I had a classic walking boot for a fractured ankle, and developed SERIOUS sciattica from being off kilter with the boot too high. The walking boot was so very uncomfortable, I was in complete agony. The Tayco over the shoe brace provided some relief. I wore the regular boot for 7 weeks before getting the Tayco, not sure if the Tayco would have provided enough support the first couple of weeks, but it seems to do the trick for this stage of my recovery. I'm 57 so I heal a little slower than younger people, 10-12 weeks. Anyway, Tayco was a life saver! I still have sciattica but it is getting much better wearing an even brace with my other foot.
Thank you for sharing your story, Stacey! We're so glad the RecoverX Brace provided some much-needed relief during your recovery. We hear so often how traditional walking boots can throw everything out of balance, and it means a lot to know our over-the-shoe design helped you feel more supported and aligned.
Broke my foot 8 weeks ago and was in a boot. In the 7th week I began using the TayCo Brace and was able to participate in athletics again. The brace gave me the confidence that my ankle would remain stable.
Thank you for sharing your story, Shane! We’re glad to hear the AthleticX Brace gave you the support and confidence to return to athletics after your injury. Wishing you continued strength and a full recovery as you get back to doing what you love! 💪
Thank you, Jimmy! We'll reach back out in a few weeks to see if we've earned 5 stars. In the meantime, don't hesitate to let us know if there's any support we can provide.
I ordered this brace a size smaller. Th reason is that I attached my first brace to my baseball plate shoes. The one size smaller works on my regular shoes better. Still the best brace I’ve ever worn.
Thank you for such a great review, Dana. We're so happy to hear it's the best ankle brace you've ever worn!
Thank you for taking the time to share your review, Polly! We’re thrilled to hear that you found the brace lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use. That’s exactly what we aim for!
