quality of life in a way I could not have imagined possible. Where before, I had very limited mobility and constant pain, I am now, with the TayCo Braces, able to lead a very comfortable life. I walk, golf, travel and am quite active. I wear the Braces, all day - every day, and as a result, I have significantly improved my mobility and I am essentially pain free. I have even bought additional duplicate braces, so I can rotate them to increase their longevity. They wear well and re easy on and easy off, are very comfortable and perform as advertised. The TayCo support staff is professional in every regard - responsive, helpful and courteous. Totally professional product, supported by a totally professional staff.

Patrick, we are beyond grateful for your incredible review. Hearing that our braces have transformed your mobility, comfort, and quality of life is exactly why we do what we do. Thank you for trusting us and for your kind words about both our braces and our team — your story inspires us every day!

Excellent product

This is exactly what I needed. I’ve used the other Tayco brace, and now after surgery I needed a more flexible model. This works perfectly

We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, Russell! We’re so glad the AthleticX Brace has been exactly what you needed, and that it's working well for you after surgery.

Great product but customer service is lacking

This brace is exactly what we needed after my son’s Achilles tendon surgery. I would give 5 stars, but I paid for expedited shipping and the product was “delayed” so we did not receive it as quickly as expected. I reached out to the company asking to be refunded for the extra shipping cost ($30) but no one ever responded to me or even acknowledged the issue. I do, however, get daily emails from this company asking me for a review. So here it is. Not great customer service at all but a very nice product.

We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace has been helpful for your son after surgery, but we’re truly sorry your experience with shipping and customer service. This is not consistent with our standards, nor the level of care we aim to provide. We’ll be reaching out to you directly to make things right.

helpful and comfortable

Much better than custom braces I have had and helpful with the fitting.

We’re so glad to hear that your AthleticX Brace is both comfortable and supportive, and that it’s been an improvement over custom braces you’ve tried in the past. We truly appreciate you sharing your experience, Robert!
