Walking Boot/RecoverX Brace

Thank you for this brace. It is working great from keeping my ankle from rolling over. It is comfortable to walk in. I give it a “10”.

Addy M.

After 4 ankle surguries in just under a year I really wanted to get back to basketball and immediately after putting this brace on I could run better with less pain. Although it didn’t eliminate all the pain it sure helps a lot! So thankful this brace will get me through basketball season!

Thank you for the fantastic review, Addy! We’re really glad to hear the AthleticX Brace is helping you get back on the court after such a tough stretch of surgeries. Wishing you a strong, healthy basketball season ahead!

Fern C. (Lincoln, NE, US)
It works!

The big clunky boot was giving me more back pain due to the uneven foot height. The over the shoe boot allowed me to compete in a sheep herding competition in the field.
My only complaint is my ankle bone is very sore after wearing the brace. Please send me any solutions to increase the comfort level.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Fern! We're so happy to hear it helped you compete. Our customer support team will reach out individually to see if we can help provide any tips to improve comfort.
